Hot IT value stocks, with great earnings per share (EPS) growth

Investing in Apple within a volatile stock market

Earnings growth at Apple, based on their first quarter report, is at 70% or so (this has been true for a few years in fact). Even if earnings growth slows to 30% I'm seeing a projected return of about 28% yearly (while earnings growth remains at 30%)

And I do think Apple's product lines warrant this prediction of earnings per share growth over the next five years. For a detailed look at this analysis I have a worksheet available at this link: http://www.hotvaluestocks.com/?q=node/12

I think the market presents some real bargains right now and Apple is definitely one of them. I can't actually predict the future of course, but I think Apple stock still tastes like Apple pie to me ... very tasty. I think you can earn 30% a year on Apple over the next few years, or even better.
