Apple, Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL)

20 percent upside until after the launch of the next gen iPhone.

I'm based in Asia, and here the iPad 3 is huge - people are placing orders everywhere. Of course the pipeline of new products post-Jobs is unclear, but for now I'll ride the wave up.

If a dividend is paid, look for billions of dollars from high yielding funds to buy millions of shares of Apple.

smokin!

Its Apple!!!

total market domination...

They seem to have a better grasp on how to get consumers to "emotionally" hook to their products. Adding value for the same price rather than adding to price to add value is a big one. The growth rate has been phenomenal giving some pause for concern, but also reflecting the results of openess, transparency, taking responsibility for actions, including negative ones AND participating in fixing them. Safety, on all scales is a focus, from the user to the company, to the wider universe, Plus, their products are well-protected, have far fewer viruses, trojans and other unwelcome visitors. I decided to try a PC Laptop to test out my beliefs and found that I had been making wise choices until I "saved" money with a PC that consistently came down with viruses, a company that gave inadequate tech support, and eventually caused me to return to Apple. The computer haardware is exceptional, the software easy to understand--perhaps created by humans??) and the tech support personnel attentive, interested, patient, and helpful.

still think will go higher, im on wozs page of $1000

Apple is doing everything right.

aapl

Read the Steve Jobs biography. You will then understand how well Apple is positioned to continue to make incredible products that lead the marketplace. Their plans will succeed because they design products to be the very best in the world and this is what customers want to buy. They also have a reputation and a worldwide following that ensures their success for decades to come.

China Mobile [CHL] has 655M subscribers. Yes 2x the United State's population. 120M are high-end subscribers. AAPL has 10M of them through black-market channels. An official deal is in the works. AAPL has already signed CHA and CHU, both of which are bigger than AT&T.

I don't see Apple coming up with anything else outstanding. Sure, they can rehash their iPhone and iPad series, but it's seen that they're losing their once-great market hold to the superior Android platform. Their computers are overpriced and their OS is ineffective compared to Windows or Linux and lacks utility for any business needs. I think their iPad will quickly be outclassed by new devices such as Android tablets and hybrids like the Kindle Fire. Their price is outrageous and I don't see it going much higher. Heck, as someone who has used their products with disdain, I actively hope it goes down. Google has earned their price point, Apple just has a rabid fanbase which will dwindle as their innovations slow down and are outshone by other companies.

Products are viewed as superior

Overvalued - any sign of dissapointment or a product that doesn't live up to expectations - in Technology it's too easy for another company to rise to power, even with Apple's push into tablets, I think other companies (android and window-based tablets) will reap the benefit of Apple's groundwork - but it may take a few years before we see the change.

Apple is the King of the Cloud which allows EVERYONE to access all their information, whether they are just individuals or businesses! It expands your reach, your access to information, contacts. There is Nothing you Can't do with Apple!

They wont be able to keep their margins at 4-5 times their competitors...

impressive!

The tech market that everyone seems to want.
