CAPS Rating:

The Company designs, manufactures and markets personal computers and related software, services, peripherals, and networking solutions.

Rating a stock in CAPS consists of three components:

Your call - Will this stock outperform or underperform the S&P 500? Successful picks are measured in terms of whether or not you were correct and by how many percentage points.

Your time frame - A guideline for other members to see whether your thinking is short or long-term. Time frame is also used to calculate the stock rating, but is not used in the scoring of your pick.

Your pitch - Here's your chance to offer more detailed thoughts, analysis, concerns, or the rationale behind your call. The pitch is optional and may be added later.

Each time you rate a stock, CAPS updates the community intelligence for the company, which may or may not change its CAPS rating. For more information, visit the Help tab at the top of the page.

Fortunately I bought this stock when Jobs was Ill and irrational pessimism about this company's future crushed its stock price. With the iPhone dominating here, soon to be in China, the iPod, iTouch, new Macs, and iToons this company looks to be on the verge of having a MS type of stock splits ever...More

Apple (AAPL) is a wonderful company, highly focused, and capable of envisioning and producing wonderful products. All of that is already factored, as far as I can tell, into the stock price.

Apple is currently valuated at around $160Bn, making it one of the largest corporations in the world. Its ...More

This is my opinion of Apple Products as a business owner:

My business runs on a Mac tower, MacBooks and the iPhone. The best thing one can do for a business or for personal use, is go visit the nearest Apple Store.

I plan on owning Apple stock for decades. Better than any mutual fund, ETF or IRA. Growth potential is unlimited for two simple reasons:

1. Rock solid, ass kicking products and apps. Hardware powerful, versatile and sleek, and user friendly, convenient and reliable software. Not to mention cutting edge innovation.
2. Market penetration. Apple products and branding have world-wide appeal, and market share grows exponentially (Europe, Asia, the Americas).

Every parent should purchase Apple products for their children, made by the innovators of future technology. Then put some Apple shares in the holiday stocking every year.

Overall Apple has been outperforming the market for most of the last couple years. The iphone and ipods are the bread and butter of their current sucess which is leading to more interest in their computers as well. I expect them to continue their current tread for some time to come.

Apple has the iphone and itunes markets locked up, for now. They'll continue to boost their bottom line on ancillary biz, outside the computer world. My concern is that competitors are poised to carve out a large chunk of the iphone biz, even if Verizon manages to pull the exclusivity away from AT&T. Give 'em a good year to keep going strong before the shine comes off the apple.

Apple is going to get more compition on some of its devices. but it will still fare very well just lower for some time. thats so i will be able to get a bigger bite out of the apple.
