  • Danger Zone For This Week: Apple [View article]
    Mr. Trainer,

    Your biggest fault is using ROIC on a company that doesn't have much need for IC. Apple outsources almost all of their production.

    I'm really not sure how you can justify using Invested Capital as a metric for Apple. Common sense dictates otherwise.

    Agreed! Please short Apple and tell all your fund buddies to do the same. Why? Because I want Apple to buy as much stock as they can with their buyback money while I continue adding to my position.

    I love people like David Trainer & Company. They allow me to buy great companies on sale.

    See you at $1,000 per share in less than 5 years, David!

  • Apple: Too Far, Too Fast? [View article]
    Shred - if you're going to compare the iPhone 5 to Samsung's entire lineup, well I think that's a bit unfair.

    You have to keep in mind that Samsung's phones are available with many more carriers than the iPhone.

    Short term trading is like guessing the color of the next car that comes down your street.

    "much worse than it actually is" Really? Then why does everyone I know have the latest iPhone 5 and everyone walking around in NYC...

    I love how you pulled $35 out of thin air. Nice work!

    As a long term shareholder, I'd rather see Apple's share price decline so that the most can be made out of those buybacks.

    For now, I plan on continuing to add to my position at 25 share blocks while Apple sits below $500.

    @pk de cville

    Thank you!

    People never review the actual facts... Just what they care to look at.

    "This way, Apple is able to see what the estimates are and use the buyback to meet it."

    That's a very interesting way to look at it...

    So I had the editors here at Seeking Alpha change "hoard" to "horde" for me and they did that, but then they changed it back to "hoard." Looks like I was correct the first time around.

    See for yourself - http://seekingalpha.co...

    The flawed logic in comparing the iPhone 5 to previous generation iPhone sales is the fact that many more carriers sell the iPhone 4/4S now than when the 4S came out and carriers sold the 3GS/4. You're comparing Apple's to Oranges.

    Right now, there are many carriers selling the iPhone 4/4S & 5 vs a lot fewer that were offering the iPhone 3GS/4 & 4S combo.

    I'd venture to guess that Apple will put a decent dent in their share buyback program at these current levels.
