  Not sure what it says about the rating system when AAPL at 3 stars is the best bet for 2010.

  Congrats to the Apple eaters. :)

  Just one point of clarification, though...

  "It stands to see even further gains, should the bullish case for precious metals play itself out to its full potential."

  The point of my article was to show that Silver Wheaton's strength as an investment does not rely upon silver attaining the lofty $50 price target that I have offered as a likely scenario. To the contrary, Silver Wheaton has ample room to grow shareholder value right here at present silver prices.

  Silver Wheaton is not just a play on silver price expectations. It's a solid value investment even under the most pessimistic of silver price scenarios, and an exciting growth play on the strength of its unique business model and robust free cash flow.

  Fool on!

  At a 2 star rating?

  Up 500% for 2009 is under rated. I like it for another year of great drugs and profits. I'm all in for a split or a take over.

  Last time I checked, Apple had a market cap of about $190 billion. Where's the big upside? They're great, but they're attracting competition in phones, and their real nemesis could be Verizon, which manages to stomp on innovation in cell phones in the U.S.

  It seems like this crowd votes for last year's winners. Isn't the idea to pick a company that's been out of fashion, but could be on its way up?

  I like OSG: Overseas Shipholding Group. Insiders bought through last year; the market cap is $1.3B;

  Cash + Short Term Inv: $633M; Equity: $1.85M

  Dividend Yield: 3.59%; price has been trending up and annual evenue #s in billions has been: 811 1,000 1,047 1,129 1,705. That's a pretty solid story.

  I love to rub it in that you all missed the boat, I recommended ILMN at 30 and look at that 39 finish today.

  And ILMN also has a 4 star S&P rating.

  I think ILMN is more futuristic looking than any of your picks. CRM is right up there with it and I believe is ripe for backing up the semi at 65 or lower.

  As a Mac programmer and AAPL holder, this is gratifying. But Austrian economics (see mises.org) warns of the danger of currency debasement inherent in current US policy (and the existence of the Fed), and TMFSinchiruna has convinced me that silver, gold, silver royalties, and gold miners are a decent answer to that threat.

  AAPL has great expectations priced into it, thus the three-star rating. I'm holding, pretty convinced this great company will meet those expectations. But I'm accumulating SLW.

  Let's not forget about healthcare. $20B in Obama-backs has been granted to purchase Electronic Health Record systems and it's all going to a handful of companies like Allscripts (MDRX) and Athenahealth (ATHN) who will be signing contracts to beat the band this year so folks can have systems in place by 2011.

  There are numerous small caps that may or may not make bigger moves but they are invariably somewhat speculative. I think AAPL will be a reliable performer in 2010. FCX has a lot going for it in the next year: weak dollar, appreciating gold prices and copper to take advantage of economic growth world-wide.

  ABAT is my top pick for 2010. Not only has this little sucker been growing hand over fist the past few years. I believe, they are to be the battery maker for the new Apple tablet. So add that to the mix of agendas.. We have a mixture for massive growth potential this year..
