There’s a worm in the Apple, but the stock price is flat-ish today
Yesterday: “Apple Admits Secretly Slowing Down Older iPhones”
What to do:
1) Replace your battery, but you will void the warrantee unless you have Apple replace it for $79
2) How about a class action lawsuit against Apple:

Saxo Bank's 10 OUTRAGEOUS predictions For 2018

...t’s estimated that around $800 billion sits in risk parity strategies across funds and discretionary accounts. With low returns offered in bonds and given the flattening yield curve, risk parity funds will have to increase leverage to meet volatility targets, causing underlying risk to go up.
In short, it’s a powder keg – any policy or shock could trigger a flash crash in multiple markets with risk parity funds acting as an amplifier as investors pile into cash.
For these reasons, the S&P 500 suffers a flash crash of 25% (peak-to-trough) in a spectacular, one-off move reminiscent of 1987. A whole swathe of short volatility funds are completely wiped out and a formerly unknown long volatility trader realises a 1000% gain and instantly becomes a legend.
