Apple, Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL)

Ipods...They control and entire generation of users who will grow up buying Apple products. And now Intel-based hardware. I'm sold.

In addition to iPod and dual OS PCs (with Intel inside), I'm expecting Apple to make a big announcement in the Home Entertainment space. At least, I'm hoping they do. :)

I think Apple is a great innovator and will keep outperforming.

next gen ipod with wide screen video will create a flurry

The valuation's astronomical, and red-hot iPod sales are finally beginning to cool. Still, Apple didn't get this far by being stupid. Faster Intel-powered Macs with the capability to run Windows will help, as will the inevitable debut of the iTunes Movie Store and next-generation video iPod, once Apple gets the stubborn, greedy movie studios to knuckle under. But I still think the greatest boost will come from an entirely new iPod-like gadget that no one will see coming. Underestimate Steve Jobs' marketing savvy, and Apple's ability to make and market stylish, well-designed products, at your own peril.

iLove this company.

Mmmmm, crunchy.

Launch of a new operating system, several new "appple toys" should prove worthwhile. Buy now and watch profits beat expectations by Christmas season.

Aaple is the best company out there. It excels in everything they do. Not many companies are innovative like Aaple. Microsoft got lucky due to Apple's screwup a few years ago and got a cash cow. But they have not innovated at all.
Aaple is good at everything they are doing. Retail, products, anything else they have, is the best. It has to be perfect, otherwise, it is not out for sale.
Steve Jobs is doing the best job and is the best guy for Aaple. I believe with his vision, he will definately take Aaple to heights, no one has ever imagined.

They've been slumping lately, so I gotta think we'll see something new and exciting from them soon!

Still on the hunt for bargains these days, AAPL's down about 20% in less than 2 months. The aggressive investor side of me likes this stock at these levels - looking to beat the S&P with AAPL over the next year. People LOVE their IPODS, and they're only getting better.

I expect continued growth of iPod sales, increasing MAC share of market, new consumer electronics willl keep earnings growing.

Picking a product (actually two: the iPod and the MacBook) I know and love, and am watching it get better and better. It runs Windows now too!? I'm thinking the back to school sales on those MacBooks plus the new educational low cost line are just going to rock.

Apple Computer is an innovative company that is on top of its game. I am writing this on my I Mac computer which I use for working in Photoshop. The design of their computers is excellent and everyone is familiar with those outstanding commercials that have helped to sell millions of I-Pods. Apple is on top of its game and I don't see them faltering anytime soon.

Everyone jus loves ipods and itunes and I think he apple computers are so cool.

Wish I'd posted this before today, but AAPL has been declared dead or dying so many, many times - i think that's a clear sign it will continue to be a long term winner

Apple's innovation is outpacing the industry in hardware and software applications, and bringing people and their media together with top-notch interfaces. Their support of industry standards UNIX, AAC, RSS, MPEG4, for instance, are giving developers the tools they need to make great applications. They keep their customers happy, and their users get access to the latest technologies ? years before Microsoft even begins thinking about it. Every day, more and more users are making the switch to Apple products ? which will help Apple increase its market share. With Apple's transition to Intel, more users will be willing to switch as well

Apple continues to roll out innovations,and has made it so much easier now to be a Mac user in a Windows world.

Apple's excessive volatility makes it clear the market is very confused on how to value this company, especially because it is such a huge innovator in its field. My prediction is that history will show the Ipod as the driving catalyst for propelling Apple products mainstream. For all Apple's recent growth lately, its share of the PC market remains at roughly 3%. There is huge growth potential here. And as an Apple consumer myself, I am well aware that all of the incredible features that the world loved about the Ipod (incredible user interface, powerful, clean, beautiful) are baked into each and every Apple product, including their PCs. It's only a matter of time before the PC business takes off. Even a 10-15% market share of the PC Business represents huge PC growth for Apple. And keep in mind, revenue from their PC business far outweighs revenue from the Ipod.

Is all this growth baked in at a PE of 32 and a forward PE of 26? I don't think so. And the market will definitely provide even greater discounts along the way. Apple is golden for the long-term.
