  1. “Someone said to me that a high PE ratio isn’t necessarily good. AAPL’s PE currently is 43. Is this good or bad?”

    Depends on what you’re comparing it to and how much room you think Apple has to grow. The Forward P/E of 29.75 is more significant, really. And it all could (will) change in a week and a half when the “E” gets its lid blown off.

  2. I currently maintain a newly-expanded overview of around 30 companies whose orbits intertwine with Apple’s own.

    Amongst the new companies is Vivendi-Universal, whose lack of any active presence on either NYSE or NASDAQ had forced me to go to their website for information.

    My most recent visit caused me to wander around the site to get a feel for Vivendi’s operations, which include France’s second largest mobile telecoms provider which forces me to ask why Apple doesn’t use the iPhone as leverage to get what it wants.

    For those who can join up my dots, what I’d like Apple to do is hang iPhone over VU’s head like a technological sword of Damocles; keep jerking us around on UMG’s participation on iTS and the ridiculous requests for iPod royalties and not only will you not see iPhone as a supported phone on SFR (the Vivendi mobile network) now, but you’ll never see it for ten years. Alternatively, play ball with UMG – including a long-term (five-year commitment) to iTS and we’ll make yours the most attractive mobile network in France.

    Then the question to VU is simple: what is worth more – the royalties from 80 million iPod/iPhones and maybe an extra 20% from iTS sales or losing 15-25% of their customers to France Telecom’s Orange assuming that’s where iPhone lands up?

  3. again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again… yyyyyyyeessssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!

  4. Apple has massive room to grow.

    With their approximate ≠ 6% market in computers – And growing.

    Not everyone owns an iPod yet.

    iPhone has only just begun.

    AppleTV – baby steps

    Oh yeah – Vista (Virusta) – a great sales tool for Leopard

  5. Yell at R2 everybody! R is innocent, don’t turn him into the running man!!!!!

    @R2….Drink some Camel’s Milk, the fart you blast off will lift your thinking to a higher plane whilst sending your caveman mentality to the depths of decravity where it belongs!!!

  6. The trolls are out in force. Go fsck yourselves trolling schmucks. My money is on the table on AAPL and, while there will be short term corrections, AAPL will be rising to much greater heights. I love betting against you guys. Each year we get a new set of idiots trolling at MDN, only to slink away — or change their handles — in embarrassment, blown away by AAPL’s rise against the laughable FUD spewed against it.

  7. So, my momma always told me not to count my chickens before they hatched. Well, looks to me that Ms Goldman has done just that. 20+ years experience? Really? I wonder what her other stock recommendations are, and how big of a portfolio she manages. Oh wait… perhaps we should measure her success the same way she measure’s AAPL?

  8. Crabapple,

    I’m British, so kicking Frenchmen in the nuts metaphorically is actually not only a race memory but a vocation and a national duty as well.

    Also, I can be in central Paris in three hours so my services would be dead cheap.

  9. “Someone said to me that a high PE ratio isn’t necessarily good. AAPL’s PE currently is 43. Is this good or bad?”

    Generally not considered good, but it has been higher, even when Apple wasn’t doing so well.
