Apple, Microsoft, Google: Cash vs. Cash

Or they might be waiting for an opportunity instead of spraying money cannons in every direction like MSFT.

Should Apple Consider Buying Yahoo!?

Yahoo was never a search engine. It was a topical directory. Yahoo's big mistake was transforming itself into a search engine, even though their system won them the search wars before Google ever existed. I still prefer searching that way but the directory is buried on the front page and unless you know where to look no one will ever use it. Searching for things on Google gives you the same problems that all of the old search engine's gave you. You get all kinds of random stuff that has nothing to do with what you wanted.

My suggestion to Yahoo.....go back to the system that made you a success, while it will never bring you back to the glory days of old it will at least stop the bleeding.

The Google Phone: It's Not Just About Google

I don't see the phone having much of an impact.

Apple is a better long term bet than Google. Yes the stock is a sinking stone, but it's still going back above $200 eventually.

Apple Credit Spreads: Targeting 500% Return

I hate this market. It's insane.

Replacing AIG in the Dow: Google? Cisco? Apple?

Again same problem with Apple: uncertainty. No one knows just how bad Q4 and Q1 will be. So it's hard to put a concrete value on Apple at this point.

We need some hard math to shed some light on the subject.

Why It's Time to Buy Google, Apple

Who cares about Apple? The price of Apple won't be determined by looking an an Apple chart. It will be determined by the answer to the question: How much worse can it get?

That's all that matters. The people talking about charts have lost their minds.

Apple Investors: Fasten Your Seatbelts, Put On Helmets

All the things you take for granted with Apple are in danger. At that point $100 per share is even possible. Do I think the stock will get hammered that bad? No, but I'm not in AAPL and won't touch it till $140 and it appears more likely to go there by the day.

The government has blown it's load. The market is going to go where it's going now unhindered by government intervention. It appears the direction is south. You can get mad or you can get real and sell.

Just look at it as an opportunity to buy at lower prices. Apple is going to be at $300, it's just a matter of how long. Stop being afraid to miss out on it when it runs up. That's why people get so mad at shorts, their fear of losing out on gains keeps them married to a stock.

Apple is not a good stock right now. It's just a fact.

The Wireless Application Marketplace: Apple, Google, Microsoft and RIMM

Will be interesting to see what happens during the exclusivity period with t-mobile.

Apple & Google: A Detailed Comparison

Let it go...just let it go...the dead horse has been beaten.

Google is well entrenched as the dominant advertising company in the world.

Apple has better growth potential with their very small piece of the pc market.

Yes there's more risk in Apple but there's also more growth potential. All the analysts that have price targets at like $700 and higher for Google use these insane projections. To see Apple at $300 you need 10% growth in Ipod sales, continued success in mobile computing, and continued market share growth in the pc market. That is not a stretch at all.

Should Apple Be Worth More Than Google?

It's simple: Apple has a lot more room to grow when you look at market share on the Mac side. There's just more headroom. When you look at all of the things Apple does well, they all drive more and more consumers into the arms of the Mac, the so-called halo effect is real.

Now lets look at the Iphone vs the Blackberry. Sure some people will buy one or the other, but the fact is, they are also driving each other's sales. The hype surrounding both platforms is bringing more and more people into the smartphone market.

Google simply doesn't have as many exciting new revenue streams. Android and some of Google's other projects are totally unknown. Who knows what will happen with Android? Apple has 3 hugely successful businesses, each one driving the others, and I have a feeling that Apple will end up with another big seller, this time something in the living room.

The Four Horsemen Ride Again: GOOG, AAPL, AMZN, RIMM

These companies are going to find explosive growth from a deluge of foreign money. Yes, these companies all face challenges in 2008 and beyond, but countries around the world are awakening to the fact that they can buy great American technology at prices that are suddenly affordable.

I would compare these stocks to standing on a conveyor belt, even if you're going backwards you have to work pretty hard to actually go backwards.
