As a value investor I have always avoided stocks in the spotlight like Mcdonald's Or Apple computer. Although they may be very good companies their not great value stocks. The problem that I see with stocks like apple computer and Mcdonalds is that the expectations for these companies are so very high so even a modest downward revision of future earnings and sales expectations can cause a huge drop in the price of the shares. Most everyone buying apple computer and Mcdonalds are basing their decision on the future expectations of earnings and sales. Is their really a way for anyone to peer into the future with any high degree of certainty.
