GOOG or AAPL?


guk6kk said: "Hello, For those of you that don't know GOOG just had a good partnership with Viacom and MySpace.com. This will provide to google more advertising revenue in the upcoming months and especially around Nov-Dec. Apple just released a new series of desktops with its latest Intel chips, and reported a 12% market share in laptops. What do you guys think? Go for GOOG or AAPL?"

Harry said: "Apple seems a bit peaked. And we have rough economic days ahead. GOOG looks like a good trade but I'd let is slide lower....It's awful expenisve though. How about YHOO??? :cool:"

guk6kk said: "YHOO will lose a BIG market share now that MySpace will deliver searches via Google. Why? MySpace is the 4th most visited site in the world and it currently has around 16% of US internet traffic with 100million registered users...impressive eh? I wish I had 50,000$ to invest ;)."

Harry said: "Rupert Murdoch/ News Corporation was genius for buying MySpace."

guk6kk said: "indeed. He just paid $580bn for a site worth more than $10bn. Why $10bn? Friendster refused $1bn offer from YHOO and is looking for $2bn and is also very small compared to MySpace."

(like paypal) APPL is good also but i think apple is good for the longterm... at least safer than goog for the longterm 2+ years.. i think they will slowly grow and grow"

BenHouston said: "I'd go with GOOG as well... by the looks of it GOOG is going to BE the internet"

DBishop said: "I like both of them. GOOG can enter almost any software arena they choose & I’m sure they will come out a winner. They are expensive with a P/E 55.42. You can loose alot but the recent news has been great for them. AAPL is great also. I’m not sure what they will be doing for the Christmas season, but when their phones come out, it will be great buisness. I think that having to restate their earnings won’t help their price.

AAPL is using them and is doing good. Dell is down and using AMD. Time will tell. Tks DB"

lb19984 said: "Dell is only using amd only on a few of their servers which is like 2% of all their processors used in all their systems. I think Dell is gonna bounce backkkkkkk"

Mr. Gekko said: "Tough call. GOOG has such a high multiple... what is it now? 53?! Wow! The trend seems to be that high multiple stocks are being crushed... SBUX, WFMI and HANS have all gotten crushed lately... is GOOG next? On the other hand, AAPL has that back dated options thing going on. Wait, let me see what their multiple is... it's 29. Still high for a slowing economy. I see Harry suggested YHOO... what about AMD? I've watched it lately, it seems it's finally bottomed... and it has a lower multiple, 20."

Darren said: "Caution with both of these. It's best to look for the next growth story, bot the current one."
