Jobs was indeed a very wise and a true, free market capitalist despite your wailings.

Jobs molded Apple into a high profit margin enterprise while eschewing market penetration. This led to Apple becoming the WEALTHIEST CORPORATION IN THE WORLD.

Now THAT is free market capitalism!!!!

Your comments were simple explanations of his “toys” - and exposed your lack of understanding of Business 101 - developing a strategic plan to maximize corporate weath for the owners.

Obviously, people who owned Apple stock became very wealthy...via free market capitalism of Apple.

Facts aren't wailings.....

"Jobs molded Apple into a high profit margin enterprise while eschewing market penetration. This led to Apple becoming the WEALTHIEST CORPORATION IN THE WORLD. Now THAT is free market capitalism!!!!

As I said....of the John D. Rockefeller type...a monopolist rather than a competitor.

"Your comments were simple explanations of his “toys” - and exposed your lack of understanding of Business 101 - developing a strategic plan to maximize corporate weath for the owners."

WHAT strategic plan?? What Jobs succeeded at was generating NEW market segments, not by competition within existing ones. The Apple PC was and remains a small niche player in the PC market.

"Obviously, people who owned Apple stock became very wealthy...via free market capitalism of Apple."

As did those who invested in the Standard Oil of old "John D."

I bought Apple stock when it was in the teens and twenties. Split multiple times. I couldn't convince others to buy, because they were so convinced Apple was going to disappear. They're very angry people now.
