Chris,

Too busy to do the research on xom and since I am not invested in oil stocks, I can't say I know much about them. But just looking up xom earnings quickly, while good, they have been all over the place the past several years and seem highly dependent on the price of oil which has been highly speculative and also dependent on politics both here and abroad. So i am not sure how to really value xom.

For Apple, the quick answer for my valuation is 15X earnings(even though it has been growing faster than that for the past several years) which look like they should hit at least $30 a share soon plus about $80 per share in cash. If the market should happen to give Apple a pe of 20 based on future growth prospects and/or Apple's future earnings grow to $40 a share, a much higher price is obtainable IMO.

I am not sure what enterprise value is or how to calculate it so maybe you could educate me as to your figures for Apple.
