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.

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.
SELL
(Market Call Minute.) If you believe it can continue to be a leader in fashion electronics, you can buy. He thinks they are priced to perfection.
COMMENT
In the last 3 weeks, has added $28 billion in market cap. That's more than the $17 billion they earned in 06, 07, 08 and 09. Thinks it is expensive. Got stopped out of his position.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Oct 21/09. Up 25.81%.) Still a Buy. One of the cheapest stocks out there.
TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Aug 5/09. Up 52.2%.) Back-to-school season has always been there 2nd biggest quarter after the Christmas quarter. Especially this year with new products such as iPad. Most of the iphone and iPad revenues will hit this quarter.
COMMENT
2nd biggest company in the world after Exxon but there is still room for it to grow. Has trimmed his holdings slightly as he wonders about the valuation.
TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Aug 5/09. Up 52.56%.) Reported strong numbers across all measures. Have $50 a share in cash. Sees $17-$18 a share in earnings next year so you are trading at only 12X earnings.
DON'T BUY
This is a stock that he might be interested in taking a Short position on. He would be more interested in this below $241 before he Shorts. There is resistance at $276.
BUY
One of the few companies that is actually working in this environment. Great company and hard to question anything they do. Haven't had a product stumble over the last few years but there is some question with the iPhone 4 launch. Perfect balance sheet with $40 billion in cash. Trading at 20X next year's earnings.
HOLD
Had a fantastic run over the last couple of years so it may be due for a pause. R&D as a percentage of sales is the lowest you will find in techs. Margins are phenomenal. Fantastic return on capital. Have a huge scope for growth as mind share is 30% but actual market share is only 10%. Would buy a $200 but lighten up at $300.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
Great company with a very diversified product mix. iPad is doing well and iPhone is expected to do very well. 18%-20% long-term earnings growth estimates. Would prefer at $250.
TOP PICK
Expect they will earn $17 a share next year and have $40 a share in cash so is trading at 13X earnings. Selling far more iPads than analysts expected. Half of their revenue this year will come from products that didn't exist 4 years ago.
