The Fox Business Network’s Stuart Varney is one of my favorite financial-market commentators.

And not just because he keeps inviting me back as a guest on his popular Varney & Co. segment.

I like and respect the iconic Varney for his no-nonsense demeanor, his ability to quickly cut to the heart of a story, and because he welcomes strong opinions – as long as they’re backed by sound arguments.

So I was as surprised as anyone back on Dec. 5 when a stock-price prediction I made during an interview rendered the polished TV host momentarily speechless.

My prediction had to do with Apple Inc. (NasdaqGS: AAPL).

And it’s a prediction that will put money in your pocket.
