Buy, Sell or Hold: Research in Motion Poised to Snag More Market Share

The item that trips up most analysts when comparing AAPL to RIMM, including Mr. Marquez here, is AAPL's whopping cash position. Three months ago, AAPL now had about $27/share in cash; that is now well above $28. When buying a share of AAPL, one is buying that $28 in cash, compared to about $3 when buying a share of RIMM. Want to compare the two companies' P/Es and PEG Ratios? Back out the cash per share from each share price first, since the remainder is what one is truly paying for the future business.
