Back out the expected average cash balance in 2013 of about $150B, and then, look at the price to sales based on estimated 2013 revenues. You will get something around 2 times (not 3.14). Then, with a P/E ex-cash in 2013 of less than 8X and the high return on equity and growth rates, you have to draw your own conclusions. Personally, of all the stocks I watch, AAPL is my number one pick for this year from these levels. It may be bumping through the fiscal cliff negotiations, like all stocks, but the data coming out since Friday on market share and iPad Mini sales and their limited cannibalization of iPad sales suggest a tremendous quarter in the works.
Sentiment: Strong Buy

If you think it is too high than don't buy. No one is forcing you to. You should do what you think is good for yourself.

How about a 40% growth rate with an 8 p/e after cash, #$%$?
