It's historically been a smart move to buy Apple shares around this time of year coming off the technology giant's developer conference, according to Morgan Stanley's sales team. Apple's biggest announcement was its push into artificial intelligence — the buzzy software that has helped propel large tech names, such as Nvidia , to record highs. Apple executives at the event unveiled Apple Intelligence, AI tools that will be available on the Mac, iPhone and iPad. AAPL YTD mountain Apple, year to date Shares rebounded on Tuesday, rallying more than 6% to a new all-time high.

For investors hoping Nvidia 's stock split could translate into a sustainable rally, Goldman Sachs cautioned that the benefits from such an event are usually minimal. Last month, Nvidia announced a 10-for-1 forward stock split in its fiscal first-quarter earnings report. A stock split doesn't change a company's underlying fundamentals or the intrinsic value of its shares. Goldman said companies saw only a 0.2 percentage point increase in retail share of trading activity following stock splits on average. Notably, Nvidia's 2021 stock split led to a 7 percentage point increase in the average share of retail trading.

Some stocks have forward earnings momentum that investors don't want to overlook, according to Liberum. He noted that companies with this momentum outperformed counterparts by 0.2% over the past month. Earnings momentum can be a good sign for a company as it tends to align with growth in revenue, improving margins or cost reductions, or some combination of these factors. Klement noted that earnings per share momentum has a "very chequered past" in the U.S. market. This also comes as the broader market has traded near all-time highs , forcing traders to look harder for individual stocks that have more room to run.

On top of that, the S & P 500 is trading at record levels thanks in large measure to the unrelenting momentum in Nvidia. Hot jobs growth + weaker-than-expected wage growth: The S & P 500 would advance 0.25% to 0.75% in this event, the traders said. In-line jobs growth + strong wage growth: This outcome indicates inflation persists given tight labor market conditions. Disappointing jobs growth + hotter-than-expected wage expansion: JPMorgan traders think this would be the worst outcome for market bulls, with the S & P 500 losing 1.25%-2%. JPMorgan expects the S & P 500 to rise, or fall, as much as 0.25%.

Owning overcrowded trades that are most popular among hedge funds could be risky for individual investors in the event of a herd-like stampede by systematic traders, according to Morgan Stanley, which looked at stocks to avoid. Despite their popularity and performance, none of the megacap tech stocks made the list of overcrowded stocks. That's because their enormous share count makes hedge funds' ownership less significant. Morgan Stanley found that hedge funds were most overweight in consumer discretionary, industrial and health care stocks last quarter, while they were most bearish on technology and consumer staples companies. Janus Henderson , The New York Times , Planet Fitness and Wayfair were also on the list of crowded trades.

Hedge funds also trimmed positions in other megacap stocks benefiting from the AI enthusiasm, including Microsoft , Meta Platforms and Amazon . Apple was the exception in the so-called " Magnificent Seven " group — hedge funds added exposure to the Tim Cook-led iPhone maker, according to Goldman.

Stock-picking hedge funds have become more selective on megacap technology stocks after their drastic rallies, according to VerityData.

There may be a case to bet on technology stocks, even if interest rates remain higher for longer. While conventional wisdom suggests high rates should punish the group, investors still favor the earnings growth offered by megacap tech stocks, according to The ETF Store President Nate Geraci. "Investors are viewing megacap tech as a quality play," he told CNBC's "ETF Edge" on Monday. Even if a U.S. economic slowdown takes hold, Geraci thinks quality tech names can remain in a leadership role. "I think that causes investors to rethink making bets on companies with earnings that are far out into the future."

They're also hoping a slew consumer commentary will give investors insight into the state of the economy.
