You obviously don’t know your history. “Too big to fail”. The list is endless. GM. Montgomery Ward. IBM. Lehman Brothers Holdings. MCI WorldCom. Enron. Canseco. CIT. PG&E.

Apple could soon be next. If they don’t get their portfolio expanded.

You need to talk to dennisw. He's been predicting Apple's imminent demise and stock collapse for more years than you've been a member. And I don't think you want to be horning in on his territory.

LOL

IBM? PG&E? Where did you get your REALLY FLAWED information?

IBM — Market Cap $ 162.27 BILLION #23 on the Fortune 500 List 2014

PG&E — Market Cap $ 24.73 BILLION close to its ALL TIME HIGH which it reached just two months ago.

When did these to American Behemoths FAIL? Please, we all want to know when we slept through their spectacular collapse? Do you live in an alternative universe? Oh, wait, you live in the Reality Distortion Field where Apple is about to fail. . . so obviously IBM and PG&E must have failed in THAT REALITY so that it is perfectly rational to believe that Apple is going under! Right. . . sure. . . uh, huh.

PG&E is an interesting one on your list. They get slapped with a huge fine in the billions, and shrug their shoulders. Stock has steadily grown over the years, and is around 52. My wife bought at 8. I've been hearing of Apple's demise for decades. We bought Apple in the teens, and it's split a couple times since. I don't like Oprah, but a long time ago I read that when something hot comes on the market, she doesn't buy the item, she buys the stock. Why whine about a company when you can profit on it?

IBM? IBM Failed?

You mean those dividend checks I've been getting all these years are not real?

IBM is not only "not failed" but is one of the largest and most successful companies on the planet at this time.

I see you have other currently operating companies on your "failed" list as well.

Maybe you need to put down the bong and pick up a Wall Street Journal.
