“There are lots of good reasons to own shares of Apple Inc.,” John Shinal reports for MarketWatch. “Chief Executive Steve Jobs has transformed the iconic PC maker into the dominant player in the digital-music market, posting top line growth that has left its traditional rivals in the dust.”
Shinal reports, “Thanks to continued strong demand for the company’s iPod media player, Apple sales are expected to rise 26% to $24.3 billion for its fiscal year ending in September.”
“By contrast, big PC makers such as Hewlett-Packard Co. and Dell Inc. are expected to post single-digit sales growth at best. And Microsoft Corp., Apple’s archenemy in markets ranging from software to handheld music players, is seen posting top line growth of 14%, helped by its first update of Windows (now Vista) in five years,” Shinal reports.
Shinal reports, “And just when analysts were beginning to question how long the iPod could continue to drive growth, Jobs unveiled the iPhone, which puts Apple into the market for a combination cell phone and MP3 player. Some fund managers see the gadget as providing another leg for the Apple growth story to stand on.”
“Clearly, if you’re looking for growth in the universe of large-cap PC-related issues, Apple has been the place to be,” Shinal reports.
“Still, there’s also a good reason not to own Apple shares,” Shinal reports. “The fact that analysts were raising estimates BEFORE Apple announced the product was a red flag to one fund manager, who sold off his Apple stake after holding the shares for about a year.”

MacDailyNews Note: Of 27 analyst firms making recommendations on AAPL, 4 say “Hold,” 18 say “Buy,” and the remaining 5 say “Strong Buy.” Analyst recommendations for AAPL via NASDAQ.com here.
There is reasonable concern that AAPL is overpriced and that growth will not be as stellar as in the past few years. So, if Apple can produce (iPhone, Leopard, etc…), it could break out of this price range and move up again. Exciting prospect.
Apple long term is definitely a buy. They’re Microsoft meets Dell…Wallstreet wise that is.
DELL is a bye. AAPL is a buy. Anne Heche is just bi.
And Rosie is an ugly bi-
I am at 50 shares, thinking of more. I guess I better get in gear.
oh, yeah, polar…..bipolar
For a true in-depth discussion of Apple stock and it’s prospects, go to TMO’s Apple Financial Forum.
Nice one Twisted Mac Freak.
Peace.
Time Horizon….
If you are looking at the next 3-4 months, then maybe wait…
If you are looking at 5 – 10 years – then simply buy.
AAPL IS A BUY
“DELL is a bye. AAPL is a buy. Anne Heche is just bi.”
Twisted Mac Freak may be the new Ampar.
“Twisted Mac Freak may be the new Ampar.”
on acid.
mmmm do you think the stock will go up after
iphone
10.5
new macs ( 8 core mother f^&*cker )
dare I say say NEW IPODS ( PURE SEX )
don’t people have this holiday thing every year?
when Apple gains market share … doesn’t that make there profits grow?
mmmmmmm do you think the stock that has had a lid on it for 2 years will soon explode???
ALL MY $$$ IS ON IT !
Thorin: new?
TMF
Don’t throw it away, man…
No, I’ve been around for a while, LOL. But really, if you are saying what I think you are saying, that makes be happy, no doubt. It would also mean that I was in tune, with my receptors firing on all cylinders. Three cheers!
TowerTone, take us all for beers when you cash in.
I’m holding my aapl stocks for the long haul. If I lived in the US and could afford more I would have been buying up more during last year when they dipped for a bit.
TT: There are always new handles just like girlfriends and changes of underwear.
For the quick term “micro” trading profits, look elsewhere. You and not going to be able to jump at the right times. Steve Jobs will make sure of that. LOL
” width=”19″ height=”19″ alt=”grin” style=”border:0;” />
But for long term (18-48 months) profits, Apple is the best place to be. As the PC market starts to crumble faster and faster, Apple is the only one left standing that has the products to thrive in that time period. If I had $5-10 K to spend right now, I know where it would go.

I think TMF is a genius…keep ’em comin’
TMF,
Don’t reveal that again, it’s more fun that way. BTW, WTF is a girlfriend? My wife is pretty smart, I’ll ask her when I get home. Then again, she may be too busy polishing the shackles to talk about it.
Hah, ha, Thorin doesn’t know what a girlfriend is.
BTW, what is a ‘change of underwear’?
“DELL is a bye. AAPL is a buy. Anne Heche is just bi.”
Now that’s funny right there, I don’t care who you are….
and for that matter, what is a change of underware anyways? (blinks)
@ Twisted Mac Freak
“DELL is a bye. AAPL is a buy. Anne Heche is just bi.”
LMAO. =)
Thorin
It’ll be a few years before I can do that.
Not the cashing in part-
but the liver recovered from 5 years of bingeing.
(sober 17 months-non smoker 3 months)
I wasn’t kidding about getting kicked out of the same club twice in one night!
And THAT’S how I finally could afford a Mac…
TowerTone, you were a bad boy! See everyone? See what spending too much time in Louisiana can do to you?
“Of 27 analyst firms making recommendations on AAPL, 4 say “Hold,” 18 say “Buy,” and the remaining 5 say “Strong Buy.” Analyst recommendations for AAPL via NASDAQ.com here.
“
In WallStreetSpeak you need to ratchet all recommendation levels down.
Hold means “Drop this sucker now!, The “Buys” mean “We’re not that excited” and the “Strong Buys” means Buy.
Welcome aboard, Thorin! Good eye – I figured it out a few weeks ago. Now, keep it quiet or no squirt for you.
And, TowerTone, a friend of mine got kicked out the same bar 3 times in one night not too long ago. After the third, he had to stay outside and freeze while we finished hitting on some Thai chicks.
He learned his lesson, especially when he saw us walking out with those girls!
“Now, keep it quiet or no squirt for you.”
Oh, don’t worry about that.
Are you sure you meant Thai chicks?
Or did you mean Thai stick
” width=”19″ height=”19″ alt=”hmmm” style=”border:0;” />
Thai Stick
and the tie chicks…
‘then’
Thanks, folks. Sometimes I get lucky and sometimes I get lucky.
I also own some AAPL. Every time it splits I get flung into a mitotic spindle. What a rush.
“He learned his lesson, especially when he saw us walking out with those girls!”
Five dollar I love you long time!
“Five dollar I love you long time!”
I love stories with a happy ending.
I can’t drink the whiskey like I used ta’ could.
C1,
It was only 6:25 (your time) when you posted that. Do you need to talk to someone?
I sincerely believe that AAPL is going to rocket in the second half of this year, and while the iPhone and the new iPods are going to play an important role in this, it’s the computers that are going to surprise everyone.
Growth of Macs is exponential and sales are going to reach a watershed at the end of the year and then really start gushing.
Ten years ago my broker told me not to buy AAPL. I gve him an order to buy a nice round lot – at 18.50. That was a couple of splits ago – now he doesn’t tell me not to when I say buy something <grin>
I’m a happy camper š
