I just take it out and buy nothing but apple stock. 40% "unrealized gains" so far. Is there anything actually wrong with doing this

At some point Apple will have some bad quarters. Putting your eggs in one basket is dumb and bad.

Why. Does apple have any competition? What's the issue?

I used to have stock in more than one company but they would always go bad so I started putting only apple . Everything has been gravy ever since.

i can only laugh when you tell me you just dump all your investment capital into one stock, and that you're sitting at 40% unrealized gains but gently caress it let it riiiiiide

e: if I'm doing my mental math right, that means you bought in at ~$60 which means you've just been sitting on it and accruing more stock for the last year and some months. At the very least sell it all off and wait for the price to come down before buying more because the chart doesn't look like it's going to stay that high for long between the double top forming and the way the market rejected the $100 price last time (shot right back down to $75 and that was when Apple was doing much better).

but maybe I'm just high it's possible

You did your mental math right. But if I do that it will probably go up even more. And tim is more friendly to the wallstreet people than steve.
