What goes up, must come down. Apple's stock is so inflated that when they finally tank, they take thier stockholders with them into bankruptacy. As the article said, "Apple has grown so large mainly by selling consumer products that few of its customers can genuinely say are essential." They selling something that people need, they are selling something that people want. When people go poor, the first things cut are the things you want, because you can't do without the needs (food, shelter, water...) At the current rate, it's only a matter of time till were all in the poor house and there is no middle class.

Apple makes a great product, but they are expensive. You buy an apple phone and ipad which becomes obsolite in a year or two. lower the profit margin, spread the wealth , and above all bring the jobs home to America. then and only then we can all tell how big and sucessful a company you really are.

Apple's profit margins as high as they are once again proves that there is a sucker born every minute. Apple does make functional gadgets, but they are nowhere near as unique, innovative, or useful as so many iPhans would have you believe. Sooner or later, the Apple bubble will pop.

Great products, including computers that are designed for humans. A market value TWICE that of Microcrap. Yee-haw! This is almost as good as slamming a pie in Gates mug. Get backs are a b*tch.
