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.

DON'T BUY
Too highly valued for him at 22X PE and 19X forward earnings. Would prefer at 15X or less.
COMMENT
This is had a big run. If you are bullish on this company, Calls are not overly expensive so it is not a bad trade. If you own the stock, you could write Covered Calls and Sell Puts if you want to own more shares.
PAST TOP PICK
Wrote covered call (Top Pick May 4/10, Up 1.72% plus option premium)
DON'T BUY
Great story but one of the problems he has is that it is a highly valued stock, which everybody loves and analysts keep pushing up earnings estimates. You are paying a very high multiple for basically an electronics company. Priced for perfection. Pricing may come down on their products.
STRONG BUY
Wonderful company and a great stock. If you look at the earnings growth progression, they continually beat estimates and are coming out with new products. Almost $40 a share in cash and almost no debt.
TOP PICK
Everything is working. iPhone, iTablet, iPod and their computer market share is increasing. This is the bellwether stock in the market.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
(Market Call Minute.) Great growth name. May be at its near-term high so would be careful buying at these levels. Try to buy at $30-$40 cheaper.
BUY
Thinks they will earn $14 a share. A great stock. Hitting on all cylinders. iPad and iPhone sales have been doing very well.
COMMENT
30-40 times earnings multiple is too expensive for him.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
US stocks with the US$ going down? You want to have an extra 10% return to cover potential currency loss. This one has had a great move and there could be a retreat in the share price.
BUY
Has been a great stock. One of the cheapest stocks he owns, even at these levels. Should have a lot more upside. They have $45 a share in cash.
COMMENT
Prefers RIM (RIM-T). If he owned Apple, he would be tempted to Sell it and buy RIM. Would consider shorting Apple and going Long Rim.
HOLD
As a value investor he wouldn't own this. Just came out with the iPad and the stock ran up on the expectations but hasn't moved much since. Still early to know if their sales are going to continue as strong. Great company.
TOP PICK
A pairs trade going Long Apple (AAPL-Q) and Short Power Share QQQQQ (QQQQ-Q). Trying to avoid market risk. Not bullish on S&P as it approaches $1200.
TOP PICK
Phenomenal branding machine. Even though it tripled in price since he bought, it is a better buy today because the earning power is so much more this year. The Ipad will be gravy.
