Bubbles are about companies that have no right to be so overvalued, like many of the companies in the dot.com bubble. There was also a huge bubble in the real estate market, where banks had huge numbers of mortgages, yet, with little value to a lot of them. The banks were riding high, but, from phony products.

You and that other guy want to keep up the Apple charade, then, more power to you. Apple is still a company with a huge bubble, and not from the ration of earnings vs market cap. Apple is a huge bubble because, they don’t really have the product line(s) to keep up the earnings, and Apple also can’t survive another economic meltdown with no diversification in products and services. iPHones alone is not a goog long-term strategy, and their other services are all dependent on iPhones continuing to have huge sales, which is still not a good strategy for long-term success.

I know it’s hard to see beyond the current huge earnings, and it’s also very hard for you and that other guy to see beyond your love for Apple, but, Apple is a bubble of astronomical proportions. People are investing on the strength of iPhone sales, but, that won’t be enough to secure long-term success.

But, like I’ve already said, you can risk your money and your love on Apple as much as you want. I’m a lot more practical.

You really don't have a clue. Apple went through the last melt down of the Stock market without a reduction and even climbed to $700 a share while every other stock was tanking. You keep beating your dead horse. You keep on repeating the same litany of falsehoods demonstrating you don't know anything about Apple's product lines. Why? You've been told by multiple people multiple times. Don't you bother to read the replies?

You keep claiming the iPhone will fail "any time now" when it has been going strong for eight years. . . and actually is getting stronger and stronger. Reaching a record sales in the last quarter unseen by any other smartphone before. Yet you keep beating on you rotting corpse of a dead horse.

I am going to repeat. You simply DO NOT UNDERSTAND what a stock bubble or any price bubble is. Perhaps this time it will get through your apparently thick skull made of lignum vitae. A Bubble is a stock price of a company with a stock price far beyond the justification of any earnings of the company. That is all a bubble is. Apple is selling at 15-16 times earnings while other companies in the industries Apple competes in are selling for 27 to 70 times their earnings. THOSE are the stocks that may be bubbles. . . especially the ones with PEs of 70 or more.
