There's even a precedent. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dot-com_bubble

Sucked for California. Everywhere else was fine. But traffic was so much better in the bay so there's that silver lining...

I understand this is an "intro-to-equities" case but doesn't this completely ignore dividends and buybacks?

I'm not an expert at reading financial statements but it seems to me Apple could easily double their dividends and still be very profitable relative to other companies.

Surely moves like that should have some effect on stock price meaning there are more possibilities than "grow gross profits" or "worth less"

Obviously there is no official count but the consensus is there are 6 factions within the GOP. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Factions_in_the_Republican_P...

I definitely agree with your overall sentiment but if you actually care about your project go with one of the 3rd party standard cell libraries, i.e. https://www.synopsys.com/dw/ipdir.php?ds=dwc_standard_cell

With the foundry provided library you get what you pay for...

It's not obvious what "moving" means in this thread but no foundry would ever let you make a design the grossly violates the design rule checks (DRC). It's hard to imagine how something risking damage of anything would get through all the many, many, checks, but wasting time and money is definitely possible and to be avoided.

As an aside, few analog layouts will use the "line of diffusion" style that's common in the standard cells. And in analog one can find more exotic transistor patterns, like waffle [1], that aren't used in digital. Many things are possible, but it has to pass DRC.
