In Sept 2008, Buffett invested 5B in GS, two months later, GS hit a low of 47 bucks from 130+.
Waiting for the BAC bailout.
I rather buy RIMM than BAC.
Unique, WB did not especially get into GS for the share price, it was the special dividend that he was going to get. You have to also remember that they were not shares, they were of the preferred warrants. It is also why GS paid through the nose to get out of the deal this spring. The one thing I have learned over the past couple of years is that it is easy for outsiders to make claims about these banks that are just not true. Good grief, if Meredith Whitney is warming to BAC, Bac can’t be that bad. No stock should ever trade below book value.The key is do you believe in the book value of BAC?
It seems that BAC’s book is the most obscure among big banks. Their goodwill + intangible are larger than their cap. -

:-o “Goodwill” should NEVER be used in the same post as BAC.

True. But for some reason, anything leaving Meredith’s mouth isn’t worth taking to the bank, so to speak. Too, book value assumes that its liabilities are properly stated. I’m not convinced they are but we will see. I’m looking to exit at $8.50 per share.

This is worth posting again and it has been updated. This probably could have been one of us growing up. And one of the pics has Steve sporting the biggest smile I’ve ever seen from him. It warms the heart.

AAPL: to boldly go where no stock has gone before

Thanks for the link. The analysis is from a contributing author, Dirk Schmidt, rather than Horace. Horace’s brilliance is nearly impossible to match. It seems he’ll be publishing analysis from others, by the way, on a regular basis. I’d love to see some of DT’s/RL’s work in that venue.

My knee-jerk reaction to the article (did Asymco write it or the new contributor?) is that it completely, utterly ignores Q2 and the ongoing Q3. “Average” P/E analysis? I can tell you one thing, we’re not anywhere near 18 now. How about what Apple’s trading for, right now?

Great story. I read it as Alan Jackson was singing “Remember When” on my iTunes. Yes it warms the heart and jerks the tears. Thanks for posting.

The byline is Dirk Schmidt’s. As a Mav guy, you should at least like his first name. The analysis seemed superficial. Horace sees very deeply into things.

That was funny.
And no. You could also say that as an Apple fan, I should at least NOT like…nevermind.
asymco, it’s fine that your estimates were on the low side this quarter, particularly for iPhone. But what is with that last article (which has no byline)? Apple’s P/E has tanked to 15.18 and “average P/E” will grossly distort AAPL’s valuation disrespect.

I liked Horace’s comment on Apple 2.0s blog about Dvorak the other day. I was less impressed with his EPS #s the last 2 quarters, so if he’s outsourcing it now then good for him.

Seems like terribly flawed analysis given the astounding difference in earning growth between Apple and its “competitors”.
JMO, a more insightful analysis would be to use PEG as the comparison metric.
cheers to the longs

Hell, I’m not even using a P/E of 18 anymore. But that doesn’t mean he’s wrong using it—a P/E of 15 is capitulation.

JohnGNo question that PEG should be used. Sadly, it won’t gain any currency among the talking head simpletons.
