This summary was created by AI, based on 91 opinions in the last 12 months.

Apple Inc. (AAPL) is currently experiencing mixed sentiments among experts regarding its long-term prospects, particularly in relation to artificial intelligence (AI) and its traditional hardware business. While some experts appreciate Apple's strong product margins and robust service segment, there is notable concern over its lag in AI development compared to competitors. The company’s strategy of allowing other tech firms to invest heavily in AI, only to step in later, is a point of discussion. Many analysts believe Apple's profitability will remain strong due to its vast user ecosystem and cash reserves, though its valuation is a point of contention, with some suggesting that it’s fully priced amid slow growth. A considerable number of reviews highlight upcoming product launches and their potential to boost shares, although the skepticism surrounding AI adoption continues to loom.

BUY
Recently touched an all time high. You want to own it. Don’t get too cute about where you buy it. Inexpensive valuation in that earnings have grown so quickly that it just keeps getting more attractive. No debt and $100 a share in cash by the end of 2012. Probably his favourite pick of all. iTV will take this stock to might higher levels and without it it still has a long way to run.
WAIT
This one is in line with his model price of $385.50. Even looking out a year, his model price is $425. If you are a trader and if the market got hit with any sort of correction $345 would be an absolute bargain.
TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Oct 1/10. Up 40.01%) Bullish Put Spread. On the premise that the stock could be above $420 by the end of 2012, he will Sell a January/13 Put at $420 but Buy a January/13 Put at $380 in order to hedge the downside. They are talking about doing a dividend next year, which would do wonders for the stock price. The risk would be $40 and the gain $20. He suspects it will be above $420 and both options will expire worthless.
TOP PICK
Growing at about 30%-35% and trading at about 10X earnings. Expect they will have $35 as share in earnings in 2012.
TOP PICK
IPhone is biggest part of business. It’s cheap – 7 x earnings. 14% earnings yield. $100 a share of cash. War chest. $42 a share of free cash flow. Refresh in iPad and iPhone.
TOP PICK
Stock is sitting right on the moving average. Doesn't think you will be able to get it at this price again. They're now accepting the Chinese Yuan for purchase in the China stores.
BUY
He is continuing to buy this one for new clients. It has hit the hit the 200 day moving average, which is when you might want to get into it. Trading around 10-11 times forward earnings, which is cheaper on a valuation basis than it was 12 and 24 months ago.
STRONG BUY
Fundamentally are doing wonderful things. Have no debt. 85 billion in cash. Will probably earn $35 a share. 10 multiple on a stock on a company that's growing their multiples 25-25% conservatively. Have very low share of the market in computer business so lots of upside.
WAIT
Stock has been in very solid, wide swinging uptrend. He has a technical target of $320, which is 4X Book Value, which has been a pretty reliable point where this company has changed direction.
COMMENT
Pretty inexpensive but it has a couple of problems. For the stock to go up just 10%, it needs 36 billion of new investment to go into it.
PAST TOP PICK
(Top Pick Oct 20/10, Up 30.47%) Valuation is still pretty reasonable. Earnings grew 52% year over year.
DON'T BUY
Thinks this is a crowded trade right now and everybody is into this one. Looks cheap on a valuation basis but with the change in management, who knows. Would like to see them pay a dividend and buy back shares. Doesn't seem much more growth in the stock.
BUY
Missed earnings for first time since ’04. Continues to like it. The street overshot what they predicted in terms of estimates. Looks at it as a buying opportunity.
BUY
Incredible stock. Chart shows a sideways motion early this year, followed by a breakout, followed by another sideways move, followed by another breakout. Could probably go up another $10-$20 easily.
HOLD
Seasonal strength is normally from the 2nd week of October right through until January 12th. 200 day moving average is the key for this one. Buy when it gets close to that mark.
