This summary was created by AI, based on 90 opinions in the last 12 months.

Apple Inc. (AAPL) continues to be a dominant player in the technology market, with strong brand loyalty and a massive ecosystem of services driving its revenue growth. While the company is experiencing single-digit growth rates, its strategic approach of allowing other firms to lead in innovation, especially in AI, suggests a potential for future gains once Apple fully capitalizes on these advancements. Analysts remain divided on the stock's valuation, with many pointing to high price-to-earnings multiples. Despite some concerns about disappointing performance in AI and hardware innovation, the company is recognized for its solid cash flow generation and strong balance sheet, which positions it well for future opportunities. Overall, the sentiment is cautiously optimistic, with many experts recommending to hold or gradually buy into the stock, as significant upside may still exist in the long term.

TOP PICK
Cheap now as in the past 3 years they have owned it. They have $37 of cash on the balance sheet. You have to be looking at the non-gaap earnings. The $1.82 they reported would have been $3.14 on a regular accounting basis. The new tablet computer is a drive fro growth but the MAC has grown only 9% and there’s lots of room there. Great new products on the MAC side. One hidden gem is the Apple iStore.
COMMENT
Has done very well. Likes it longer-term. Company historically has always given very conservative guidance. At the present price it will have to post a very strong quarter with some pretty positive guidance going forward. IPhones and PC sales have been doing very well but the market is looking for new products. A lot of cash on the balance sheet.
SHORT
Shorting Apple (AAPL-Q) and Long on Rim (RIM-T)? Agrees going Long on Rim and Shorting Apple would be a pretty good hedge. Rim trades at about 14X forward earnings and Apple trades at close to 26X-27X.
BUY
Shudders at valuation, but likes where these guys are positioned in the smart phone market. These are the kind of stories that you buy and put away for 5 years.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick June 19/09. Up 33%.) 21 million iPhones since they first introduced them in 2007. Everyone is looking forward to the Tablet. Trading at about 32X forward earnings but the growth is phenomenal. He trades in and out of this one.
BUY
Rim (RIM-T) or Apple (AAPL-Q) for a 3 year period? A tough call because both companies have their own merits. Apple seems to be doing very well in anything that appeals to consumer tastes. You could buy both. Both will win because of the trend towards flat phones and will be successful in their own ways. If he had to pick one, it would be Rim because it is trading at about 5 multiple points behind.
TOP PICK
Cheapest stock in his portfolio right now. He can make an argument that it is trading at 12 to 13 times earnings next year based on the $30 a share in cash and their understated earnings. Continually coming up with innovative products.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick June 19/09. Up 16.52%.) Sold 5.2 million iPhone's in the last quarter. Estimates for the next quarter are going sky high. Buy on weakness, possibly $150.
BUY
Likes the stock short and long term. Beat estimates on both earnings and revenues. Laptop and notebook sales were better than expected and sees this continuing.
COMMENT
Steve Jobs is back and apparently healthy is a huge plus. Came out with an Apple for $100 will put a lot of apples in people's pockets. Most interesting and creative of all the high-tech companies. He is not buying because of his caution about the US$.
DON'T BUY
IPhone has been an incredible success and ahead of analysts expectations. It has become an expensive stock and is a little ahead of itself in valuations. Prefers Research in Motion (RIM-T).
BUY ON WEAKNESS
Fantastic innovators. Great product line. IPhone still has some growth potential. Could be some pitfalls from a volatility standpoint if the economy does not pick up. A lot of things have to go right. He would look for it a little bit cheaper.
TOP PICK
Has traded in and out of this stock in the last 6 months or so. Dominant iPod brand. IPhone is gaining a lot of market share. A company full of creative and smart people.
HOLD
In very good shape. Smart phone market is going to continue to grow and will continue to be dominated by Research in Motion (RIM-T) and Apple (AAPL-Q). Both are still trading at pretty reasonable multiples.
HOLD
If it pulled back to $122 he would be a heavy buyer of this. Thinks this company will remain a leader as far as technology goes.
