This is a bubble and sooner or later it will pop. When market value starts running on perception vs established assets and marketshare and theres going to be trouble. Dot com bust, housing and now Apple.

That doesn't mean that there still isn't a play here. Apple stock may still have legs.
#2: At a current P/E ratio of ~24:1 don't count on Apple stock to go much higher. The P/E ratio may go up to 28:1 around which point it will drop as profit taking occurs and people stop being infatuated with everything Apple. In fact, the US stock market is walking on eggs and is due for a correction this summer. If and when this occurs, Apple will fall farther than MSFT since Apple is currently priced at a near 50% premium using P/E as a guide.
My crystal ball just went fuzzy. Time to buy a new Apple iBall. May instead I'll pick up one of the new MS Prognostication Clarifier Home Edition devices. The MS one is half the price of the Apple, but has a base made of plastic and doesn't allow double finger swipes to zoom in on the future faster.
AAPL has a higher trajectory in terms of revenue, income, and margins than that of MSFT. So, APPL's stock is being bought while MSFT's stock - not so much.
