I don’t need to show you diddly squat about my portfolio. I assure you I’ve been trading stocks long before you. And made far more than one might imagine.
Companies come and go. Arrogance is not a good way to play the market. Many companies have taken the top spot, only to be dethroned a short time later.
Apple may have taken the prize from HTC. But HTC took the prize from Nokia. And Nokia took the prize from Qualcomm. And Qualcomm took the prize from Motorola. The list continues.
Bottom line: complacency is the death of technology companies. What has Apple done do curb this?
ROTFLMAO! What are you blithering about? HTC, Nokia, Qualcomm, and Motorola have never, ever been had the records that Apple has been making in Financial numbers. What are you smoking? Nor have they ever been the largest corporation in the world by market cap, or posted the largest revenue of any corporation ever. The numbers of smartphones that Apple sold in one quarter has not been outsold by any company, ever.
Yes, Nokia used to sell the largest number of phones of any manufacturer. HTC was never in the running for that crown as Samsung beat them out for that and still holds that title for yearly sales. You mentioned HP before, but they don't sell phones. Are you referring to computers? Micron? Micron moved on to other products than Flash memory such as SSD drives. They are still doing pretty well in DRAM (Crucial Memory is Micron) and SSDs, so what are you talking about?
Complacency? You claim Apple is complacent, but you have failed to demonstrate any such thing. You are delusional.
Yes, yes, everyone's a millionaire on the internet.
I bet Tim Cook can't sleep at night wondering what you think of his management...
