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.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick June 16/10. Up 30.15%.) Better value today then it was in 2006. Still likes.
COMMENT

10 Calls strike 300 for July for $71 and I’m losing. What should I do? Presume you were long Apple and Short the Calls and kept getting called out and then reversed your direction. Should continue what you were doing initially. He just wrote Apple this month and gets 2% a month just to write Calls at the money. Do not Buy options, always be a seller.

BUY
A long term favourite. Continues to hit on all cylinders. Steve Jobs's health is a concern, but maybe things he is stubborn on can get done now and could be a good thing. Weakness is coming from NASDAQ re-weighting that happened earlier this month. A great entry point.
DON'T BUY
75% or more of its products didn’t exist 5 years ago. It’s a company that constantly has to reinvent itself. Concerned about Steve Job’s health. Has had a good run but there are others in the technology sector to make money on.
WAIT
Much loved company but doesn’t disappoint. All the tech stocks are trading at cheap valuations. One of the fastest growing and most cash rich companies in the world. They have to do something with that cash. People will get fed up with the share price dragging along. He is waiting for a big price drop to get in.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
On her watch list but would like to buy it a little lower down, perhaps 5% on a pull back. Nice play on the smart phone market. Their phones are doing very well. Shipments have been very strong and this is their highest margin business. Steve Jobs is an important component of the company and there are concerns on his health.
BUY
Not an expensive stock. When you look at the company’s metrics, they’ll probably earn around $23 this year and $29 next. Have $65 a share in cash. Taking the cash off the share price, it is trading at only about 12X earnings.
HOLD
Very different market from Research In Motion (RIM-T). This is more consumer oriented. Nothing wrong with holding shares of each as they are 2 very separate markets.
COMMENT
Thinks it got nailed because it got to big for the NASDAQ, so they’re repositioning the index and Microsoft (MSFT-Q) and Cisco (CSCO-Q) have been the beneficiaries. Fundamentals of the stock have not changed. Not a sector for the faint of heart but this one has a lot of value and could have $90 a share in cash by ear end.
TOP PICK
Growing 30%-35% annually and trading at 14-15 times earnings. If you strip out the cash, it trades at about 12X earnings. Growth will continue with a lot of new products coming out.
PAST TOP PICK
(Top Pick Mar 22/10, Up 55.16%) and short Power Shares QQQ Down 20.48%. Apple had a lot of catalysts and would have superior earnings growth and outperform the NASDAQ. He shorted the tech market. He edged out the market and just profited on the earnings.
DON'T BUY
Have the ability to innovate and develop a product that effectively created its own market. A little too rich at this time.
DON'T BUY
Model price is $260. Down 22% from where it is now. If you are a growth manager, maybe.
HOLD
Look at the longer term – it is an upward trend. This is one of the strongest stocks in the tech sector. Seasonality is not there this time of year. This company keeps coming up with new products/services. He would make an exception and you should continue to hold it. Stick with the medium term indicators, which say to hold. It’s going to take some time to break through the overhead resistance.
TOP PICK
Still seeing nice valuation – still compelling. 14x earnings on a forward basis. Long-term growth forecast of over 20% on an annualized basis. PE is where it was 2 years ago. One of the risks is supply chain interruption from Japan. Historically these things are very temporary.
