Okay Henny Penny :-), if having better products and tons of cash won’t stop you from worrying about a company’s health, what will?

patrickwilliamwalker:

The difference is that Apple makes things that people want to buy. Generous Motors made things that they wanted to sell. There is a difference. A huge difference.

I have to say I have long-term worries about Apple, and for the broader economy as a whole. Having better products or tons of cash doesn’t make even the largest titans of industry immune. *cough* GM *cough*. Maybe the prospects of long term unemployment is making my cynical and to those that say an education is the key to your future needs to reevaluate that belief.

[...] Daniel Eran Dilger: At $143.4 billion, Apple’s market capitalization is now higher than HP ($100.2B) and Dell ($27.3B) combined. Market cap is a company’s outstanding shares multiplied by the market-determined price per share. [...]

And even though the true worth is in reverse proportion or much greater, Apple is almost 70% of the market cap of that dinosaur, Microsoft.

One day the world is going to wake up.
