What, me, a millionaire?

Drama. The market is chirping about a $2 trillion Apple Incorporated in 2027 – it’s only $800 billion today – and it’s true that if you bought the stock in 2012 for $200,000 and did nothing for five years, you’d be worth $565,000 today and maybe twice that, they say, in ten years (TheStreet, August 2, 2017, Apple to Bulldoze Its Way to $2 Trillion).

But there’s many a slip ‘twixt cup and the lip (Homer 850BC) and to avoid slipping in the past, we ran these four companies as a (B)-Class Portfolio on $500,000 and we’re good for $5.5 million today and we also have as much idle cash now as when we started.

Quantum Entanglement

Everything that has ever been said or will be said in 50-qubits.

And we know how to keep doing that for as long as the market doesn’t or doesn’t know that there could also be a wind-sucking problem with Apple’s income projections in the meantime.

Last year’s sales were $220 billion – more than Amazon ($140 billion) but less than Walmart ($490 billion) – which means that Apple might already have 200 million customers well-heeled enough to spend $1,000 a year (about 10% of the per capita income of everyone on the planet) on iThings or maybe 50 million customers who are spending $4,000 a year or are there 20 million customers who are spending $10,000 a year on iThings and how will that work-out in the next ten years?

And how will our iPhones work with quantum encryption in the next ten years?

For more information on real “risk management” in modern times and additional references to the theory and how to read the charts and tables, please see our Post, The RiskWerk Company Glossary and “(P&I) Dividend Risk and Dividend Yield“, and our recent Posts “(P&I) The Profit Box” and “(P&I) The Process – In The Beginning“; and we’ve also profiled hundreds of companies in these Posts and the Search Box (upper right) might help you to find what you’re looking for, such as “(B)(N) TLM Talisman Energy Incorporated” or “(B)(N) ATHN AthenaHealth Incorporated” or “(B)(N) PETM PetSmart Incorporated“, to name just a few.

And for more applications of these concepts please see our Posts which rely on the Theory of the Firm developed by the author (Goetze 2006) which calibrates The Process to the units of the balance sheet and demonstrates the price of risk as the solution to a Nash Equilibrium between “risk-seeking” and “risk-averse” investors within the demonstrated societal norms of risk aversion and bargaining practice. And for more on The Process, please see our Posts The Food Chain and The Process End-Of-Process.

And for more on what risk averse investing has done for us this year, please see our recent Posts on “(P&I) The Easy (EC) Theory of the Capital Markets” or “(B)(N) The Easy (EC) Theory of the S&P 500“, and the past, The S&P TSX “Hangdog” Market or The Wall Street Put or specialty markets such as The Dow Transports & Utilities or (B)(N) The Woods Are Burning, or for the real class actionLa Dolce Vita – Let’s Do Prada! and It’s For You, Dear on the smartphone business.
