Just bought some Apple stock

Perhaps Apple itself is selling stock to invest in production of new iphone5s. Don’t know, but a PE below 9 for Apple screams under valued to me.

Apple would have to file a secondary offering if they want to sell new stock. Plus they have plenty of cash on hand to invest in new products. AAPL was an over owned growth stock. It’s going to take some time and a discounted share price to make the switch from growth based investors to value based investors. What’s happening right now is fairly typical as a company moves from growth to value.

Question is if you believe AAPL will maintain the same level of earnings going forward? If so, where is it going to come from? How are they going to keep up the margins but still sell phones in Asia for lower prices?
If you can satisfy yourself to answering above, then it is a screaming buy.

The phones, tablets and phablets markets have been commoditized. Apple will need to come out with a new game-changer to maintain growth and products appeals. Changing the form factors and expanding the internal storage size – which is essentially what it’s been doing – is not going to be enough. It’ll be interesting to see how these market leaders (apple, samsung and the likes) are going to be affected once the market is flooded with these inexpensive white-box tablets and smartphones.

I think I know what they should come up with, an electronic personal assistant. A lot of rich people have personal assistants, so if someone could buy a low priced electronic version they would feel like they are keeping up with the Jones’. I myself suffer from being sidetracked( I think it’s a creative side effect) so if I had an electronic aid to keep me on track and on schedule I think it could be a good thing. Maybe it could be used for drug addicts/alcoholics/criminals(with or without the tracking devices), to remind them what they should be doing( or not doing). Big Brother, that’s what we need. Something like the computer voice in Iron Man.

What? You think the technology is ready to come up with a good electronic personal assistant?
Often time when people are criticizing that Apple is not as innovative as when Steve Jobs was there, they forgot that innovations need to stand on top of the latest technology feasibility, including the resulting price point.

I, for one, think mobile wallet is more feasible. It is a digital age now, why do we still need to carry ID, membership card, credit/bank cards, insurance proof, etc while everything can be displayed in digital format perhaps even with source authentication? Smart phone penetration in US now is high enough for people to come up with new business model around it, rather than an extension for PC and TV, which is pretty much how it has been used so far.

D/k – I prefer a roll of bills “wiseguy” style.
