SELL
Everything that has driven it recently has been the iPod. A wonderful product but not a wonderful stock at this point. The recording on iPod sales spilling over into Mac sales and this is not happening to the extent that they had hoped for. Starting to see a lot more competition.
DON'T BUY
From a valuation perspective, there is a lot of good news implied in the stock based on new products coming out that they have to deliver on. Highly valued at this time.
TOP PICK
Feels the market is focusing on them for their iPods and great computers. Feels their longer term theme is to become the digital hub of the home. Have some Intel based computers that are going to come in January/February which will present more significant upside. Also likes their iTunes software that they put out is now selling video content.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Aug 25/05. Up 22%.) This story has momentum.
TOP PICK
Watched some growth stocks starting to perform well and this one immediately broke out to new highs. The leader in the growth part of the market. Have new products to be launched over the next 12 months.
DON'T BUY
On the valuation side, it looks extremely rich, priced to perfection. Trades in the range of 60 X earnings. Concensus is around $0.24/$0.25 today. Analysts have been upping their numbers, but even at $1 it's 40 X.
DON'T BUY
Earnings came in better than expected but the stock sold off on the news. That's a very negative thing to happen, not just for the stock, but all technology stocks on NASDAQ. It's signalling that something is not right.
BUY
The key is Apple software and the functionality driving it. Feels there is upside in market share of PC's and laptops. They have roughly 1% and feels it can be driven higher.
DON'T BUY
Trades at close to 60 X earnings which is very expensive for an electronics company. Really driven by the i-pod which is the taste of the day.
DON'T BUY
The weakness in the NASDAQ and the weakness in the sector has pulled it back. Although the fundamentals are very good, there is a risk of a technical correction at this time.
PAST TOP PICK
Ipod is an amazing addition, which causes a halo effect on the company. Still holding
DON'T BUY
Success of Ipod had shown great growths. Risks may be that Ipod sales slow due to fashion.
TOP PICK
Has just hit the sweet spot. The iPod has absolutely taken over. Has got mileage.
DON'T BUY
History of free cash flow and return on equity is what tells you if a stock is good to own. Microsoft (MSFT-Q) outperforms Apple both in stock and underlying value. After their success with the iPod their revenue level is back to roughly where it was 10 years ago. Also, their net income is lower than where it was 10 years ago.
BUY
A poster child for a great business. Continued expectations from an earnings standpoint which the company keeps beating handily. There's been an acceleration in the growth rate from both revenue and earnings.
