Porsche buys massive shares of other , bigger companies with cash money instead of getting handouts from other companies

Porsche actually dominates in many areas
Apple... does in the "hype" area... but that only takes them so far now does it
Well, you have now moved the goal posts, added some subjective judgments . . . and basically recast your position.

You never addressed my previous query of the money MSFT gave to AAPL for "various reasons" now you speak of "handouts from other companies".

I guess I could make claims about Apple too; recent stock growth, cash on hand ($18B), "leading edge" in software design, dominance in MP3 market, fastest growing share of computer market, fasting growing smart phone maket-share, computer maker with largest overall growth YTY, iPhone at 71% of all phone web access, etc.

But honestly I don't think I can have a reasonable discussion with you. Sorry,

Best,

Kurt
