This week's free download is our report on Apple (AAPL).Apple Computer, Inc. designs, manufactures and markets personal computers and related personal computing and communicating solutions for sale primarily to education, creative, consumer, and business customers. The internets are once again awash in speculation about APPLE. Rumours abound concerning new products like the iPhone 5, the long-rumoured Apple HDTV, and the iPad mini. As usual, the stock continues to perform and our model likes to buy the slight dips. As of this writing, Bloomberg is reporting that Apple has just set September 12th as the day it will announce the new iPhone5. New products are confirmed by the fact that Apple has been doling out LOTS of cash to secure supply chains for new product lines. It has now made pre-payments totaling more than $1 billion to suppliers for components.

Sponsored AdUniCore Holdings


It's no secret to investors that China is now the second-largest-- and fastest-growing --economy in the world. The growth potential is massive and outpaces that of the other socalled "BRIC" nations--Brazil, Russia, and India. However, despite the well-known potential, Chinese markets are often difficult to access for the average investor. What is the best way to identify promising companies and put your money to work? A solution for some may be an investment in UniCoreHoldings (UCHC). UniCore Holdings invests in micro-cap Chinese businesses with the potential for strong growth and high returns. UniCore owns or controls a variety of Chinese firms that encompass all of the opportunities and growth potential of China. An investment in UniCore provides access to the dynamic Chinese economy which has grown an average of @10%/year for the past 30 years!

What's Hot--Market Valuation


It's time for our monthly look at our overall market valuation figures. The ValuEngine Valuation Model tracks more than 8000 US equities, ADRs, and foreign stock which trade on US exchanges. The model calculates a level of mispricing or valuation percentage for each equity based on what the stock should be worth if the market were totally rational and efficient--an academic exercise to be sure, but one which allows for useful comparisons between equities, sectors, and industries. We use this metric to get an overall snapshot of the market and to discern if stocks are a bargain or overpriced. In the past, the valuation figures have correlated fairly well to market tops and have signaled impending pull backs. Whenever we see overvaluation levels in excess of @ 60% for the overall universe, we issue a valuation watch. We do not have a similar metric for the undervaluation levels, but we generally find that when stock sare calculated to be more than 75% undervalued overall it is time to do some bargain hunting. Subscribers Get FULL ACCESS to our Market and Sector Overviews In the chart below, you can see that our Valuation Model finds that the market is in a range of undervaluation just above what we would consider "normal." We cannot really say that things are at a level where stocks may be considered "cheap." Back in early June we had levels around 80% but since then they have receded and keep flirting with "normal" range. From this chart it sure seems as though "Sell in May and Go Away" may not hold this year--the S&P 500 is up 6% since June 1st., but that is to be expected when there is a US presidential election.

For reference, here is a longer-term chart which tracks the metrics back to March, 2010. Note that undervaluation levels peaked in excess of 90% last Summer.

And finally, here is the chart tracking the levels back to March, 2007. As you can see, elevated undervaluation levels can persist for long periods of time.

We will continue to watch and track our valuation metrics so that we may add to our data set.
