[QUOTE="JL 0513, post: 1759219, member: 50088"] It's a whole hell of a lot of speculation. For fun, let's compare Apple to UPS. Based on Market cap value, Apple is "worth" 10X more than UPS. But is it really when you look at all the tangible value? Apple's biggest source of revenue is a cell phone. The factories that build most Apple products are contracted, mostly Foxconn. Apple doesn't even own the factories (most anyway). There are Apple stores, but pretty spread out. There isn't a large public workforce like a UPS or Walmart. They don't have a massive fleet of vehicles like UPS. UPS owns thousands of big buildings. An airline too. What would Apple have to sell off if their products tanked in popularity (as so many brands have throughout history)? Not 100's of billions in tangible assets. [/QUOTE]
