Okay. So now all the guys that bought low will begin to fill the market with Apple doom guidance to cause the stock to drop again to buy more low.
Apparently, nobody cares but you...
You have to keep in mind the forums you are posting in. This place is has more Apple hate than love. It must frustrating to see news like this when your whole being wants to see Apple wiped from the face of the earth.
Double correction: 😁
Apple is a publicly owned company, it’s everybody’s company. But, seems things are running perfectly fine under Tim.
Oh it’s already started. A Goldman Sachs analyst is setting the price at $165. Let the pump-and-dump begin!
Highest point up to now, yes, but Hey, AAPL 350 coming within 2 years.
What did you say when AAPL PE was 9 I wonder? You didn't buy then?
I found that many people cannot discern a good thing when it is right in front of their nose.
Now AAPL PE is like 18 or 19 - and it should register to you that it deserves a much higher PE ratio even still
Gene Munster is pretty good with AAPL most of the time. He makes the comparison, as does Jim Cramer, with Proctor and Gamble. (PE 80). Apple can be viewed as a consumer staple - the biggest one! - not a high tech growth company. The size of it. The revenue and earnings. The growth of services is double digits %. On and on.

They did that last month, and stand by it today ( incredibly). It's a different sort of fake news. People believe what they are told mostly. But we are all free to think for ourselves

Although 3D Touch had potential, it was a failed functionality for the iPhone. The reason being, no one know how to manipulate it, now with the expansion of haptic touch, (which Apple actually promotes v.s 3D Touch had zero marketing), it’s essentially replacing 3D Touch in a different manner, but it doesn’t necessarily mean it’s a ‘better’ manner.
Thank you Apple for making me money. My transition from an avid user to a pure investor is almost complete.
The “Tim Cook must resign” contingent is awful quiet.
Thank you Apple! Bought my first shares 12 years ago and have made close to 1300%.
China is a double edged sword, but it's overwhelmingly been positive to this point. China is around 20% of their revenue.
Microsoft fights China in the same ways through hardware production, and of course, piracy.
I love Microsoft, but their valuation today is questionable to me.

You guys are priceless. If you bought AAPL last year, you'd be up huge.
Apple is more profitable than the other Trillion (Microsoft) or near trillion (Google, Amazon) companies. A lot more.
Apple makes about $60B in net income annually, making them a very cheap ~18X earnings at a $1T valuation. Microsoft makes about $33B annually and trades about 35X earnings. So talk about Microsoft before you even mention Apple.
Apple absolutely has the profits to back up their valuation and is probably the only company that actually justifies such a value.
Do your homework on fundamentals or don't bother talking about them.
Almost no one here knows a what P/E multiple is, let alone how to analyze it.Highest point up to now, yes, but Hey, AAPL 350 coming within 2 years.

We have someone in this thread saying Apple's profits don't justify the valuation when that is literally the opposite of true. You could say that about Amazon, but AAPL? LOL!!

Those that bought low and sold high are reaping the benefits of “Tim’s Company”. Money talks and bs walks. Right?
I'm not saying that it wasn't even though I've used it probably 2x. Never understood the appeal.
I was just surprised that the only worry was 3D touch from a trillion dollar company. My problems are:
-insanely high prices
-slow development especially with the Mac side
-software slipping
(just to name few without too many specifics)
Apple was fantastic for me about 10 years ago as the focus was little more even. Now its all about iPhone and little about everything else. They promote photography yet they killed the nicest software for editing (Aperture) - I still haven't found an alternative that would truly sit with me.
Anyway, I wish I was only worried about 3D touch
Steve Jobs cared about the Apple customer. Tim Cook cares about the Apple shareholder. Steve was a minor shareholder, Tim is a major one, what a surprise. I prefer the Apple with a simmering stock price that made great products not the Apple with a boiling stock price that makes questionable products.
Let's see how long it can hold that value before dropping back down below $1T as it did late last year when all the analysts start telling shareholders and potential investors how Apple has gone up too high and too fast and how it deserves some 10% correction based on some vague rumors of faulty iPhones. Usually, whenever Apple stock starts to get decent traction, something will come along and derail the stock.
Meanwhile, Microsoft will simply keep cruising along thanks to its unstoppable cloud business or at least that's what Wall Street is always saying. No pullback for Microsoft, but there must be a pullback for Apple because Apple is so vulnerable due to everything under the sun. That's why Apple should acquire a cloud business in order to have unlimited growth potential as every other tech stock that has a cloud business. What does Apple use its data centers for, anyway? Hopefully, they will be fully operational for Apple's streaming business and Apple won't have to be giving their money to Amazon for storage.
I'm willing to bet Apple is still considered a doomed company and there will always be those analysts who give price targets of $50 lower than the current share price because they believe Apple is too overvalued despite having a P/E lower than most tech companies. Whatever. I hope those analysts are happy for ruining some investor's chances to make some decent money. Luckily, they'll never get fired for giving very poor advice because they work for crooked brokerage firms.

Yep, Apple stock rises it’s a doomed company. Apple stock falls its a doomed company. Might as well take the profits while one can.
More evidence that Tim Cook has done nothing but run the company into the ground since taking over as CEO.

Been hearing this ridiculous nonsense since 1997. I didn't listen, and ended up 7 figures richer as a result.
