[citation][nom]wemakeourfuture[/nom]Depends on your definition of bigger. If it means as a company, market cap, profit, they definitely are bigger than Microsoft and Intel combined. But its most likely not going to be sustained over the long haul, but Intel is having its troubles so in 5 years from now who knows, but I doubt Apple will be bigger than both combined.[/citation]
Whatever dude. You can make yourself look huge on paper with tons of fiat money, but in the reall world, this is what apple has: A gadget, and several versions of it.
Look, apple has nearly ZERO penetration in the business market. That is important to long lasting gains... thats why IBM, Intel, Xerox, etc etc etc are still around despite being hardly words that kids spew out when they go out to wal mart with mommy and daddy...
Face it, Apples' iCrap is just a fad, that ALOT of investors coined into for a quick buck during a recession...
Apple produces nothing that will keep them as a viable, long investment, except, maybe, their standing in the art department. But even then, they have ignored that for so long that the WinTel platform is now far superior to apple.
Once the kids move on to the next "big" thing, it will be all over for apple, and it looks like it is already happening anyways... that is until they sucker the kids for another worthless gadget...
