that fanboy is an analyst for thestreet.com & was actually for the android phone, before he tried 1..... I anticipated your response & posted the cnbc 1. I probably got a little ahead of myself and should have said microsoft 1st..... as far as exxon goes(even though they just made a huge find in Australia.... & Iran problems, could make oil go sky high), look at how much money it takes for them to make 7% profit, while Apple makes 15%. In other words electronics has huge profit and Apple has "momentum" 50 more retail stores this year.As long as Steve Jobs is alive it will have continued growth. This 1/4 did not include Ipad sales( having trouble keeping up with demand & the only company to actually sell any significant #'s) or new iphone or any new products in pipeline or a Verizon deal. when I saw Steve Balmer take over Microsoft I started buying Apple. Google made a huge mistake knifing Apple in the back and now Apple will have search engine and add generated profits. All of this in a down economy, so the growth potential is huge
