I agree with you and @_Barry , I think Apple is the best house in a shady neighborhood.
I will add though that security and privacy are both an illusion, especially when it comes to the digital world.
Jim cramer says own Apple dont trade it, the only other stock he has added to that list is Nvidia (NVDA)I agree with him on both companies. They are both hyper inflated right now, best to wait for a 10%-20% sell off, before dollar cost averageing in.
Glad to have you back in this amazing Sangha!
