David.. Sharpe's investment provides alot of details on the equity mkt...the dividend discount model is used for utilities, etc with tech firms...we principally use earnings...because the assumption is that the company will reinvest internal funds to grow earnings and someday AAPL will issue dividends...that is everyone's assumption when they buy a share that does not pay dividend...dividend discount model is related to earnings or cashflow models (they are the same)...different measures for different firms at different stages of their existence... I think paying attention to valuation is extremely important IMO...I recommend using PE vs growth rate (industry or company) and adjusting for risk by lowing PE or growth rate to your desire comfort...its simple and even hedge funds use this measure CPQ did not pay dividends before but does now good luck...and its best to be informed than to ignore IMO
