So you're basically judging a companies success by the face value of every individual stock instead of any of the REAL definitions of success?
And re-branding other people's products and calling it innovation isn't innovation, no matter what PR tells you.
The fact of the matter is that all of apple's products are inferior to their competition, they hold little to no market share in anything but the MP3 player market which is fading fast to smartphones (which is greatly important if you're talking from an investment standpoint) and dieing with a tenth of somebodies money is hardly making them your bitch.
Also last fiscal year Gates had around 70 billion dollars and Apple Corporation had around 63. It's changed now so that Apple is sitting around 72 and gates is at 68. But this is still an individual with more personal assets than most of the company. Steve Jobs died with around 7 billion dollars.
Stock figures aren't exactly interesting to me because stocks are a worse long-term investment right now than instant lottery.
