Apple gets squeezed by rising memory costs while Micron rakes in cash — long Mic
Thesis
Micron just reported earnings showing AI demand is driving massive memory shortages, while Apple's stock fell because it has to raise consumer prices to cover those exact same memory costs. When a parts shortage gets bad enough to force a giant like Apple to hike prices and take a stock hit, the supplier reaping all the profits becomes a very attractive investment. The combination of surging supplier profits and consumer-goods stress suggests the market will keep rotating money away from companies like Apple and toward the memory makers like Micron and Western Digital.
Strategy approach
Build a rule-based strategy that enters long MU on D1 when it breaks a 5-day high and AAPL drops >1% on the same day, with a 21-day max hold and a 7% trailing stop.
