  • Why Apple Is Worth $80 [View article]
    aapl EPS=6.29$ on the year

    If u put cash in bank now the interest rate is 0%
    6.29$/0 = $$$$

    If you live in Canada u can expect 0.5%
    6.29$/0.005 = 1258$

    If u borrow money on your home one year ~2.0%
    6.29$/0.02=314$

    if u evaluate at 4% = 157$
    8%= 80$

    Too bad, I prefer 60% (if you charge that when you borrow money, you gonna be throw in jail.) 6.29/0.6 = 10.50$ That's the real value of Apple. Less than the cash Apple have. Better for me to sell all my aapl stock, before all of u wake up.

    Be positive, write an paper on what's good to buy instead what's wrong.

    If I send an article to Seeking alpha, will I be pay? Did this guy has been pay? Seem anybody can say anything and have his name printed here. I want a part of the cake too.

    Why did he choose aapl? Just because this company is following by small investor. "Little investor run, u gonna lose all ur money if u stay in aapl."

    The only thing to say : aapl stock climb with a decrease of volume . So only smalls investors sell, And Big buy all the stock.

    Good try Kai Petainen u got ur ten minutes of glory

  • Apple Is Still a Great Investment, Right? Not for Value Investors [View article]
    2 years ago I was in RIM: It was a good investement. But I quit for several reasons. Head always focus to buy an hockey team, Head sold lot of shares, Company react at the Iphone...

    I switched to Apple because (One or 2 campany in the portfolio : Graham), Jobs hasn't pay (Dividend pay : Buffet). Iphone has is own OS. (Iphone is almost extraterestrial) Iphone was following (still following) the same pattern than the Ipod. Market share of Mac was always up. Apple's product share is only 2 to 4% so lot of room to grow. Apple always (~10 years) post growing earning to previous quarter year ago(Buffet). Apple has niche products. Apple make amazing products. Apple had 24 billion dollars (now ~34) in cash and no debth. Apple is not only a phone company, but also computer and entertainement (not a one trick pony).

    Of course Buffet said, don't pay to much for a company. But he says also don't invest in a company that you don't understand...

    Why not invest in Google (Android) cause is just an OS (very similar to MSFT) , Google doesn't make direct money. Advertise on the net is a risky business.

    Nokia? They just react to Iphone like RIM.

    Easy talk. Tv manager. Apple don't worth anything for value investor. Ok. Name your 5 first choice to make good investment.

    Nah. Your speech is easy. If you are wrong, in 2 weeks folks gonna forget it and you. And if you right in 6 months, you gonna advertise that you are a great analyst.

    Be brave and tell us where invest now. After we will judge you on your courage and you wisdom.

    "Think of 35 analysts as one full classroom of elite students..."

    Are you serious? What kind of people do you think they throw us in the biggest recession since 1930? What kind of people were CEO of GM? The dumbest of Harvard?

    How do you think Grahaam made is money with IBM?

    Keep going... This way when people wake up on Apple, the stock gonna explode : lol

  • Feet to the Fire: How Analysts Missed on Apple iPhone Shipments [View article]
    Yesterday, i was a bit surprise: after astronomical result of Apple the stock goes up. Usually any news lower the stock. Wait couple of days and the stock will go down. Almost all "analysts" gonna find a reason good or wrong (especially wrong) to disqualified the company. I can write one: Munster decrease his target, so Apple is overestimated... bla bla bla.

    For those who read Graham :~ " I bought IBM, everybody said its a bad company, the stock was going down to downer, but i kept buying. I wasn't sure but IBM seem a good company to me" Couple of month later, he made more money than the previous 20 Years l

    Wait and see.

  • How the iPhone and Poor Management Contribute to Apple's Downfall [View article]
    Your explanation just shows how much Apple care about investor. When you invest in Apple, you know you have for your money. Just mention : around 25$ cash by share or 30% of the value, add the reported revenue it's totally crazy. Is there more secure company ? If market or street prefer company like Nortel with big fantasist revenue lets them go for it.

  • Should Apple Consider Buying Yahoo!? [View article]
    Yeah Skype could be a pretty good idea. Apple is now in the market phone .
    Skype and Apple can make a good synergy. this way a new iphone/touch only wifi (no edge no 3G) could produce big money.

    About yahoo. Google made Android to be less dependend of computer market. The future of technology is mobility. Yahoo isn't the dominant and this sector don't lead anymore. So why buy Yahoo? Microsoft was wrong in their project of buying Yahoo. (And Yahoo was wrong to avoid this buy.) Why Apple has to make the same mistake of Microsoft?

    Apple could deliver some similar products of Yahoo via Itunes. No need to buy Yahoo.

    Right Freerange

    Better for Apple to make more phone models, instead this dramatic cut of price.

    1 - Why the old iphone edge diseapear? The old iphone has still a value on the used market.
    2 -I'm still waiting for a model for a mix wifiphone and ipodtouch.
    3 - N a high cost iphonemodel with 2 camera high rez n more memory and high rez screen, TV and FM tuner

  • Apple Valuations: Still at Risk [View article]
    More a company make money more it's risky. Imagine Berkshire Hataway...

    Buy Rimm : sales slowdown, less money, copy Apple, single product, not innovative anymore. This is a smart buy.

  • How Low Will Apple Go? [View article]
    Usually Zach you make good text. But this time even you expose a good strategy of buying, i don't find it a good idea in this particular case. If you found Apple is now incredibly attractive, why risk lost Apple share if market decide to buy it massively?

  • Awaiting Apple Earnings and Guidance [View article]
    Apple don't have to buyback stock. In the previous drop, the price share drop at 100.00 $. Between 120$ and 100$ lot of people were asking : "please Apple buy your own stock". If Apple did that, the market right now shows that will be a bad investment because, share is under the previous low. The investor should evaluate Apple like that : EPS/Interest rate + cash/share = 5.21$/1.5%+24$= 371$

    The Apple philosophy is using cash to protect them from bad economy, bad decision and buy good company at cheap price. If Apple buy is own stock, they expose them to financial crisis and other disastear.

    i think Apple should evaluate to buyback at 25$ a share. This way Apple doesn't expose themself to other mercy.

    Nothing stop investor to buy this very attractive stock. If you think Apple should make a good move to buyback their share what about you buy some?

  • Apple's "Anti-Competitive" iPhone App Store Draws Developer's Ire [View article]
    I don't understand, why Apple don't let compete on Appstore. They make 30% anyway. If the new prog is better, it take place on the Apple one. If is as good as Apple one, then user can choose wich he prefers. Sometimes user gonna buy both prog and Apple make more money.
