No. Nokia and Motorola did. If you are going to pontificate, get your facts right.

Go back far enough and someone's father started it - what's your point?

I didn't actively buy Nokia or Motorola for this very reason.

Google acquired Motorola to defend against Apple and Microsoft. They are doing so admirably.

My point is that you are trying, constantly to have the final word in a construct of your making that is based entirely on a fallacy and doing so in an extremely smug manner. To follow your line of thought, with your hubris continuing to grow you will eventually become too cocky and get you next investment increadibly wrong and lose everything in the process.

I disagree with what you say unfortunately - so I guess we should just agree to disagree.

Judging by the bump in AAPL today, I think you sold too soon.

Let's come back to this thread in a few months, shall we?
