Article Highlights

  1. Defying critics, I Know First remained bullish for Apple. The iPhone 7 sold well, but the one product that stood out was the iPhone SE. The iPhone SE’s success shows Apple’s success in diversification. Despite drawbacks in the past, Apple’s fundamental continues to impress. Since the article’s release on August 11, 2016, the stock has increased by 33%.
  2. Many were critical of Tesla’s unpopular decision to acquire SolarCity, some were skeptical of Tesla’s ability to mass produce the Model 3. Nevertheless, the popularity of the car and the company’s potential growth in the Chinese market, contributes to Tesla’s rise. On September 20, 2016, I Know First wrote a bullish article on the company.  Since the forecast, the stock has increased by 52.21%.
  3. Hewlett-Packard continues to solidify itself as the largest in the $55 billion dollar global hardcopy peripherals industry.  The company’s acquisition of Samsung’s printer business in September 2016 decreased competition and gave Hewlett-Packard access to over 6,500 patents from Samsung. Since writing a bullish article on September 23, 2016, the stock has increased by 24.47%.
