To The Moon

$Oracle(ORCL)$ $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ $Apple(AAPL)$ 

🍎 Down Movers

Apple $AAPL slipped -1.48% to $234.35 after unveiling its full iPhone 17 lineup. Despite product buzz (iPhone 17 from $799, Air $999, Pro $1,099, Pro Max $1,199), the stock sold off. The Mag 7 day was mostly green except for Apple’s pain.

I’m watching Apple $AAPL closely; the iPhone 17 launch couldn’t stop a -1.48% selloff. Given its weighting in both the S&P 500 and Nasdaq, Apple’s weakness tempered what was otherwise a green mega-cap day.
