It's hard to make such guesswork, since Apple could come out with "one more thing" that will grab it more attention and customers, and give it another product to rely on wrt income.

Um... the stock price takes that into account. You'd be a crappy investor if you didn't. In fact I remember reading an analyst say a few years back that Apple's large war chest at the time made the stock more attractive.Originally posted by Q Cubed
Except what I'm arguing is that your notion of what it's worth isn't the notion that most analysts and economists use. You're relying only on market capitalization, on the value of its stock, completely ignoring any liquid and invested assets.
As far as I understand, in this capitalist society, such things aren't ignored when calculating value and worth.Only feebs vote.Comment

Aggie, be careful with "analysts". Some "analysts" buy lots of stock then hype it up, raising its price..."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

Which is why they are pretty scrupulous about disclosure. Sure... there are plenty of bad eggs, but the general standard of business ethics among stock analysts is actually pretty high.Aggie, be careful with "analysts". Some "analysts" buy lots of stock then hype it up, raising its price...
Doesn't matter... when the revolution comes they'll be decorating lamp posts, but I guess it's the thought that counts.Only feebs vote.Comment

Right and wrong. Stock price does, sort of, take it into account--in the same way that public opinion of the president takes into account facts.Originally posted by Agathon
Um... the stock price takes that into account.
In other words, yes, but hype and public perception thwonks the other stuff nine times out of ten.
Enron, for instance.
Are you saying that most people who invest in the stock market are good investors?You'd be a crappy investor if you didn't.

It's all perception. That's the point of capitalism. Things are worth what people are prepared to pay for them.Originally posted by Q Cubed

Apple's Jobs pokes fun at Dell
By Macworld staff
Apple CEO Steve Jobs took a dig at Dell founder and chairman Michael Dell last week.
As Apple's stock price rockets, setting new records and attracting a rising wave of positive analyst comment, Jobs sent an email to staff that looked back to Dell's advice when the Apple co-founder returned to Apple in 1997.
Apple was in deep trouble at that point - and Dell saw no future for the firm. He told an audience of several thousand technology managers that he would close Apple and "give the money back to the shareholders".
The New York Times reports that in an internal message to Apple employees sent on Friday last week, Jobs wrote: "Team, it turned out that Michael Dell wasn't perfect at predicting the future. Based on today's stock market close, Apple is worth more than Dell. Stocks go up and down, and things may be different tomorrow, but I thought it was worth a moment of reflection today. Steve."
Apple's shares were worth $85.5899 at close of trading on Friday.
The company will reveal further details of its December quarter's trading on January 18. Apple has already confirmed it sold 14 million iPods and raised $5.7 billion in revenue in the quarter.

Amazing what a step backward the new iMacs are in self-servicability.
All the more reason to pay the kids at the Apple Store to install your RAM.

No, but the pre-iSight ones allowed you to change a lot more easily."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."
