Apple Much More Than A Fruit

APPL





An ignorant investor

I ask for help. I have recently come into 6.8 million and I need Assistance in investing such capital in a way that guarantees not only me but my children as well live comfortably the rest of of our lives. So I ask as a someone with no experience for a little help. You see everyone I know insist I immediately place the bulk of this cash immediately into a company called Apple. I personally don't know what to do. My question in all honesty (and I invite any and all replies to post freely) is would you invest into Apple stock right now today as it stands firmly defiant @ $ 430.31 per share? Would you invest a clean $5 Million into not the stock but the direction into which it was going? The thing about it is that the company is dancing around in a way that only solid investors would be concerned. As of 2010 solid investors have been defined as investors that have at least $5 Million involved. So as the true questions of investment are involve since we all know the APPL stock will hit $1,000 2013 has past its half way point. So how do we as consumers utilize this fact? I

A Hypothetical Situation

DL
DL or Diversified Laboratories is a $13 Billion Dollar think tank created to generate revenues
in excess of $13 Billion. The company does however have one major difference than most
Corporations of such size magnitude. Some in the Corporate may even have enough definition to to
reclassify it as a “problem”.You see DL really don't care at all about Revenues. Confusing, I know so
let's sort it out. You see Diversified Laboratories is a unique hand-picked assembly of some of the best
minds of the last decade. These minds have been paid an incredible amount of money to be thrust
Dead-Center into highly-technological situations and forced to think-out a solution. Once placed into
this initially hostile highly-Technological environment they would have no choice but to adjust
accordingly. As a byproduct it was strongly believed that this heavily funded think thank would also
either create an entirely new revenue generating technology, possibly fill a much needed void
somewhere within the marketplace or even dramatically raise the efficiency level of an existing
product or service.
100% managed, facilitated and operated from the outside DL's Tech Minds have in fact been
instructed not to towards revenue in any way shape or forum. Instead they have were instructed to
focus on society as a whole. So DL sat back and looked at life on an everyday level, on an everyday
basis...they sat back and watched people go about life without interfering. Under no financial pressure
to perform, as investors knew this was a long-term investment when they signed on. Most investors
pitched in with the company's slogan “Life More Efficient” as the the overall goal. Everyone involved
knew this would take some time. No expectations just the simple observation of functionality a people,
a species within its own society. Diversified Laboratories continued to watch people go about life
within a society. As they watched from a distance one simple yet life-changing question came to the
surface and each and everyday it seemed to grow more important than any of the rest. The question was
simple; with regard only to what could be added or taken away from life as we know it and in the
process live up to the Company Logo and make; “Life More Efficient”.
The result was both immediate and surprising, Mobile Applications yep, mobile applications! As
we all sat powerless and watched “Mobile Apps” slowly & systematically take over the “World Wide
Web. We had to wonder “What would regulate the web of the future, the Mobile web?” As the think
tank sat around in “Observation” mode the answers, no wait I mean the questions started to jump out at
them...they observed how the relationship between users and they're cell phone's were getting more and
more intimate. Users wanted to do more with their cell phones. With the wild success of “Mobile App”
the Cell-Phone had suddenly become much more than a line of communication. It was a Camera,
Music Player, a Web Browser and yet in some way users wanted to trust their Cell-Phones even more.
Again the think tank earned they're money. They came up with the perfect solution. Users wanted badly
to trust their Cell-Phones more so DL figured out a way they could use it to “Buy Stuff” all they had to
do now was create an App that did it. Standing in the way were several concerns that jumped out as
questions and all but took a seat in the room. The most important things users wanted to know...they all
had to be addressed before the the project could even be started. Below are the most important ones;
✔ What exactly will keep my “Smartphone and all its contents” safe over all of the many “Wi-Fi
Spots I pass over using a mobile network?
✔ Where can I immediately access all of my pertinent important info?
✔ Where can can I get the same website “without” all of the heavy “Desktop” features dragging
down my cell-Phone?
✔ How can I safely pay for items simply using my Cell-Phone?
✔ Can my Cell-Phone be that single device that will give me unlimited 24/7 access to the “World
Wide Web”
✔ What can I use to search the “World Wide Web” on my Cell-Phone?
✔ What can I use to search the “World Wide Web” for what I want with my Cell-Phone?
As Cell-Phones as well as they're capabilities continue to grow and and soak up a substantial
market share at an astronomical rate. The true questions is will they “replace” Desktops and Laptops as
the primary way to access the internet or continue to merely accent them as they do now. You see the
creative minds over at Diversified Laboratories figured out what the game changer was before the game
changed! What was it you ask? The 4G Network! The perfect platform for the true Mobile App. This
made the entire question concerning the future of the Desktop/Laptop irrelevant. The 4G Network
clearly meant there was enough room for everyone. It was big enough, fast enough and most
importantly secure enough to handle 300 Million web page visits, everyday! The 4G Network was
unique the network that could be trusted by both buyer and seller, by the millions on both sides on the
dollar, by consumers, by corporations, a true well-built sustainable infrastructure. Better known as
“unlimited potential” the think tank over at DL immediately started throwing Apps onto it and
convincing others to do the same. At first not many could grasp the concept of an alternate version of
their web page being thrown around on Hundreds of Millions of cell-Phones all over the world. A few
other things did factor in as well. Things such as eBooks, at the time literally being the “newest” hottest
electro-craze. Laptops also at this time were still considered “hot” and the $64 Dollar question that was
still up in the air was; “why would I take a page off of my computer and out it on my “unsecured”
Cellphone?” I'm already reading e Books on my cell-Phone (which drains my battery) I mean if I'm on
the Web, reading e Books when will I actually have time to make a call?
The 4G Network abruptly and without warning changed all that. Timing here you see is crucial
as this is the same exact time that Tablets/Pads punched they're way into the marketplace looking for a
home. They caused just enough confusion over the ever growing and insanely profitable issue of
internet accessibility and the the direction in which it was going that forced most if not all developers
to give “Mobile Apps” a second look! Less than a year into it the think tank struck Gold. They came up
with 2 wildly successful “Mobile Apps.” Which they promptly sold off to the highest bidder. This one
maneuver alone brought back $4.3 of the $13 Billion back, once again questions were placed on the
board. This time though one issue jumped right off of the board and took a seat right there in the room!
An issue that insisted on being addressed right then and there and would not sit still. What made it so
pertinent and allowed it to get away with such behavior is also what made it unique in itself. The issue
itself knew it was vitally important to both buyer and seller alike...how can fast, safe secure online
purchases be made right from my cell-Phone?” It took a little over a year for Diversified Laboratories
to address the “Elephant in the room.” The result was ArmorPay, A Mobile App Created solely for
Online Purchases 100% safe, secure, verified and trusted. ArmourPay was an instant success, deemed
by both buyer and seller alike as the perfect “Mobile” Application for buying online. Diversified
Laboratories had no idea it had just created a monster, a revenue monster. This was an application that
could charge both buyer and seller alike. This was unique among all Applications not only Mobile
one's. For one of the first times in history everyone on both sides of e-commerce was using the single
same product in the single same way. That product ArmourPay only continued to get more and more
more popular as seemingly everyone was using it without regard. The profit of margin was unheard of
as everyone was willing to anything for it. ArmourPay was the most popular way to pay online. The
fact that it also accepted payments on its system from ALL the other creditors as well this made it hard
if not almost impossible for anyone to compete with ArmourPay within this industry. It was neatly
packaged up and sold it to businesses, companies and corporations as a piece of software at a base price
with mandatory periodic updates. A new way for businesses, companies, and corporations to take
payment online safely, securely regardless of how you accessed the Web.
Whether or not ArmourPay's corporate slogan “The Safest way to pay online!” is actually
seated in truth may never be known. The fact of the matter is that it is effective. As thousands of new
users sign up each day and pay a fee for the safety of knowing they are utilizing “The safest way to pay
online”. And yes Diversified Laboratories is paid each and every time ArmourPay is used. With an
amazing 18% of all Online sales being transacted on mobile devices through Mobile Apps with
ArmourPay hosting well over 50% of that 18% . Looks like the minds over at DL are starting to pay
off. ArmourPay it turns out was a true blessing disguise. See once everyone had a safe, secure
dependable way to spend money using their Cell-Phones, they did! The numbers don't lie and nor do
the results. As projections try hard to keep up with actual growth it is both reasonable and realistic to
fully expect “Mobile Apps” to snatch out a full 25%, an entire quarter of all online sales!
Now everyone was paying attention. For whatever reason the World Wide well-diversified
powerhouse General Electric felt as though hugely successful Mobile Application ArmourPay should
in fact be a part of the General Electric family and threw 16 Billion at Diversified Laboratories in an
attempt to get it. They turned it down. Only a few months earlier the gang over at DL had realized
something. What they realized was in in fact a game changer. They realized that in order for transaction
to transpire on any level within the corporate world, for business to even be considered “transacted”
clearly one thing had to happen each and every time, a sale had to be made!
This realization alone was worth Millions find a way to force this realization onto everyone's
Cell-Phones and now its worth Billions. DL immediately forced all of its manpower, resources and
talent in that direction, with devastating results. Today 4 of the 5 Mobile Apps used to pay for anything
online today were created by Diversified Laboratories. Just this past Summer Sam Walton and his gang
from Bentonville came to town with 10 Billion. They just wanted to know if DL could use it in anyway.
The leader of the world's largest Fortune 500 company wanted to be more than friends. They wanted to
be partners. They turned it down. So now I'm sure you wonder from a perspective of financial
sensibility turns down over $25 Billion dollars, for any reason?
Darkfield Management & Consultation is who! An aggressively managed management firm out
of Santa Monica, California. They stated back then and still do right now that Diversified Laboratories
has the strength, vision and leadership to stand on its own 2 legs. Although it deeply appreciates that
both the offers and attention DL will in fact be just fine without any outside assistance or influence of
any kind. The fact that Darkfield M & C has managed them into such a desirable position to this point
forces everyone else to to both appreciate their success and respect their wishes. As bonuses the entire
think tank received brand new top of the line Mercedes Benz S600 Sports Sedans, $132,000 forms of
appreciation for exceeding each and all expectations in every quarter of 2011.
January 2012, once again the think tank is thrust Dead-Center into a Highly-Technological
environment and forced to think they're way out. The result was ALLTOGETHER hands down the
most used price comparison App on the Internet. Yes the entire Web! Once introduced
ALLTOGETHER immediately stretched far beyond “Mobile” Apps and onto pretty much everything
else, desktops, laptops, pads, tablets anything that could or would host a World Wide Web Page. And
Diversified Laboratories was getting a “cut” each and every time it was used! With everyone literally
using your App all the time revenue comes in fast and often. ALLTOGETHER turned out to be an
extremely successful product and an extremely profitable one as well.
In just under 3 years Diversified Laboratories had successfully worked itself out of a $13
Billion Dollar whole and was now operating in the Black. Darkfield Management and Consultation
won the coveted “Company Of The Year” award for displaying such ruthlessly efficient management.
DL it turned out was a long-term investment in name only. Diversified Laboratories was not the
“normal” investment. Unlike most others it paid early and it paid often. Started way back when when
they threw off those initial 2 Software Apps for the 4.3. You see shareholders received a large and
unexpected chunk of that. And DL continues to create innovative products that continue to exceed all
expectations. Revenue seems to come pouring in through any and all open doors and windows
investors are forced to received a steady diet of unexpected ROI.
While all of this was going on the major corporations were finding ways to either integrate the
App into and onto their own websites or find a way to work alongside it using it as a 3rd party payment
processor. And then the money really started pouring in! Industry standards clearly place “Long-Term
by definition as an investment with return 7-10 years out. Diversified Laboratories was in no way shape
or form operating within this vein. They conversely paying returns way too early and even better they
were paying way too much.
Spring time 2012, DL was literally trying to find a quiet place in the shade to sit and count its
money when both browsing giants came to town with both big money and big conversation. DL
decided to sit them in the same room at the same time and see what happens, competition creates
innovation.
Browsing giant Internet Explorer made the first move, they threw a clean free $15 Billion of
Microsoft's money on the table, no strings attached. All they wanted in return for their $15 Billion was
exclusivity. They clearly didn't want to share as the “exclusivity” of the deal is really what IE was after
what they were really willing to pay $15 Billion for. You see this is exactly what they needed to put
some distance between them and the young upstart in the rear-view mirror, Mozilla by Firefox. Who
happened to be sitting directly across from them with $16.4 Billion of somebody else's money on the
table. Although they did have more money on the table they had fewer request. They simply wanted to
be affiliated. Mozilla sat there impishly knowing any affiliation with with ALLTOGETHER would have
the opposite effect and place them even closer in Internet Explorer's rear view mirror, if not abreast.
Diversified Laboratories sat there calmly with 2 of Americas largest and most powerful
corporations with over $ 30 Billion Dollars on the table. They turned it down. Both browsing giants
had to remain on a P-T-P (pay to participate) basis with both DL and their software, they had no choice.
DL was getting attention. Their Mobile App ALLTOGETHER was single-handedly changing the way
users browsed the the web. More importantly it was changing the way users purchased things off of the
web. This single application was effectively successfully “Shaking Things Up”.
The think tanks from Santa Monica had managed to somehow rip away the once coveted access
to the World Wide Web away from Desktops and Laptops and place it in the hands of “everyone.”
Things were looking up. DL held the patents on two of the most important factors in online purchases
A. finding the best price by comparison(ALLTOGETHER) and B. A secure payment option
(ArmourPay) together they were quickly becoming quickly known as an “unstoppable force” clearly
defined and much needed within the online marketplace. Darkfield hired multi-media mogul Intel to
create and execute a masterful ad campaign that by all means, worked. Together the applications hit the
web with an immediate and devastating effect. A clear substantial spike in Online purchases was the
result. This caused major corporations to sit up and take notice most of which now begged to be
managed by Darkfield Management and Consultation. Diversified Laboratories had unknowingly
created an entirely new stream of revenue. They had exposed a very profitable fact. To most of the
major corporations total surprise they had exposed the fact that there was some 200 Million users that
only had access to the World Wide Web through there Cell-Phone! The kicker was that a few them were
willing to spend some money online, also using their Cell-Phone. By addressing the 2 biggest issues
related to Online Purchasing DL had unknowingly opened the flood gates.
Expert predict that by the end of the decade “Mobile Apps” will in fact be the leading way to
access the World Wide Web. The initial $13 Billion has long since been spoken for and earnings
continue to exceed any and all predictions, assumptions or projections. Darkfield Management and
Consultation it turns out was right way back when they both boldly and blindly insisted DL could stand
on its own 2 feet.
With no signs of slowing down the think tank over a Diversified Laboratories continue to throw
out wildly successful Mobile Apps for public consumption. That original $13 Billion has more than
doubled with annual revenue expected to exceed $3 Billion this year and $5 Billion in 2014. Not to
mention the Billions that sit around as fee for involvement of any kind from most of America's largest
most successful Fortune 500 Companies and Corporations. Diversified Laboratories is one of those rare
companies that actually has met and exceeded its corporate vision. By putting web access in the hands
of yet another few hundred Million users DL has in fact lived up to both its Corporate Slogan as well as
its coveted vision. With this single stroke of Technological redirection Diversified Laboratories had in
fact made; “Life More Efficient” . They made a Corporate dream a reality and forced us all to partake
in it. No one in any way shape or form affiliated with Diversified Laboratories needs any money in any
way shape or form. The return in just 3 short years has made everyone involved initially Millionaires at
least also making several multi-Millionaires in in the process. DL is a clear example of what could
happen when there is enough imagination and money involved. It, by it I mean Diversified
Laboratories, still has not made up its mind about which corporation it wants to get in bed with. It
seems to be enjoying the single life and is not ready for a relationship. A commitment of any kind just
seemed “limiting” in every sense of the word for both DL and its award wining line of industry leading
products. True to its promiscuous nature DL has been spending time in bed with several different
partners with no regard. Simply enjoying the variety as well as the lack of commitment. Unfortunately
with this type of lifestyle also comes certain risk. The biggest of course is becoming an outdated
Technology and dying, old and alone. DL I'm sure will maneuver somehow possibly force the entire
company in yet a new direction to make sure that doesn't happen. I for one am really glad someone put
together $13 Billion and forced these minds together into the same room. I have to admit they did make
my life more efficient.

Industry Sectors The Real Information



American Corporations
 
How These Titans Of Industry Dictate The Way We Live




        As we ease past the half way point of 2013 the numbers seem to be showing signs of great progress. Corporations have both met and surpassed revenued expectations of all sorts as the year shows us just how disrespectful the Dow can be in terms of being conventional. All any of us could do was sit back and watch as it climbed to massive new high's just within the last few months of 2013 alone. Earnings were no longer appreciated they were now expected. As you will see certain companies have used 2013 to climb to massive new heights in two of the most coveted aspects of Industry Revenue & Profits. All of this is vividly reflected in some of this years record-breaking stock prices forced onto both the NASDAQ and NYSE.
Let's highlight by Industry some of the most powerful Corporations situated on the Fortune 500. Mega Companies that hold the majority of this planets wealth and all of its resources. So take a look below these Titans of Industry by sector. I have taken this information and combined it with industry numbers to provide this analogy of some of the largest corporations of the planet. The result surprising to say the least. So sit back realize how these major corporations affect each and everyone one of us on a daily basis while making the world a smaller place in the process.
The Internet Services and Retailing Industry is tightly controlled by 7 behemoths. With Amazon sitting comfortably on top and no reason to worry. Incredibly theses 7 companies work both together and against each other keeping the entire globe connected to the “World Wide Web”. Stuffed in the top 3 and controlling the majority of all “Online” Auctions is the “Online” Retail conglomerate eBay. Just down below is Social Media Giant Facebook with 1.3 Billion Users. An extremely relevant and profitable fact as no one has figured out exactly how to use them. Manly Industry experts keep insisting Facebook should focus its future efforts solely on its ARU (average revenue per customer) since they have so many of them. But as the company struggles to value either inside or out. It learns a valuable and much needed lesson that popularity doesn't pay bills revenue does. While the stock ticker on Facebook shares sit unmoved at $26 a share Industry brotheren Google and Priceline's share prices race each other to a $1,000 both currently past $900.
Pfizer insisted on $59 Billion in revenues in 2012 alone. Annual earnings per share burst firth at at a substantial $2.19 per share classifying the year as a success. Pfizer is one of only 13 Companies that make sure billions of patients consistently receive their medication. Pharmaceuticals by far one of the most powerful Sectors of American Industry. Of course as expected Get Well powerhouse Johnson & Johnson has an iron grip over this sector as they continue to look for new and innovative ways to keep you well and stretch your life out a few more years. Sitting on over $259 Billion in revenue they continue to force stock asking prices closer to $100 for every single share. Abbot Laboratories is also considered a pure Pharmaceutical giant. Both Investors and Industry experts alike sit back and look on , confused. No one can seem to figure out why the stock price won't commit but instead continues to bounce up and down.
So let's eat! The Pepsico Group heads the Sector of companies that feed us. With current stock prices at a satisfactory $84 dollars per share the company is really hoping their recent plunge into healthier markets via the Yogurt Cart will give it the back the market share it consistently lost the first half of this year and also prove once and for all it is without question better than Coke! General Mills is and has been for a while the hands down leader the world in processed and packaged foods.

Kellog, the other Elephant in the room. It seems is going around buying up things. More important when they forced “Household and Personal Products” giant Proctor & Gamble to accept $2.7 Billion to relinquish ownership of Pringles the maneuver however shrewd instantly made them the the worlds second largest snack company right after The Group at Pepsico.
Only 11 companies dictate the most powerful Industry Sector on the planet, Petroleum Refining.
Amazingly less than a dozen companies scale this entire planet digging massive holes looking for its most precious commodity. These 11 Mega-Corps ironically also control 22% of the planets wealth. Led by Corporate Entity Exxon Mobile who single-handedly pulled down $836 Billion in revenue for 2012. Chevron and Phillips 66 round out the top 3 in that order. Experts fully expected Exxon Mobile to casually push past the $100 per share mark this year. The stock is seemingly attracting all of the right people for all of he right reasons. It seems the planet really is big enough for the 3 of them at least for now. Is it time to pull the hypothetical “Corporate Fire Alarm”. The reason I ask is I need to know and fast how Exxon Mobile and the rest of the gang just sit around and do nothing as Oil Prices free fall possibly all the way down to a $55 Barrel? Simple because they can Exxon Mobile knows the market needs them far more than they need the market. This is proven in the fact that the stock price has doubled over the last year alone. Sitting on well over $800 Billion in Market Cap Exxon Mobile alone has the power to bring the world to a standstill. Speaking in terms of just sheer numbers. I have to say that within these 11 companies at any given time resides a substantial amount of the worlds wealth.
Motor Vehicles & Parts the sector that literally moves us. Alone responsible for the worlds transportation on every level. The sector in itself can and often has been classified as diverse as it offers corporations that represent the motorized vehicle in several ways such as the mass-production of American-Made vehicles and trucks by the Automotive conglomerate General Motors. This sector also host the rubber giant Goodyear. Wrapping rubber on 3 out of every 5 new cars and trucks that hit the road. This alone can become a very significant fact here in the near future as the both Ford Motor Company and General Motors compete non-stop to produce and place as many new cars and trucks as they can on our streets and highways. The fact that Goodyear has to keep pace with these two manufacturing giants as they themselves raise production levels to record highs translates into one thing cash flow and a lot of it. With chances being strong you will leave the lot with Goodyear Rubber on your new car. They become even stronger the second time around as Goodyear is the leader in replacement rubber. And even though Indian Rubber maker Apollo Tyres just recently came to America with $2.5 Billion in cash and left with Cooper Rubber and Tire. Goodyear is in no way shape or form worried. The company itself is too diversified for any real threat to even come from one direction. And like I said before the replacement market is simply providing Goodyear with a steady stream of consistent substantial revenue while the new rubber continues to remain in worldwide demand.
Batteries, Note Book Paper, Potting Soil it seems as though 10 “General Merchandisers is enough to provide us all with enough general merchandise of any and every sort with the world's biggest Corporation Wal-Mart leading the way. I guess when you attract $59 Billion on revenue you get to sit atop of Fortune 500's coveted list of 500 largest U.S. Companies. Bringing in such revenue will significantly spike any category your company sits in. that fact alone gives the General Merchandise sector one of the highest Industry medians (average revenue per sector) of all the sectors. Wal-Mart sits alone atop both the “General Merchandise” sector as well as the Fortune 500's Largest Corporations massive and relentlessly growing. Both Family Dollar and Dollar General quietly stepped into the marketplace and created a new way to shop and then forced it on us all. By successfully ripping away the entire aspect of price comparison they effectively removed the need to decide altogether. It was only .99 cents get them both became the new way to shop for General Merchandise.
