In terms of value-add, here are my comments. Value-add may be overstating things.
If I'm not long or short, why have I made any comments at all? Simply put, I find the FanBoy attitude of "my... login to read the rest | |

Siegfried,
I haven't been either long or short AAPL outright...ever. Don't have the patience to go back through the thread but I'm pretty sure I never indicated that I was involved on either side, and I... login to read the rest | |

Biffins,
Clearly, you are either a poor person or a nerd who just wants to put dork shit on their phone. Please reengage once you have learned to appreciate good fit and finish.

Out of all the idea discussions on VIC, I found the debate about the merits of an investment in Apple probably the most tiresome, vacuous, emotional, and full of rhetoric a couple years ago.

Go long AAPL. Risk is equivalent to betting that the sun will rise tomorrow. | |

Is there any third party popular software written for Apple that is not writen for android or vice versa ? | |

Bafana, you're inadvertantly proving Siegfried's point. All you want in a phone is core abilities for call/text/email and maybe one or two other things. So you buy a low-end phone once every five years and do relatively little... login to read the rest | |

I believe that's Symbian (mostly Nokia but also Ericsson, Samsung, Motorola, etc.)Also weren't Palm phones some of the original "smartphones"? I owned a Palm Treo once. | |

In Central America right now. Same thing. Only apples to be found are from roadside vendors. Judging by most of the cars on the road, though, indigenous population probably not really into "fit and finish". | |

I am traveling in Asia and I am seeing smart phones everywhere from cab drivers in India to tuk tuk drivers in Thailand. Same thing in sub Saharan Africa.
Everybody is now getting the Internet over the phone.

Maybe what Google needs to do is in its up coming versions on android is create
(1) a very simple uncluttered version
(2) a professional version
These will be close sourced and charge for it

"I dont get it"
Finally an honest admission. Bafana, if you're still asking this question just accept that you don't get it and move on. There's no shame in it. I don't get the price of... login to read the rest | |

I have a smart phone I bought for $50 and as far as I can tell it does everything my old apple phone could.

Siegfried considers Android the "OS for poor people and nerds who want to run some custom dork shit on their phone."

We found a new phase: Super-Delusion. It's probably because of the student loan bubble.

Yeah, that Einhorn guy is guilty of completely messing up his AAPL research. The poor guy only has 19.4% annualized returns for nearly 17 years, so he messes up all the time. Now, he's probably... login to read the rest | |

It's not that valuation doesn't matter.... it's that simplistic P/E multiples don't work for stocks not growing in a steady state with little debate.

- To say AAPL is not the most loved stock because it doesn't have the highest EBITDA multiple is silly. By that argument, what about companies that have negative EBITDA and a positive TEV,... login to read the rest | |
