Avoid These

🚫 AAPL
Dead money - flat at $287, showing no momentum vs peers. Waiting for iPhone cycle but no catalyst visible.
The Trap: Looks 'cheap' vs NVDA but just stuck in range
🚫 NFLX
Flat at $88, down 34% from highs. Streaming wars intensifying, no clear catalyst for reversal.
The Trap: Tempting to buy 'cheap' streaming but trend is down
🚫 META
Up only 0.6% while NVDA/TSLA ripping. Relative weakness suggests distribution.
The Trap: Looks like AI play but underperforming AI leaders
