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."
Exact;y WHAT monopoly is that, Wonder Warthog? Computers? Cellphones? Music Players? What? How did "Apple PC was and remains a small niche player in the PC market" result in creating a company that became more valuable than Exxon Mobile or more valuable than every business in Russia or have more cash on hand than the United States Government or a greater net worth than 85 nations. . . combined? Exactly WHAT monopoly? Please elucidate. How did he enforce this monopoly? What weapon of the monopolist did he use? What companies did he force out of business through predatory low pricing?
In exactly WHAT MARKET did Apple have a monopoly? Apple products? That's like saying that Ford Motor Company has a monopoly on Ford Cars and Trucks. Or that Wonder Warthog has a monopoly on Wonder Warthog's labor.
