Look, I like Apple's products. But as Warren Buffett said, liking a company's products and liking their stock are two different matters.
AAPL has a P/E in the 40's, and it is being driven by a lot of hype. Not to mention that the stock option issue hasn't really been dealt with by an *outside* auditor. I would be very nervous holding this stock right now.

apple's success is completely based on the success of the Ipod. so for now it is a safe investment. I disagree about it being a growth company though like one of the other posters said. I can tell that they are planning on making a phone, I will be watching this devolpment and so should you. Carefully watch the ipod becuase if another company manages to steal market share from them apple stock will go down. My recommendation is hold it if you got it. but if oyu want to buy wait for the next generation ipod to come out.

If you saw the new product announcement and don't think Apple has a future, you are nuts. As for the accounting problem, that's like saying Angelina Jolie is ugly because she might happen to have a zit on her bottom at this moment. The back-dating thing is really old news and Jobs is pretty well in the clear, although there are some Apple employees, just two or three out of several thousands, that are in trouble. The market has discounted the issue and moved on.

But Apple now as you will miss out on the earnigs report next week. This is a winner long term and short term as the options thing is almost like old news and steve jobs is going to be innocent. If I would not have put calls into apple this morning i would not be up 160%. It is still never too late to buy at around 92 right now. Scoop it up as it will go to 105 in a short time, maybe a couple of months.

First shall we initiate with the low p/e, a better p/e might want to propose the inventory is being overbought and a decrease one may propose income are going better. regrettably administration replace is a need when you consider that Steve Jobs is now lengthy previous. identity not in any respect guess hostile to apple when you consider that they beat income 13/16 quarters yet aapl neglected income on the perfect 2 quarters. i for my section see little need in finding out to purchase a sparkling apple product (touching on iphone5 and ipad mini) on yet another effectual note i'd not problem about the debt, we've continually managed to get by it. i'd not purchase, or promote yet identity defiantly carry

YES the SEC is seriously considering filing charges against Steve Jobs for backdating options. I would NOT touch this until the smoke clears.
