Apple loves to set the bar low and jump it without a problem. Get ready for another lowered earnings guidance which we all know will be no problem for apple to beat!

 

Apple sold 4.13 million Macs during the quarter, a 23 percent unit increase over the year-ago quarter. The Company sold 16.24 million iPhones in the quarter, representing 86 percent unit growth over the year-ago quarter. Apple sold 19.45 million iPods during the quarter, representing a seven percent unit decline from the year-ago quarter. The company also sold 7.33 million iPads during the quarter.

 

Huge earnings beat and I don't believe I've ever seen AAPL raise guidance on an earnings call. I may have to trade this

 

I wouldn't think about shorting until around 361.50ish..

 

Down $5.00 from its highs of nearly $356!!!!

 

One should think about how to get long AAPL not short.

 

Thats another way of looking at it.

 

Buy ipad it is the best long

 

Well blow me down - a great company at a cheap price is selling multiple category-killer products like hotcakes, and it beats earnings by a country mile. I'm shocked, shocked to see profits soaring in this business.

AAPL is now an even bigger bargain that it was before. At this rate EPS for 2011 will be 25-30, back out the cash pile and you are looking at around 10-12 times forward earnings, for the best blue chip stock on the planet. A fair valuation for something growing at this rate is probably 30 times forward earnings, arguably more in a bull market.

Basically, AAPL is a buy all the way up to $700 per share at least, and fair value could easily be $1000 per share. It is at least 50% undervalued. Anyone shorting on anything other than an ultra-short term technical basis simply does not have a clue how to trade or invest in stocks.
