12 1/4 times dell
There are two huge moments coming up:
– Apple passing Exxon to become number one.
– Apple doubling Microsoft

Around $ 380, AAPL will pass Dell’s market cap*13, if Dell stock holds steady.
Telephone on Michael Dell’s desk rings. We listen in…
“Oh hello Steve, I thought you were on indefinite leave.”
“No, no, I’m not planning on closing Dell Computer.”
“How’s that again? Close it down and return the money to the shareholders?”
“Steve you cannot be serious? Apple is worth 13 times Dell? Does that mean I can shut it down 13 times?”
Line goes dead…
Microsoft down today. Bill Gates has dumped 90 million shares in the past year.
Apple > MS + Nokia + RIM + Motorola
Another 18B and you can add Dell to that stack of losers.
Actually, around 370. dell will go down and meet Apple half way.
Apple is orchestrating a yearly cycle that does not let up.
New iPad in the Spring
New iPhone (and WWDC) in the Summer
New iPods (plus iTunes and Apple TV) in the Fall
New Macs as needed to fill the “gaps”
Phenomenal results during the Holidays
Other “surprises” along the way
Repeat…
That’s one reason AAPL keeps going up. Apple stays in the media spotlight.
Hey… I know!!!!! Let’s Get Mikey!!!! He won’t eat it! He Hates everything!!!
Hey Mikey! He Likes IT!!! NOT! That’s LIFE Dell Boy!
How bout them Apples?! Schmuck!
I still think passing Wintel is more important, and that’s only $25B away.
