No worries :). I've been playing with stocks lately so am aware of a lot of potential misconceptions [esp. around the raw share price, vs. market cap and P/E being indicators of value]. Apple very well could depreciate in value if their earnings slip. That would put its P/E in the bottom half of the S&P 500 (historically Apple's P/E has been around 15, it's around ~14 now).
