This summary was created by AI, based on 84 opinions in the last 12 months.

Apple Inc. continues to dominate the technology landscape, showcasing robust sales, especially with its recent iPhone launch. Despite the positive momentum, many analysts express concern over its valuation, pointing out that the stock is trading at a high price-to-earnings ratio, often above 30x. There are mixed sentiments regarding its approach to artificial intelligence, with some experts praising Apple's strategy of allowing other companies to invest heavily while it benefits from their advancements. However, there's a prevailing worry that rising component costs and pricing strategies may dampen consumer demand for new products. Finally, while the company has significant cash flow and dividends, the overall outlook remains cautious as investors anticipate clarity on Apple's AI strategy and future product developments.

TOP PICK
Blockbuster earnings. Appreciated after earnings but not to the extent that the earnings were a surprise. Their domination is not being threatened and they have lots of room for growth.
BUY
Trading at 11X earnings. $97 billion in cash. Long-term growth rate is still in the very high teens.
DON'T BUY
Remarkable story. Attributes the boost in sales to Steve Jobs death. He thinks there was a collective moment worldwide where everyone said that they had to go buy an Apple. It was such a huge global story. He won’t chance it here unless it pulls back.
WEAK BUY
Thinks it needs to pause at these levels. Stock might be a little a head of itself. But you pay for perfection.
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.
