Much as I made a mint off of AAPL, the reason I decided to take my profits and get out, is that Steve Jobs is gone, and that was the only FANG left in my portfolio, and I just wanted to be rid of Silicon Valley altogether.
What you got against Sillicon Valley? Do you hate diversity or something?
I have my American Gods, Silicon Valley are false idols, even for a gilded age they suck, I'd take Carnegie over Bezos, all day.

Do you think many of these tech industries will collapse? Is facebook and social media in general going to turn out to be a bubble?

I think Google is losing it's edge pretty fast.

Amazon's biggest competitor is actually Walmart, and I think Walmart could potentially take them, but Walmart needs to open up its marketplace like Amazon did in order to do that.

They wont collapse, it will just evolve.

But for instance AMZN ain't paying jack shit to own it.

They are rent seeking, raking it in, and then hoarding the cash.

Thus I am not going to support them, cash hoarding is entirely to the advantage of the Bolsheviks.

I've got no quarrel with making shitloads of money, but if it doesn't get distributed, it's of no particular use to anyone.

I think they could very well get crushed by foreign corporations. This SJW shit is killing them.

Out of all the companies you have invested in over the years, which one has gotten you the best return overall?

AAPL because I bought low and sold high and then actually took the profits.

Can't spend it when you're dead, you haven't banked it until you have banked it.

None the less, that was all Steve Jobs, Steve Jobs was the genius, now he is dead, my loyalty to AAPL went with him.

I would have been a millionaire if the ex didn't plunder the AAPL stock. Bought 4k shares at around 45 dollars back circa 2004. AAPL was the big thing. GOOG was the one I didn't get in on because I thought IPO was overpriced. Fuck me.

Still, I'd rather be broke and that bitch be broke too. LOL

Whatever, dude. She's broke now too, so good on her. LOL

This is what happens when you hand all the power to females.
