Apple's problem is that like every tech coy, you must continue to drive new innovations (I dont envy them at all) The Samsungs and other smaller techs firms in China have really dealth them serious blow most especially in Asia where there is a far larger market.
As for Facebook, I still dont rate them too high until i see them able to generate income from advertisements on the mobile phobes and tablets! I think they were just overflogged by panicky investors in the first place.

Agreed; the numbers do not tell the whole story but they do tell you a lot when you know what they stand for.
No matter how much you know and understand about any formula, if you do not know what the figures they give you tell you about the company, then you will be at a loss as to how to apply them profitably.
For a company in a competitive industry that releases its quaterly results in a timely manner. The turnover, cost of sales, operating profit, cash received from customers etc tell you a lot. If competitors are having a upper hand you will see it there in the figures. If they are finding it difficult to push their products from the ware-house, it shows, if distributors are having problems getting it to end-users it shows, if they are spending much on adverts and promotions it shows. Then there is also R&D for a company that wants to keep the cutting edge in a competitive industry.
E.g for high-tech coys, you will do well to watch these metrics in their reports.
