Wall Street seems to be losing faith in stocks we thought were their favorites. Take Apple for example. Normally, new updates tend to rally their stock price. But here's what happened last week. The way I see it, Apple’s downtrend may continue as we inch closer to the thick of summer. And if I made a list of stocks to trade this summer, Apple most likely won't make that list. But rather than gamble on Apple stock... Buy shares outrightly... Or even keep an eye out for their next tech revolution before we act… A better idea might be to just zone in on the tickers and setups worth trading in the summer months.
