Apple has a target audience of people who want to do certain things ~ not all things ~ just certain things, and that's what they deliver to.
The customer base responds to that.

Only to declare them FUD. He never admits they might be right.

I hear Serious Materials is experiencing phenomenal growth, too.

Not so. Go back and review.

I love my new iPad! :-) What do you use it for mostly? Does the touchscreen work well? I'm somewhat intrigues by it but I don't need another unused toy laying around.

It is so, I’ve seen his cheer-leading for years. All negative articles he or anybody posts he immediately declares FUD. Every single one.

I read a lot of articles, so it’s wonderful being free from a laptop/PC sitting back and relaxing in a nice chair or the couch. Steve Jobs was right about it being just that.

Do you own Apple stock? Full disclosure is appropriate.

The touch screen and screen quality are great!
The speed is also very good with the WiFi here at home.

Swordmaker often posts negative articles about Apple. Can you link one of these negative articles that he does not decry as lies or FUD?

Trolling, trolling ... Getting any bites?

You are welcome to research. But I can assure you I will not exert the time on your command.

Classic bubble... Lower revenue, lower profits, lower profit margin than Microsoft, yet a higher P/E and valuation. Add in the fact that Apple’s losing market share to Android, after barely breaking into the top 3 in terms of phones, and it’s in a bubble.
Yeah, the Apple fans will come on here and shout me down about how it’s all about profits; but what about Microsoft and Google, both of which have higher profit margins than Apple?
Apple’s really good at marketing their latest iMustHave to their existing customer base, and churning that cash on the same group. But their actual penetration in the smartphone market - or PC/computer market - is virtually unchanged over the years. They’re a bit player in both.
