Teen survey tells the truth
The most telling statistic regarding Apple comes from a study recently issued by Piper Jaffry. The study was a survey of 4,800 teens. 1,600 of the teens were from affluent households and 3,200 came from average income households.
Of these teens, 48% already own an iPhone and 62% plan on making an iPhone their next smartphone purchase. Additionally, 51% of the teens own tablets with 68% of those tablets being iPads. Of the 17% of teens who plan to buy a tablet in the next 6 months, 68% plan to buy an iPad.
So forget all those advertising campaigns from Samsung and Google that denigrate the iPhone. Forget all the media headlines about the latest iPhone killer. iOS devices are still the hottest technology. -

“The new must-have Apple accessory: its bond debt,” Ben Eisen reports for MarketWatch.
“Demand for the technology company’s landmark $17 billion in bonds didn’t stop at issuance. The bonds traded Wednesday in high volumes with prices stuck above their offering levels,” Eisen reports. “Buying and selling of Apple bonds represented more than one in every five trades in the high-grade corporate bond market Wednesday as of 2 p.m., according to MarketAxess. Some $1.85 billion of Apple trades took place Wednesday against total trading of $9.08 billion.”Sentiment: Strong Buy

ccording to preliminary data from IDC, worldwide tablet shipments continue to surge, growing 142.4% year over year in the first quarter of 2013 (1Q13), Tablet shipments totaled 49.2 million units in 1Q13, surpassing that of the entire first half of 2012. IDC's stats show once again that Apple's iPad is the number one tablet brand in the world.
Apple outperformed IDC's most recent projections for the quarter, shipping 19.5 million units compared to a forecast of 18.7 million units. The company, which historically has experienced a steep drop off in first quarter shipments (following strong holiday sales in the fourth quarter), saw some smoothing of that seasonality this year.Sentiment: Strong Buy

MetroPCS has never offered the iPhone to its 9 million customers, but today’s announcement means the carrier will begin migrating to T-Mobile’s network infrastructure and presumably eventually support the iPhone alongside T-Mobile for its customer base. The new combined company will be lead by T-Mobile CEO John Legere, but for now T-Mobile and MetroPCS will continue to operate as separate brands.

CNBC is losing a lot of credibility by allowing such unprofessional behavior. Could someone tame this animal?.
She or Cramer probably asked Cook for an exclusive interview in Mad Money and he refused and childishly this informercial is retaliating. No matter what the reasons are, CNBC should not allow few monkeys slander a great company like AAPL. They dont even ALLOW or give air time to AAPL longs and when they do is always interrupted. APPL should hire the best PR firm to clarify the reason behind AAPL bashing by this chitty network!.Sentiment: Strong Buy

WS greed is actually hurting both big and small investors. You are wondering why people are keeping their saving in Tbills with zero return and not in stock market?. Playing with people's investment by manipulating the market will only create another bubble in the stock market and at the end nobody wins.
I am not a trader and not in rush to sell great stocks like QCOM any time soon.Sentiment: Strong Buy

Size. With $20.46 billion in sales, Qualcomm is less than half of Intel's size. This means that the law of large numbers works better for Qualcomm, as do the laws of economies. While Qualcomm is at the threshold where returns scale takes full effect, Intel is approaching the threshold where constant or even decreasing returns to scale begin to kick in.
Better company fundamentals. As a pioneer of CDMA technology, Qualcomm enjoys the "first mover" advantage in wireless communications; and with the recent acquisition of Atheros Communications, Qualcomm strengthened its leadership in the industry.
Better industry fundamentals. While Intel remains the leader in the mature PC industry, (though Intel has made several moves into wireless communications in recent years) Qualcomm maintains leadership in wireless communications- still an emerging industry. Wireless Intelligence estimates that the number of 3G users will reach 2.8 billion by 2014.
Riding the industry upgrade cycle. Qualcomm is expected to be the main beneficiary of the wirelessSentiment: Strong Buy

Do you know how idiotic your post is?. By buying back shares AAPL is trying to tell investors that they are in great shape moving forward and they find their own shares extremely undervalues.
May I ask where did you get the idea of AAPL lack of innovation and no attempt to create new products?,

Well, $50 billion says Apple is cheap.
That's how much Apple is boosting its current share repurchase program by, and represents the vast majority of the total increase in planned capital returns through 2015. Apple's initial plan unveiled last year included $10 billion in repurchase authorization, and the new total is $60 billion. To date, Apple has only repurchased $2 billion of stock (4 million shares), which still leaves a massive $58 billion budget for Apple to buy back shares.
That could buy approximately 143 million shares at current prices, or over 15% of all shares currently outstanding. Realistically, these repurchases will take place through the end of 2015 and there will also inevitably be some dilution related to equity compensation, but the point is this is an enormous vote of confidence.
Apple is now up to $144.7 billion in total cash, which translates into $154 per share. Factoring in the new -

Attacking AAPL with such hate and viciousness doesnt look normal. SHe is either getting paid by someone for bashing or their are some psychological issues.
CNBC should control this crazed woman and threw some meat in her cage!. -
By comparison, Apple closed Tuesday with a market capitalization of $380 billion. And its $145 billion cash pile isn’t going to get any smaller: the newly-announced program merely brings its dividend and share-repurchase expenditures up to roughly the level of its current free cash flow. Apple will still have more than enough money to invest as much money as it likes in anything it likes.”
“Apple says that its new capital-return scheme ‘translates to an average rate of $30 billion per year from the time of the first dividend payment in August 2012 through December 2015′; it’s pretty hard to imagine that number falling thereafter,” Salmon writes. “If you assume fungibility of dividends and share repurchases, then you can express that number as an effective dividend yield: a $30 billion dividend, divided by a $400 billion market cap, works out to a yield of a whopping 7.5%.”
