How Apple's Market Share Will Propel Stock to $500, Part 2

If Android doesn't deliver something spectacular in the next two years, then iPhone will be heading towards ridiculous market shares, just as the iPod did.

And that's not even accounting for the iSlate/MacTouch..

All the predictions of an Apple tipping point in the market are coming true. How nice that the world order can be so well and truly turned upside down.

Microsoft: Free Cash Flow Analysis

Do you not expect Microsoft's market share to decline under hugely more competition from many fronts?

It doesn't matter how you dress it up, using whatever arithmetic you want to use, but it's extremely hard to see Microsoft going back to its heyday.

Apple's History Puts Its Present into Question

I thought this might be an interesting article when I saw the title.

Consortium To Standardize Digital Rights Management, Take On Apple

It will have to be good. Really good. Which it won't be. Just as all those other useless alternatives to iTunes for music were decimated - by having no customers.

If this is another Microsoft like tactic, to artificially engineer the take down of Apple, it will only fail.

Just as the Music labels are failing at slowing iTunes by denying them DRM free music. (Funny thing is that the music labels are engineering the lock in to iPods which is exactly what they say they DON'T want!).

Net result of all this will be another expensive fail.

Cash-Rich Companies: Watch Out for the Siren’s Song

Applying this metric across the board is a little weird. You need much better knowledge of these businesses to make this kind of judgement.

Beware the statisticians...
