Is Apple headed towards 1 trillion dollars market cap before the end of 2018?

Apple nearly hit new all-time highs today. It came within 50 cents. Its market cap is currently $932 BILLION.

Hit like if you think it will be the first $1 trillion dollar company before the end of the year. $AAPL https://t.co/mx0N76FRPo pic.twitter.com/HCmSGapjGA

Is the valuation of the S&P 500 reasonable?

This looks like a reasonable #valuation for the S&P 500 and it wasn´t just caused by the drop in price but also the grow in earnings. If you combine that with the projected #earnings growth and the #technicalanalysis this suggests a #bullish environment | #ActiveInvesting https://t.co/eNnzdlgJp7

Are these two indicators telling the same bullish story ?

I would describe myself as a value investor but can recognise some technical patterns or money outflow whenever I see some.

It would appear that the S&P500 is breaking out as shown on this graph:

Equally, it would seem that a significant outflow of money has been recorded from volatility investments which had dominated the market stories in the past weeks:

This suggests a #bullish trend for the market and possibly also for $SVXY | #ActiveInvesting https://t.co/cWlmJYK0xs

Some would see these two observations as a bullish indicator. While I keep this information in the back of my head, I remain a stock picker rather than just an investor who follows the herd.

The pros and cons of the 200 days moving average

Is the recent retracement of the S&P500 towards its 200 days moving average just a fall signal or something that #bullish #investors should worry about ? #activeinvesting https://t.co/dboM3f6ZAT

Smart money flows sustain this 9-year bull market

This is indicative of a still intact #BullMarket 9 years after the last financial crisis and also suggests that it is not time to be invested in US #Bonds | #ActiveInvesting https://t.co/tJAExu8hLj

Debt and bulls rise together

..and isn’t it counterintuitive ? The right wing would expect that when the #market does well for years, wealth is redistributed and enough taxes are paid to reduce the #debt, but no. The fat cats get greedier and the middle class and low income take the hit. #ResponsibleInvestor https://t.co/u6BNGvw30O

The next bear market

It will depend on #earnings (for both 2018 and 2019 they are estimated to grow), on the ability of the @federalreserve to properly time the tightening of the cost of borrowing #money as well as on the #bonds market |#ActiveInvesting https://t.co/0eDc7qzOg1

The strength of financial derivatives

It is astonishing and somewhat concerning the climb of #derivatives, in this case #ETFs, in recent years: this gives the institutions issuing them a greater power than the real economy that underpins these financial products #ActiveInvesting #ResponsibleInvestor pic.twitter.com/2ZSF2YiB9J
