Berger: Why I am shorting Apple

401 views
Serge Berger is looking for stocks to trade with relative weakness and plenty of index exposure and Apple ticks that box.

Technically the stock has acted weak and looks to be able to fall further, although it is already about 9% off its early November highs. The stock marginally rallied above its 200-day moving average in early November, then quickly reversed lower. On Friday, it broke below the 50-day moving average for the first time since mid-October and is as such somewhat in freefall, Berger says.

According to Berger, the trade could also be done via the options market, where one could arguably express a bearish view with more creativity. He is looking to sell short at USD 113 or lower with a stop at USD 116. His target for the trade is USD 107.
