I will admit that every time I see others pick Apple Inc. (AAPL), I kind of laugh. We all see some people pick the same five tech stocks over and over (then over and over again). That really means they do not understand the tech sector and are really just picking the stocks that they really like. I rarely mention Apple.

That said, I saw everything coming together for a huge gain on Apple on July 5, 2013.

I put this out:

apple-pickWhat’s happened since the pick?
  • Our pick issued pre-market on July 5, 2013.
  • It closed on July 3rd at $420.80. (Dividend adjusted close: $414.68)
