However, Apple is one of the few stocks I own that has not lost about 50% of its value in the last year. -- Waddling Eagle World Famous Flight Instructor

That, and the fact that the Mac is at the highest market share it has ever been. Windows 7 might slow that growth some. Some analysts are saying that Apple may go to $500/share.
