No saturation

Apple: Estimates, Target Cut on Weak Forecast of iSales

Savitz, you routinely post non-news worthy news in a bearish manner. Not exclusive to Apple. Maybe you should do a little RESEARCH where you will find Morgan Stanley's analyst has been off on Apple estimates, the last few earnings substantially, more than any other analyst. Obviously, someone who does nothing but spout negative (yourself and Huberty)is easier than using a spreadsheet program to run the numbers yourselves. Also, it is clear you forgot that Apple makes computers-their bread and butter and are growing 30% THIS quarter when the "end of the world is nigh". I suggest you maybe shut up until you have something intelligent to say.

Apple Earnings: What to Expect (And Who Not to Believe)

jtreble:

How is 17% of smart phones and 9% US PC market reaching saturation? Of course Apple will also come out with revolutionary new products.. that's what they do.

A divendend may be a good way to help the investor but wouldn't it make sense to hang on to pleny of cash when it is so tough to get credit? What happens if they pay out all the cash in dividents and don't have $ to buy up smaller companies as opportunities present themselves. Maybe RIMM stock will go to $30 and Apple could buy them and shut them down-taking over that entire market share. Crazy idea for a crazy commenter about saturation.

Always remember saturation is based on the idea that new customers don't come into existence daily which unless the human population slows is not going to be a problem for a long long time.
