The graph tells a very different story.
@paul – you may e right but the figures for Apple would be even more outstanding.

In this week’s Fortune 500 listing, Apple ranks #8 in profitability, #35 in sales. Why some people like Charbax, an Android astroturfer, and Shingetsu think Apple will crash is nonsensical. It’s already hugely undervalued based upon actual profits and growth rates. Apple has made over $12B in the first 6 months of this Fiscal Year. They are on track to make over $24B. That would put them 2nd in profitability on Forbes’ list. Ultimately, a stock’s worth is directly related to future profitability, and by all measures Apple’s present and future cash flows are huge and growing at an epic rate. Right now, only one other company in Fortune’s 500 listing is on track to earn more in profits than Apple this year, and that’s the world’s most valuable company, Exxon. I love how the haters have no actual fundamental reasons why Apple’s worth will go down. Good luck to you, but Apple shareholders will be laughing all the way to the bank.

@Savorique: Oh come on. Keep it clean, people, please.

Say if Apple has an antenna issue on a phone and the stock drops $10, does that really mean Apple is “worth” 9billion dollars less in a matter of days? Seriously.

I have no doubt that AAPL will go up in price (although I was told that it should break $400 by May), but I do question if it is overvalued.

When that thing crashes I wonder how apple will twist out of that one.

I don’t think I’ll care to spell out the difference nor the significance of that difference for you.

However, I’ll invite you, or any one out there to spend a few moments to ponder that platform proposition, ere you may set your bet against Apple anew. Speaking of which, how many times now have we hard that ‘Apple is doomed’ prediction in the past decade alone?
