Why You Should Just Buy Apple Already

The following video is part of our "Motley Fool Conversations" series, in which consumer goods editor and analyst Austin Smith discusses topics across the investing world. In today's edition, Austin tells investors why they should stop their hand-wringing and just buy Apple already. Fears about it being able to continue growth after becoming the world's largest publicly traded company are unfounded. Remember, Apple was launched into the stratosphere on rocket-fueled iPhone and iPad sales, not some slow-plodding climb. Yet the company continues to be priced for ho-hum growth in the future. Its forward P/E is less than the S&P 500, and about 20% of its market cap is cold-hard cash. Add into the mix growth catalysts like the iPhone 5, Apple TV, and the Chinese market, and you've got a dirt cheap company with a mountain of cash that's just getting started.

To really understand the magnitude of Apple's growth, investors need to see the larger market they're profiting from. Our top analysts have called it "The Next Trillion-Dollar Revolution." And you can not only read about it, but uncover the hidden mobile-chip play that could make you rich. The best part is that this company isn't tethered to the success or failure of any one product.

    I tend to agree with with the missive from 'happypoordays,' however I wouldn't count them out as of today.

    Their growth lies with the emerging markets, such as the BRICs not with Apple TV. What we need to also understand is that most iPhone 4S users will not make the switch over to the next iteration without any major tangible advantages in the next iteration, which to date I have not seen mentioned.

    What Apple needs to do is focus on making a world phone capable of roaming between FD LTE & TD LTE. Their biggest market no doubt will be China, however without a TD LTE version this will be a tough nut to crack. China Mobile (700 million subs) has more than twice the entire US subscriber base and they have already begun launching their TD version of LTE.

    Apple for the latter two years has been playing catch up with Samsung, HTC and Motorola. Almost every manufacturer of smartphones today boasts having 4G radios, from WiMax to LTE, and numerous other technological advantages, too numerous to mention. With this in mind it would behoove Apple to at least attempt to do something that would be game changing since they have the wherewithal to do so. Google at least does make stides in that direction.
