Of course I understand that the OP was trying to be funny.
Please perform a thought experiment - replace "women" with <your favourite ethnic group> in those jokes. Are they still funny?
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

How many people remember Michael Dell's famous 1997 quote when asked what he'd do to fix Apple?
"What would I do? I'd shut it down and give the money back to the shareholders," [^]
At the closing bell today Apple's market capitalization is $774.7 billion. That's right folks, bigger than Microsoft ($362.2B) and Google ($362B)... combined! Probably enough left over to buy Dell.
Regardless of how you feel about Apple products you have to admit that AAPL has been an amazing stock since 1997.
Contrary to popular belief, nobody owes you anything.

That's not really how market capitalization works. I'll just give it to you, because I don't feel like arguing about it.
|
|
|
|

Don't worry - I know what a market cap means. I was just being a bit overzealous...

And then Microsoft stepped in and saved their ass!
|
|
|
|
|
Too bad they didn't keep the stock - it would be worth about $30B today!
Contrary to popular belief, nobody owes you anything.

Crazy, huh?

Back then, the popularity of Win '95 had all but killed apple. It was money from microsoft that saved them.
And their rise back to solvency has had precious little to do with computers, but more with gadgets that have computer chips in them -- first the ipod, then the iphone and the ipad -- and with the money from the app store/itunes.
I wouldn't be surprised if they've paid out more in produce placement of their computers than they've made from them, even with their ridiculously high profit margins.

I just knew people wouldn't be able to put their hatred of Apple away long enough to appreciate AAPL.
Let it go, man. Let it go.

WTF are you talking about?
I don't hate apple, I just have no respect for them -- and the day that money becomes the measure for identifying something's true worth is the day when we deserve a really big solar flare.
Drug dealers have huge profit margins, too. That doesn't mean they have a superior product.
Or are you saying that I should celebrate the money they make?

Never mind. I was just appreciating the stock's performance - I have no desire to get into a discussion about capitalism or drug dealers.

Not nearly as well as socialism and communism.

You obviously don't understand either word.
But that's not surprising, the amount of capitalist indoctrination and propaganda you appear to have been subjected to.
