Now everyone seems to want an iPAD despite its inferiority to the Android Tabs and Playbook. The first mover advantage is at work as developers are more keen to cater the needs of the iPAD instead of its rivals.
What is the value of APPLE?
Unimaginable Earnings Power Value. Using the Graham Dodd's method of valuation, it seems that APPLE franchise value is unbeatable. The earnings from its iPHONE and iPAD have proven to be able to last for the next 5 to 10 years.
Investors have to keep watch of any signs of decline in iOS interest so as not to suffer the same fate as investors of Blackberry's RIMM.
There is growth in AAPL as evident by the countless attempts to innovate -- the iMESSAGE that is trying to beat and kill the Blackberry messenger once and for all;.. the iCloud - an attempt to convert PC users to APPLE fans since many PC users are still using Windows 7 and constantly refuse to convert to MAC.
And all this growth benefits from the competitive advantage of AAPL's franchise value.
AAPL stock has already risen to $330 and beyond, the margin of safety has decreased by a significant amount, but it is still relatively safe to invest in this tech giant as the future of APPLE remains positive.
Value investors are hoping for a 16% annual compound growth for this giant.
