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.

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.
TOP PICK
Excellent momentum. Sold 11 million iPods last quarter with 9 million as the estimate. Also sold 3.9 million iPhones with the estimate at 3.35 million.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
Likes the sector and their business model. Concerned about competition in the lower end and margins being contracted. Not terribly expensive but would wait for a pullback. Prefers Research in Motion (RIM-T).
