I work closely with both of them and they are both good implementers with Apple having the edge on innovation IMO.
I personally prefer to find smaller tech companies that have valuable patents, management that are strong on leadership and light on BS, and that have their route to an international market in place.
The problem is finding all of this in one company and also having a way to invest. I hate waiting for the IPO but sadly lack the clout to get in early without being able to convince others to come along for the ride.I am not a financial adviser and neither do I play one on television. I might occasionally give bad advice but at least it's free.
Like all religions, the Faith of the Invisible Pink Unicorns is based upon both logic and faith. We have faith that they are pink; we logically know that they are invisible because we can't see them.0 -

I made more than that in one year when I was 21 but sadly made zero in the next two years.
Of course, this was because I then spent the next two years in full-on party mode and didn't come around and start working again until 1986, or thereabouts.

How did I spend it? Well, I must admit that I can't account for more than a teeny fraction of it.
Between three of us we made about £250k in mid 80s pounds, which was good while it lasted. One of us (not me!) bought a brand new Porsche, decided that fully comp insurance was far too expensive, and then two weeks later tried to park it up a lamppost.
At least we all got this out of our systems early on!I am not a financial adviser and neither do I play one on television. I might occasionally give bad advice but at least it's free.

My property is not forming part of my retirement planning since I plan to live in it - the only thing it does mean is that I do not have to include rent liability in my planned outgoings.
From an accounting point of view of course property is an asset but when it comes to retirement planning I think it's fine to exclude.
It has all been stated above, I am not going to repeat myself, except to say the title of the thread is 'What are you worth'.Chuck Norris can kill two stones with one birdThe only time Chuck Norris was wrong was when he thought he had made a mistakeChuck Norris puts the "laughter" in "manslaughter".I've started running again, after several injuries had forced me to stop0 -

Yes, but how far do you go? Some have totaled up the value of their chemical make-up, others their internal organs.
My house isn't quite as essential as my heart, but it's up there, so its monetary value is therefore more theoretical than useful.I am not a financial adviser and neither do I play one on television. I might occasionally give bad advice but at least it's free.

The value of your house is not theoretical! House values are real and can easily be realised when/if the property is sold!
EDIT: I have explained all of this to you above already when I said:
Whilst I understand what you are saying, the thread title is 'What are you worth' and owning your home outright is part of your worth (as is any equity after allowing for disposal costs).
It is of course up to you decide what you want to count in, but you can't argue that all your equity is not worth anything.Chuck Norris can kill two stones with one birdThe only time Chuck Norris was wrong was when he thought he had made a mistakeChuck Norris puts the "laughter" in "manslaughter".I've started running again, after several injuries had forced me to stop0
