What happened

The pullback in Apple following Monday's Worldwide Developers Conference keynote does not shake our conviction in the stock.

Why it matters

That's an own-don't-trade [stock]," Jim Cramer said during CNBC Investing Club's Morning Meeting on Tuesday.

Common ground

He also cautioned investors from viewing the decline as a buying opportunity, given its recent rally, noting that "you cannot call the bottom here." Apple shares were down another 3% on Tuesday, adding to the prior session's near 2% decline.

Perspective signals

The tension in the story is sharpened by Loaded Language, Appeal to Authority: language that can make the dispute feel more urgent, personal, or adversarial than the underlying facts alone.
