And we'll take a look at GameStops fundamentals...including GameStops Q1 2021 earnings.

Apple Valuation. Is now a good time to invest in Apple stock? We look at sales by category, like iPhone net sales or products and services, and by country/geographic region. Based on Apple’s net income we calculate Apple’s price-to-earnings ratio, which is a very popular metric investors use to value a company. We also cover Apple’s book value per share. Whether you invest in Apple is your decision. This video may serve as inspiration but I am neither recommending you to buy nor to sell any Apple shares or securities.
