    77% of growth funds studied in Bernstein's Dec. analysis of 800 mutual funds owned shares of Apple (AAPL -3.6%), down from 82% in a Dec. 2011 review. Moreover, their average position relative to Apple's Russell 1000 weight had fallen markedly. However, Apple's penetration of value funds rose to 40% from 29% over this time, though its average weight remains only 0.4x that of its S&P 500 weight. Bernstein's conclusion: Apple needs to reel in more value investors by hiking its dividend - the current yield is 2.1%. (order cut reports: I, II) (previous)

    Eventually, the point is reached where there's no one left to buy.

    Well that has to be a long way off with a company that has less than 1 billion shares. If you look, most large companies that are a fraction of Apples market cap have billions of shares outstanding. This is a non argument!

    " No one left to buy". Why isn't this an issue with every other company?

    I buy every day. The lower the price, the better the deal.
    2.1% is better than my money earns in the bank, and there's no upside possibility in the bank.

    The more it falls, the better the deal.

    And dividends will increase percentage wise.
