Mac Pricing: Value Is in the Eye of the Buyer

People measure quality in their own unique way. mac users are willing to pay more for what they perceive as a quality computing experience. Considering that many of us spend hours at a computer each day, how much more does it really cost us to use a mac rather than a pc? I say relatively little.

The Bull Run Begins This Week

Ideology might work in politics but it doesn't work in markets. For most of my life China was touted as the dread Communist enemy. Now they are our #1 trading partner and the largest owner of our debt. And still run by the communist party. Judge Bush by what he did and didn't accomplish and don't pre-judge Obama by what you do or do not expect. It might just get in your way when making sound investment decisions.

The markets perception of value relative to a stocks price is not the same thing as the underlying worth of any particular company. When these two are out of sync there is opportunity in both directions. Since AAPL does not chose to share their cash hoard with shareholders there is no disincentive to trading. Why are so many arguing with the market. If you are holding or buying for the long term quit complaining, or add to your positions when you think the crowd has it wrong.

If AAPL would part with some decent dividends, they have the cash, it would make the wait a little sweeter.

Apple Investors: Fasten Your Seatbelts, Put On Helmets

AAPL is one of those stocks like V where owners can not accept any commentary that does not confirm their dreamy idea that it will only go up in value. It is an object lesson to investors not to "fall in love". Check the charts guys, no stock is an unending stairway to the stars. Investing is not a faith based activity. And Seeking Alpha is not so influential that someone with a contrary point of view will move the market. Sure you are angry and disappointed that "your precious" is losing value. Don't take it out on the folks describing the story.

Apple: Great Company with Lofty Valuation - Due for Pullback

To all the responders who accuse the author of writing an article to improve his short position: as if an article in Seeking Alpha could move a stock. At least he has his money on the line when he makes a call.

Analyst Buy and Sell Ratings for Stocks and Sectors

These charts do not tell us when the analysts took their positions. Too often the upgrade/downgrade see-saw is just telling us what we already know and the market has already reflected.

Maybe FRO is too easy for the analysts to understand. Make a lot of money and send it to the shareholders. Why is it always so scary to investors when the yield is high? Isn't that the ultimate idea?

Wall Street Breakfast: Must-Know News

Congratulation on a discussion that goes nowhere. Jersey, it will do us all a favor if you can back up your statements with some links to this "Reasonable Profits Board" for example. This is the first I've heard about it. I can name a number of companies that I have been expecting reasonable profits from for years and have only been disappointed.
