"A diet is only a short period of starvation before a profit of £ 5" â? From "The Best of the Good Clean Jokes" by Bob Phillips

Â

Apple Inc. bearish stock traders were from the 2010 third-quarter earnings report Apple. claim that Apple has become too big disappointment.  There are no new significant income streams. iPhone sales are down. iPad sales were not as good as they could be. iPod sales were off.  The participants will be jumping on every page of all their products.  Apple will languish because this. Finally, cite as evidence for these two quarters reduced revenue. To be sure, there are at least a grain of truth in all these points. Nevertheless, Apple is getting ready to put on some importance in the context This is a very profits. the right moment to buy shares in Apple, as we shall see.

First, I will make an important point of the bullish investment shares philosophy. Bears often seek perfection. If there are a great challenge for a company or companies, and there is no immediate solution provided, then they expect failure. Bears often miss the point that there is no human organization has ever perfect. companies and enterprises are always challenges. The best companies and organizations know how to meet the challenges and be successful anyway. I think this is especially true for Apple Inc.

Apple's sales history

Let us first look at Apple's sales in the last three years? Not only the last three quarters.

Let us first determine that in the third quarter 2008 revenue was 0.561 billion euros by Apple.  In the third quarter of 2010, Apple sales 0.7 billion. you have doubled their turnover in the space of two years. That is a feat that few companies can match Apple's size – although most companies long to do.

Now let us take a look at the graphics for some patterns. Notice how Apple has a big pop in the fourth quarter of either sales or reside in the first quarter of each year, this makes perfect sense, because the U.S. Christmas holiday buying habits and purchase student school. computers for Apple is not alone. A statistically for many-many decades, in the fourth quarter the best quarter for the average public corporation. A decline in revenue from the first quarter versus the second quarter and then for the third quarter of normal.

But wait, for the third quarter of 2010 was even a little higher than in the first quarter – .7 0.683 billion compared to billion. This is what significant. Apple had a fantastic third quarter, when viewed in comparison to other third quarter they had before!  Note, finally, the general upward trend in revenue curve aus.a Sure revenue fluctuates from quarter to quarter, and this is normal for sales â corporations. not go up in straight lines? for Apple. But if you draw a line through the mean sales revenue development are very exciting.

Imagine what is in the fourth quarter or first quarter of 2011, as for Apple after the holiday season. already are, are meaningful statistics shopping in weekend. after the 2010 Thanksgiving retail sales much higher for the year 2010, when it appeared in Apple sells 2009. were very desirable consumer products Apple will choose a significant part of the Christmas shopping money and post record sales totals in the sales of Take timeframe. – billion would be in line with the average trend for the first quarter of 2011.  We can not even dare dream of billions or more!  A smart investor would buy Apple now, before the year 2010 in the fourth quarter and 2011 first-quarter revenue totals out. The Apple does play a large short-term value for the next few quarters.

Â

Unit Sales
iPhone

Apple iPhone sales reach almost 8.4 million phones in the third quarter of 2010. This was a 61% increase over the same quarter in Apple's latest iPhone is 2009. Thea iPhone 4.a This new model was launched late in the third quarter of 2010 .  sale of this device are not yet fully baked into the figures. Early indications from Apple that this launch was tremendous successful. iPhones sold 1.7 million in the third quarter of 2010. Apple characterizes this as one of the most successful There are product launches in history. not have a long history of iPhone sales, it is risky, a negative trend for the iPhone sales in such a small drop in numbers from the second quarter, the forecast third. Take a look at the following table.

It is technically true that in the third quarter, lower than the first and second quarter for the iPhone sales. However, if you tended to view the total number, this downturn is not terribly significant. Remember, for the third quarter for Apple historically weak. This is not at all unusual for a public corporation. reading too much into a third quarter loss of power is a classic investor mistake.  I look to seasonal factors and other data before I draw the same conclusion.

A more likely explanation for the downward trend in the iPhone was the rumor of the new iPhone 3 4 cannibalize iPhone sales and a serious difficulty in line with production supply. This combined with the typical seasonally weaker third quarter, consumers continued to demands.Â, Apple had the introduction of the white iPhone 4.a For a time delay, Apple customers made to wait for three weeks before he was one phone. More than likely, Apple's internal estimate of sales to production low. your supply chain was not willing to work with the keep up demand.

Drawing from the lessons learned from the total revenue graph, we can come to an optimistic statement about iPhone sales. since 2010 were in the third quarter, figures comparable with the first and second quarter, you can argue, correctly, that iPhone sales are seasonally high, and this is actually a good omen for the next few quarters.Â

There is more on profitability than the iPhone Apple iPhone sales themselves. makes a significant amount of money on software applications such as music and entertainment media that is downloaded into the iPhone. profits from the iPhone so not a single event, but instead they repeat throughout the life of product. for example, Apple's music sales in the second quarter of 2010 was almost billion. This is a big part of the company revenue. Apple is also making money for advertising on the iPhone and the sale of software applications.

There's more to the story than this iPhone.  Shaw Wu of the prestigious Kaufman Brothers expects 62 million iPhone sales in 2011. 8000000-12000000 new units of the new Verizon wireless network can come iPhone. This alone should be 5% to 10% on Apple's earnings per Add share. He writes that he does not see the BlackBerry 6 on Verizon's network, such as eating too much iPhone sales.

Apple will continue to-AT & T as a provider and Verizon. expansion of Verizon's network could not to a more appropriate time.A Consumer Reports recently stated that the AT & T's mobile network rated the worst mobile phone network for customer satisfaction come .  No doubt many consumers have been waiting to buy iPhones until they network. on another phone, this should also drive iPhone sales were markedly.

What about iPhone competition?  analyst writes for the Wall Street Journal, saying that Apple is aware of competition from other phone manufacturers, such as Google Android. conclude that Apple is a new, smaller iPhone screen to create, to the low-end market consumption, and Apple is probably the iPhone's features into the set iPad. In fact, the iPad technology. already AT & T 3G Network This larger screen iPad / iPhone is the top end of the line.

While these are unfounded rumors of Apple, you can bet that Apple is working very hard to get new features into the iPhone to be innovative and they will not wait for their competition to develop new features Apple has a history in first. the development of innovative and quality products, the consumer expectations.  It is certainly more than the iPhone, this tradition of innovation. Apple still has a year earlier than all other competitors in the smartphone market place. Most analysts agree that Apple should keep its edge through 2011th

Â

iPad

Based on the iPhone, iPad is the new kid in town. Apple already has three models of notebook computers, the MacBook, MacBook and MacBook Pro laptops Air. All these keyboards with flip up screen. The iPad is have different .  The iPad does not have a flip up top or keyboard. keyboards can be connected to the USB port as option. Most people see the iPad is a new breed of computers called tablet computer. Because of the novelty of the iPad, is it difficult, not based on the sales history. This means we can offer some favorable conclusions for Apple and the forecasts are iPad.

Â

To be sure, the iPad is one of the most successful new products for years.  Apple's first building to be constructed 7.1 million units for 2010. This is according to analysts at iSuppli, a respected analyst of technology iSuppli. companies. Now iSuppli sees Apple iPad produced 12.9 million for 2010, 36, 5 million units for 2011 and 50.4 million units in 2012. This is phenomenal growth for a new product. This is especially exciting when you give to Apple's executives said that more money is for the iPad by selling advertising space , applications, music and video media are made, then the realization subunits themselves.

iSuppli projects sales to increase production of NAND memory chips and the iPad iPad large LCD screens. you go to be used to the Apple is planning on adding new features to the iPad say, like a camera and larger screen sizes .  you explain, are based, that Apple is currently 84% of the tablet market and they expect Apple to maintain this market share to maintain until 2011.

I assume a 0 price tag for the typical iPad sales and a 21.5% margin, which is typical for Apple. only iPad sales alone makes this nearly 4 billion in additional non-profits for Apple in 2011. This even remember include software and media distribution!  Take a look at the gross-receipts plots above and tell me, now you're not just alone on excited. iPad sales, Apple's sales growth trend line continues for 2011!

Â

Other issues and conclusion

In addition to Apple's iPhone and iPad has a complete line of PCs, laptops and their ever-famous music iPod. Gartner, a highly respected market forecasting companies predicted that PC sales will continue to rise in 2011, compared to 2010. This fits with other The consensus economic forecasts. economic forecast for 2011 is for the U.S. GDP to grow by 3.3% compared to annually. projected 2010 growth of 2.5%.  Apple has sold well, even in a challenging economic power in 2010.  Picture Only what Apple is doing when the economy back closer to normal.

By Apple's success, Apple has very little debt. Value Line rates their finances as A + +.  On a cash reserve of billions of dollars. sit out as much cash in the fact that seemingly are crazy rumors circulating. The Wall Street Journal reported that Apple is considering a huge takeover sometime in the next year to stop it speculates Apple to Adobe, Disney or even Sony. The last two decisions to make very much sense to buy is because it gives Apple access to music and video media. Who does what Apple is finally using its war chest of money. not know, Apple will probably do something very bold in the course of 2011. This adds more excitement to their holdings in share price increases.

Apple has just a 52-week high reached above 0 a share on 6 December 2010. I have many investors asking me not Apple's stock is too high?  Yes, I give the share price intimidating. However, most brokerages do not charge additional fees for the purchase of small remaining stocks of Apple shares. What is even more important for investment value is what Apple's price-earnings ratio. Apple's trailing PE was 21.13 on 6 December 2010. Given Apple's explosive growth and the fact that PE data looks backward in time from six months to a year, Apple is very reasonable compared to priced. on the same day, lower than Google in the Apple PE was!  From this point of view, Apple is a better buy.

Apple's stock has risen about 65% compared to the year just stop with the iPad, and iPhone sales alone, Apple will throw in 2011. incredible profits for other Apple computers, laptops, new OS, mobile software applications, entertainment, media and make them are set to achieve record growth again for 2011. further. Bring in a healthier economy and the 2011 U.S. turbocharging is Apple's profit due to the recent addition of Apple shares weigh price, they play a good value for the next few quarters to offer.
