I wish I would have invested over the past year. IMHO Apple has been low risk, particularly compared to some other stocks I've been interested in. Fortunately for me I've been paranoid, so I missed out on some Apple gains but I also avoided some VERY steep drops on some other stocks I'm now in on. This discussion is moot. The past is not the determining factor for the next few months.

Objective measures include extraordinary strength of balance sheet, Apple's premium brand value, its ecosystem of products and services, its below market multiples on various measures including cash flow and earnings, and the undervalued optionality in its cash and liquid securities position, to name a few. Apple has been a tremendous investment over the past 20 months as the market put it on sale. For the record, more than a few august names in investing undoubtedly have considered the preceding objective measures similarly and have expressed their "opinion" publicly. In layman's parlance you can interpret "AAPL is a "no brainer" as "Apple has extraordinary risk adjusted performance characteristics."
