I think MSFT is more like 5 times (not 50) as big as AAPL, comparing revenues. Why is market cap even relevant to ESOs? Charles Tutt (SM)

duh. MSFT is 50 times as big as AAPL. AAPL's market cap is 2% of MSFT's market cap. MSFT could buy 8 companies of AAPL's size with just their spare cash. if i were you, i wouldn't be bragging about how overvalued MSFT is...judging from where the market cap was last time you were bragging about it......... even though the MSFT market cap isn't anywhere near 50 times the market cap of apple or the revenues of Apple, MSFT is still extremely overvalued, even since the last time you declared it a "bargain" at market caps much higher than it is now...... what matters is how much spare cash MSFT has PER SHARE, and how much true money MSFT makes PER SHARE..... and both situations MSFT is still embarrassingly overvalued..... and MSFT is giving away so much of the company to its employees, that normal shareholders have lost the value of 8 companies the size of AAPL.......PER SHARE... since you were stubborn enough to dismiss this information when it was explained to you the first time, the loss of value of your investment sure has let you know in a loud clear voice how really stupid your poor decisions have shown you to be....
