I agree....
Yes -- big picture thinking! The Peter Lynch school of investing works - has worked for many years - and for those that don't know who we're talking about = He ran (built!) the largest mutual fund - Magellan Fund. He ran that fund back when mutual fund ownership WORKED.
I'm not sure about Apple being "greedy"... I (we should all) love a company that commands loyalty - and margin - and strives to make the very best product money can buy... Rolls Royce - Ferrari - Rolex - Apple... nothing wrong with companies like this. The PROBLEM becomes when a company starts to think that they're successful and doesn't really need a customer... (Microsoft? RIM? IBM years ago?) or puts their interest and desires (Apples war with Google?) ahead of it's customer...Why go out of your way to piss people off? Just give the customer what he wants and laugh all the way to the bank. Don't change the Coke formula! (Remember that?)
