You “believe”? And what “mistake” would that be?
More market capitalization than Exxon ?? (or close depending on the day)
How is that any kind of mistake?
Apple is not about “blanket” “Marketshare”.
If you have 99% of the marketshare and only make 1% profit on those, and I have 1% marketshare but make 99% profits on my product, we are TIED.
And on paper, for stockholders and investors, Apple and Microsoft ARE tied and Apple beats Dell, Acer, Gateway, etc to a plup!
You don’t see Dell Stock ready to trade at $400 a share.
That isn’t faith... it’s just good simple logistics.
You change the subject. I’m not talking about current market cap, I’m talking about product development choices and their impact on future market position.
In the long run the guy at the top always make a mistake. I suggest you read “How the Mighty Fall”. No corporation is ever too big to fail. If you make poor business choices they will eventually bite you. My take is that long term Apple is making business choices that will marginalize their position in the mobile phone space. You can argue current market cap all day...I’m talking about what will be happening in ten years.
By the way, you seem to have taken my comments personally. Do you work for Apple or have some emotional connection to them? Apple has shown a distinct preference for closed systems since its inception. Remember how they killed their own clone market? Apple sells hardware...the future is software. If you get your software in every ecosystem and dominate...you win.
