今年能不能见到五千亿市值的苹果? 苹果公司已经是四千亿美元市值的公司了,我估计,今年有机会见到五千亿市值的苹果,写出美国历史的新篇章。 继承乔布斯遗愿的苹果领导者,在未来几年还会继续书写新的让人兴奋的篇章。哪些觉得后乔布斯时代不值得投资苹果股票的家伙,看来是有眼无珠了! 年底之前,苹果还会成为一家即没有债务,同时还手握一千亿美元现金的巨无霸。 苹果的电视,我估计,也会继续演绎乔布斯喜爱的简单、完美的设计理念。 苹果在教科书市场也会打捞一笔。 苹果在智能手机和平板电脑市场,还有大量的钱好赚。 上次我推荐苹果股票时,刚好是苹果短期的下调,现在是短期的继续创新高。 Apple Mega-Cap Milestone… $400 Billion Valuation (AAPL) Posted: January 19, 2012 at 9:52 am Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL) may have been hitting new all-time highs ahead of next week’s quarterly earnings report and its price target from analysts may have crept higher as well. There is a new milestone, one which very few outfits have ever achieved even going back to the days of excessive valuations and the bubble days. Apple has now hit the $400 billion mark as far as its market capitalization rate. Apple’s new all-time high as of this morning was $$431.32 amd the $429.50 price today currently generates a market capitalization rate of close to $399.5 billion. The consensus price target (mean target) from Thomson Reuters is listed today as being $511.68. If that $511+ price target objective is ever hit (or when it is hit for the bulls) then Apple will have an implied market cap of $476 billion. NOt many companies have achieved this and it is important to realize that later this year Apple will have over $100 billion in cash on hand if it does not conduct a large dividend, share buyback, nor make a large acquisition. Apple Unveils New Digital Textbook Service Published January 19, 2012 , Reuters Apple Inc ( AAPL : 429.79, +0.68, +0.16%) unveiled a new digital textbook service called iBooks 2 on Thursday, aiming to revitalize the U.S. education market and quicken the adoption of its market-leading iPad. The consumer electronics giant has been working on digital textbooks with publishers Pearson PLC, McGraw-Hill and Houghton Muffin Harcourt, a trio responsible for 90 percent of textbooks sold in the United States. It Amazon .com Inc and other device makers have made inroads into an estimated $8 billion market for electronic textbooks. At the event, Apple introduced tools to craft digital textbooks and demonstrated how authors and even teachers can create books for students. Marketing chief Phil Schiller said it was time to reinvent the textbook, adding that 1.5 million iPads are in use now in education. "It's hard not to see that the textbook is not always the ideal learning tool," he said. "It's a bit cumbersome." IBooks 2 will be available as a free app on the iPad, starting Thursday. High school textbooks will be priced at $14.99 or less, Schiller said. "You'll see textbooks for every subject for every level," he added. Other media and technology companies have eyed the U.S. education market as ripe for some sort of upheaval. Rupert Murdoch's News Corp launched an education business two years ago and hired former New York City Education Chancellor Joel Klein to lead it. At an event at New York's Guggenheim Museum, the first since the passing of Apple founder Steve Jobs , Schiller said teachers need help and Apple is trying to figure out how it can do its part. "In general, education is in the dark ages," he said, adding that education has challenges that are "pretty profound." According to Jobs' biography by Walter Isaacson , Murdoch met with Jobs last year and discussed the possibility of Apple's entrance into a market Jobs estimated at $8 billion a year and believed was ripe for disruption.
