#3'"The reason Apple has been able to do so well is that it produces products that consumers want," Kaufman Brothers analyst Shaw Wu said. "That's something that's very difficult and, frankly, something a lot of companies struggle with."'
Sounds familiar.

Google has a higher profit margin, it should be noted. So yeah, Apple has issued more stock, and by stock prices it is more "valuable". I'd still rather own Google than Apple, if I were given a choice.

#5Sigh. Too bad I sold my APPL three years ago. Got it when it was $19 though.

Really? From April 2005 to April 2010, AAPL appreciated by 583% whereas GOOG went up by only 219%. AAPL has multiple winners and personally, I would own AAPL vs GOOG.

When the entire stock market was on sale during the worst of the recession and crash, I considered buying both AAPL and GOOG. I bought a few shares of GOOG, and opted not to buy AAPL, at all. I have ethical issues with AAPL, as well, so that probably also had an impact on my decision. I would have done very well on AAPL, but I've done well on GOOG, as well. Looks like AAPL might have been a slightly better investment...but I'd have to do math to be sure. And, I agree with you and think that GOOG will come out on top in the end.

#9Obviously the argument about if Apple's growth is sustainable or not also hinges on something troublesome about its history: the presence or absence of Steve Jobs. Will you invest in a company that is so much personified in an individual who will definitely leave someday?

Apple's historical appreciation is nearly irrelevant when you consider whether you want to own it today at its present price.
