This summary was created by AI, based on 92 opinions in the last 12 months.

Apple Inc. (AAPL) is currently at a crossroads with its approach to artificial intelligence (AI) and product development. Many experts express mixed feelings about Apple's delayed entry into the AI arena, suggesting that the company has strategically chosen to avoid the high spending seen with competitors. Some analysts believe this cautious approach has preserved capital for more focused innovations in hardware and services that capitalize on its vast user base. While there is optimism regarding upcoming product launches, there are concerns about slow growth rates and a high valuation compared to revenue growth. Overall, many experts see a bright future for Apple in the medium to long term, particularly with a strong balance sheet and cash flow, despite some skepticism about its current valuation and AI strategy.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Feb 10/10. Up 75.1%.) Reporting earnings on Jan 18 and expecting them to be outstanding. Trading at only about 15X next year’s earnings. Still a Buy.
SELL ON STRENGTH
Worth more than any other company in the world. Will continue to do well this year and into next year. Will see very stiff competition from the Android. At some point prices will come down but he is not worried.
BUY
In a nice upward trend and seems to be holding quite steady. There’s still a lot of room for them to grow.
BUY
Has a tremendous amount of potential. Expecting it will have earnings of $22 in 2011.
COMMENT
As a value investor and between RIM (RIM-T) and Apple (AAPL-Q) her preference is Rim. Apple has done incredibly well but trades at a much higher multiple. Positive on the smart phone market overall.
BUY
Share price has risen quickly but earnings have grown just as fast if not faster. Wonderful opportunities into the future.
DON'T BUY
Great company with great products but a great valuation. It is difficult to earn enough money to justify that evaluation consistently. Has trouble pulling the buy trigger. Companies that don't pay dividends frustrates him.
HOLD
Has been a little weaker recently. Surprised him. Some consolidation at the 250 level and then the break out. He would look for it to hang around in this area. Apple does well at this time – kids gifts, etc. Peak in January because of the consumer electronics show. Formed a support line and look for it to come down. Look to take profits in the new year.
TOP PICK
Thinks it’s a better value at $300 than when he bought it at $65, after which they have 7x the earnings and price is up only 5x. Mac is very strong, couldn’t supply enough iPhones, the iPad did well. They are doing very well. Revenue is up year over year by 87%. This is a bigger pie story. Technology is moving at such a rate that anything that provides more information and more mobility is growing at a much faster rate than the economy.
BUY
Earnings today brought stock down 5% after the bell. It is trading at less than 20 times earnings with a tremendous growth rate. It’s possible for it to go to $400 if tech stock multiples expand.
TOP PICK
Best brand name globally. Have $50 in cash per share. Will deliver 20%-25% earnings growth next year. Expects it will go to $350-$400.
BUY
Suggests a stop loss if it continues to run.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Oct 21/09. Up 47%.) Still a very cheap stock. Reporting earnings Monday and he expects them to blow the numbers away. Short-term target of $325.
COMMENT
Will cannibalize the PC market with the iPAD, especially the low-end notebook market. Not a value stock so he is not interested.
COMMENT
Have had great success in innovating and coming up with new leading edge products. $26 a share net cash on the balance sheet and trades at about 17X earnings. The time to buy this stock would be on a pull back in the market.
