Apple, Inc. (AAPL)

Downthumb. Growth rate will slow. Currently at 33%5 year average sales growth. Great balance sheet. High price to cash flow. Gross margins 37%. Mania stock. Continued succession concerns. Very small short base.

expansion and diversification

Decline in a hardware quality, plus the new duality of the OS can take a shine of the brand name

This company makes quality products that are currently in top demand. Now that they are Windows capable their iMac and MacBook offerings are more desirable than ever, plus their iLife and iWork offerings pretty much cover 90% of the needs of the average home computer owner without all the headaches and security problems the Windows platform brings with it. Greater acceptance of the Mac products hand in hand with continued dominance of the iPod will drive Apple computers for the next 5 years.

Return of Jobs from leave of absense. Cash Horde to ignore recession and keep innovating. Iphone 3.0 software relesae soon.

apple has been on the upside since years and

will keep going

Continues to develop outstanding consumer products to capitalize on the personal technology available. Digital download business is exploding. Now they are position to go after high-end phone market.

Apple has all burners going across product lines. It's everybody's favorite, even Microsoft users. With Jobs back and with change in accounting rules going into place, stock is on fire and will continue to burn as PE gets lower.

XMAS season will see stock eclipse $200 and move 20% higher next year (2010).

Apple's got the right ingredients (Steve Jobs, industrial design) to continually innovate and enter new markets. Just about every tech savvy friend I know wants an Intel Mac, so I expect their computer market share to grow. You can now have one machine that runs Mac OS, Windows, Unix, and more. It's also being priced more and more competitively with PCs. 2007 should also see the release of products that connect multimedia content with the living room, and communications devices. Although there are competitors, I think Apple has what it takes to emerge as a leader.

Apple is huge! Wallstreet is reacting to a little negative news which is creating a buying opportunity for the rest of us. Hang on, AAPL is going to $120!

will out perform in the coming months.very sold foudation the company have.

mac is still "thinking different" and now they're doing that different thinking in your living room too. plus, the kids love'em!!

Love them or hate them AAPL is a winner. They dominate the portable music industry with over 70% belonging to i-pod lovers. Their computer business is growing in what is considered a shrinking market. How? By taking market share! I think there is another market they entered that they are doing okay in, yea right. The i-phone will dominate the phone industry. Forget it has an i-pod attached to it, the i-phone is definitly the most consumer friendly phone/pda/camera and whatever else it is ,that has hit the market. When they become unleashed from AT&T the sky is the limit. Being "cool" does not hurt either.

I just wish I had the money right now to buy some!

Younger buyers perfer the Mac. We won't even get into the iPod. AAPL to 100

Do you think iPod was a success? You ain't seen nothing yet. Apple is emerging as one of the major giants of the digital age. I wouldnt be surprise is it eventually merges with Disney ( Jobs is DIS's biggest shareholder) to become a bigger force than Sony. Apple was written off in the PC business, but it has the highest margins, best computers and now Windows diehards are switching in droves thanks to an Intel chip and superior OS. Now they are selling movies and have dipped their toes into video games. I actually bot the stock much cheaper than it is selling for today.
