    mono - yes, I think they'll keep making money, Beats makes money, but the stock will eventually taper off and stagnate if they can't keep revolutionizing an industry and/or coming up with top tier products (which Beats is not part of).
    For a stock to run, there has to be interest and momentum. Look at Tesla and Netflix. Look at Google - they keep raking in the cash AND they are pushing for new industries. Then look at other tech stocks like Sony, that have faltered. Look at Microsoft (and it is moving now that there is some innovation), their innovation tapered off ages ago and the stock stagnated for 10 years, yet they make money.

    Apple is pretty late to the bet! They tried their hand with iRadio (or whatever it was called), that was already years late. What do I know, though, is I won't buy anything with a Beats logo (or association). Teens will, but they are fickle, so when the next fad hits Beats will be put down.

    My 2cents. They'll make a ton off of the first round of the iPhone6 simply off of momentum, but that will change. The S5 is very nice, HTC is very nice, G3 looks amazing and they all move so much faster than Apple.

    Again, $3billion for "talent" seems absurd. I can understand that $60mill or whatever it was for Burberry's CEO, but I can't understand this.

    Who knows, it'll be entertaining to watch (assuming the deal gets finalized).
