the point really is - all the companies that are sitting on top of the world for a few years, better look in the rear view mirror. somthing is coming.
Remember AOL? they seemed impregnable for a time
Remember Blockbuster? They were on every corner, seemingly invincible?
Remember Microsoft? They defined Tech for a period of time.- Microsoft is still doing incredible well.rootlock
- SO well. Their stock price is exactly what it was in 2000.monospaced
- exactly. And they just had a record quarter.rootlock
- Apple had what, like, 10 record quarters and they're failing? Microsoft has their first and they're doing well?monospaced
- apple is failing? don't think so. Microsoft 2012 profit 6 b.rootlock
- Exactly, Apple's not failing, but you wouldn't know that after reading hundreds of articles saying they are done.monospaced
- Apple posted $36 in one quarter, 6x more than MS in an entire year.monospaced
- I don't how anyone can agree with how companies like AOL and MS have fallen from grace, and not see that the same will eventually happen to Apple.ETM
- stock value isn't the only indicator of a healthy company.plash
- same will happen to Apple. It only comes down to whether companies can climb up again after a dip.ETM
- It's not an endless rise and/or plateau. It's always a wave. Anyone understanding business or stocks knows this.ETM
- @plash... you bastard. Don't interrupt! :)ETM
- lol sorryplash
- Microsoft pays enormous dividends. It's a better stock to hold if you want profit.zarkonite
- Yes. 13c is huge compared to apples $2+monospaced
- It depends short term vs long-term and if Apple will continue to offer dividends.ETM
