Buy now, I don't see this stock going much lower-too many improvements making quiet waves...
Well, folks, my experience is personal, as such my hope is that experience will help you decide if what I did yesterday with Apple (AAPL) is for you as well: Mine was something few believe, robocalls on this iphone, before that the landlines associated with it-but for the last 8 years, I have been the robocall king with over 28,000 calls-it ruined pretty much everything, as imagine if you had a phone, but could rarely use it because there was so much spam, it never allowed an open line-much less clients to call in-it was an impossible scenario, and then, very quietly, Apple just solved this for everyone with an Iphone-call screening. Now, after all of this interference, that problem is somewhat simply solved by Apple, I cannot stress enough how little this is up played so far.Narrative Update • Mar 17
