How Apple Stock Should Be Valued: P/FCF

A few of my readers have asked me to valuate and place price targets on shares of Apple, Inc. (Nasdaq: AAPL).

I continue to be quite cautious about publishing such an analysis for a number of reasons. First, a shrewd day trader once told me that issues touching on whether and when to buy, sell or hold a stock should be left to the individual investor to consider with their own professional financial advisors. My goal as a financial journalist is to contribute certain thoughts and insights which might help investors form their own opinions as to the merits of different investment strategies - it is not my purpose to make such recommendations in and of themselves.
