Sorry for the punt in the title. 

This is more to Samsung vs Apple. As we all can see, Apple has been the crown prince of Nasdaq where its market cap is close to US$623.5 billion, closing on a record high of $665.15 on Monday! Microsoft didn't even come near during the 1999 dot-com boom for the record. 

Now back to Samsung - interestingly they have become a very powerful force over the past few years with consumer electronics ranging from LCD TVs, monitors and their most powerful product, their mobile phone series. It has been rivaling the iPhone since it came out and pretty much the only big contender against Apple (this is my personal view!). 

Now which is more worthwhile to put your money in? More analysis would need to be done before we can say anything but take a look at this article which probably give you some insight on the two giants.

Samsung Electronics may not be able to lay claim to being the world's most valuable company ever, a feat accomplished on Monday by its rival Apple, but the South Korean maker of smartphones to TVs is a better buy, according to one analyst.

Mark Newman Senior Analyst, Global Memory & Consumer Electronics at Sanford C. Bernstein says while Apple [AAPL  665.15    17.04  (+2.63%)  ] may be the more valuable company, Samsung's stock is cheaper and therefore more attractive.

"Samsung is a much bigger company [than Apple] in terms of revenues, assets and in terms of employees. But Apple's P/E (price to earnings ratio) is much, much higher than Samsung's. Samsung is quite cheap right now," Newman told CNBC's "Cash Flow" on Tuesday.

Nasdaq listed Apple is trading at 12.6 times forward earnings, while Seoul listed Samsung at 7.5 times, making now a good time to buy the stock, according to Newman.

A recent report from technology research house Gartner showed Apple is still lagging Samsung in terms of market share in the global smartphone sector. Samsung's global market share rose to 21.6 percent in the second quarter of this year from 16.3 percent a year ago, while Apple's slice of the pie increased to a more modest 6.9 percent from 4.6 percent in the same quarter of 2011.
