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.

COMMENT
He is a value investor and it is hard to view this one as a value stock. His question is, what is Apple without Steve Jobs. Is it still a great company because it has great products and great people or is Steve Jobs the genius behind this? If he is no longer there permanently, does it rest on its laurels for a while and then start to fade away? Great unknown. Too much uncertainty.
PAST TOP PICK
(Top Pick Feb 10/10, Up 73%) Continues to like it. Good entry point based on rumours. It would be very unusual for them to experience a product release delay. It’s the greatest growth company out there.
TOP PICK
Buy July $355 calls. This is a bet that the trend in Apple will continue. Premiums on options for this stock are not terribly expensive (don’t pay more than $25). If the stock hits $400, which he thinks it will, you’ll double you money. If the stock drops, the most you can lose is the cost of the Call.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Feb 17/10. Up 70.13%.) In spite of Steve Jobs illness, they have very capable people and will continue to move ahead. Trading at a very attractive multiple. Could see the stock tripling in 5 years.
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.
