Apple, Inc. (AAPL)

This is my opinion of Apple Products as a business owner:

My business runs on a Mac tower, MacBooks and the iPhone. The best thing one can do for a business or for personal use, is go visit the nearest Apple Store.

I plan on owning Apple stock for decades. Better than any mutual fund, ETF or IRA. Growth potential is unlimited for two simple reasons:

1. Rock solid, ass kicking products and apps. Hardware powerful, versatile and sleek, and user friendly, convenient and reliable software. Not to mention cutting edge innovation.
2. Market penetration. Apple products and branding have world-wide appeal, and market share grows exponentially (Europe, Asia, the Americas).

Every parent should purchase Apple products for their children, made by the innovators of future technology. Then put some Apple shares in the holiday stocking every year.

Overall Apple has been outperforming the market for most of the last couple years. The iphone and ipods are the bread and butter of their current sucess which is leading to more interest in their computers as well. I expect them to continue their current tread for some time to come.

Apple has the iphone and itunes markets locked up, for now. They'll continue to boost their bottom line on ancillary biz, outside the computer world. My concern is that competitors are poised to carve out a large chunk of the iphone biz, even if Verizon manages to pull the exclusivity away from AT&T. Give 'em a good year to keep going strong before the shine comes off the apple.

Apple is going to get more compition on some of its devices. but it will still fare very well just lower for some time. thats so i will be able to get a bigger bite out of the apple.

took some fool "profits", back in...

Apple is actually slowly capturing more of the personal computer market.

Why did I end this pick?

Apple makes great products. With Jobs on board, they will always make innovating products on the road, and succeed. Its price may not be fair to its current earnings, but behold.. their earnings in the future will undermine the thought of buying this stock at a "high" price.

I bought quite a lot of AAPL today. I'm going to dump my PC and buy a Mac. Earlier this year I bought an HP lapbook that came with Vista, including a permanent "recovery partition" with - guess what - Vista. I dare you to try to upgrade to Windows 7 in that situation. Hello, Mac Book, here I come.

great company, great products and innovations; still, way overpriced for its sector.

Cuz it will, roll the bones.

don't get me wrong, they have strong sales, good products, and no debt. You would be a fool to get in at this price tho

They just keep inovating.

eps increasing. buying on the dip.

Way overbought, due for a significant short term drop.

A recent pull back in price, but this company is still growing and revenue related to China has not impacted their profits yet.

Apple financial fundamentals are rock steady, its products are very well designed and customers love them, the company continues to innovate strongly, revenues continue to grow despite economic downturn and announcement of Nokia Patent suit therefore provides a good buying opportunity

APPLE IS AWESOME

I have tracked Apple for 30 years. I used to advise people to buy at $20 and sell at $40 that used to be a good range back in the early days. Obviously no longer true. The big question now is will there be a split. They do not seem to be in fashion these days!
