Investors Grapple With Core Reality of Apple

By STEVEN RUSSOLILLO
January 17, 2013

As shares of Apple Inc. tumbled below $500 this week, Daniel Genter 
and his colleagues at RNC Genter Capital Management started worrying 
they had made a mistake.

The Los Angeles firm had bought Apple in mid-December in the low 
$500-range, its first foray into the stock. Analysts there figured 
that a decline in the shares had made it cheap enough for a value 
investor like RNC Genter.

But this week's drop sparked "a change of thinking," Mr. Genter said. 
As the shares fell below $500, analysts met to discuss whether the 
firm should sell and cut its losses.

In the end, RNC Genter elected to keep its position in Apple for now. 
"We haven't made any decisions yet, but we're assessing the 
situation," he said.

RNC Genter's dilemma is widespread. Investors large and small are 
grappling with what could be a watershed moment for Apple. In many 
fund managers' eyes, the recent decline could mark Apple's 
transformation from a fleet-of-foot growth stock-one that is seen as 
risky but whose growth prospects could lead to big gains-to a more 
plodding value stock-one that trades at a low price relative to 
earnings and offers regular payments such as dividends.

After a rocky 2012, everything is coming up roses for Verizon
Communications and AT&T, and the bloom could last for much of the
year.

In the quarterly reports they will release this week, Verizon (VZ) and
AT&T (T) will likely indicate their increasing dominance in the
U.S. cellular market.
