  2. Re:Could be the best thing... on Dell Going Private In $24.4 Billion Agreement · · Score: 2

    Apple was constrained on most of their products last quarter, which lead to their 'poor' 20% revenue growth (for a >$200B revenue company!)

    It's Wall Street who is essentially devaluing AAPL with a low PE.

    If AAPL had a PE the same that AT&T did (which grows much slower, but a bigger dividend and much smaller earnings) then AAPL's price would be around $1250.
    Which shows how Wall Street actually punishes AAPL for not playing the analyst game.

    This is an interesting question.

    Could it be that other banks weren't willing to give Dell reasonable rates due to their business performance?

    No idea, but that seems a reasonable assumption.

    In case you don't want to go click it, here's TFS:
    "In an experiment conducted by a Princeton University team, 'Rats with access to high-fructose corn syrup gained significantly more weight than those with access to table sugar, even when their overall caloric intake was the same.' Long-term consumption also 'led to abnormal increases in body fat, especially in the abdomen, and a rise in circulating blood fats called triglycerides.' Psychology professor Bart Hoebel commented that 'When rats are drinking high-fructose corn syrup at levels well below those in soda pop, they're becoming obese — every single one, across the board. Even when rats are fed a high-fat diet, you don't see this; they don't all gain extra weight.'"

    Not to mention that the $10.8B number is sales revenue, not earnings. So it's NOT how much they make in a quarter.

    They actually only earned $97M last quarter. Or $7.5M per week or $1M per day. Or $41,000 per hour.
