Hi 3bar,

You make valid points on the life cycle of a union.

In emerging countries, they are in the beneficial years for the workers.

The entrepeneurs in China are no doubt amassing huge wealth. on very low labor wages and as aapl has proven demanding work rules.

Alas our industrial revolution began well before China's.

Add in the internet and social networks and I suspect the learning curve of wage explosions and union powers going past the return of benefits will be parabolic.

I honestly do not know how it will turn out.

There is one thing I believe and that is the benefactors of aapls great sucess is concentrated amongst the long term stockholders.

25 million phones is a lot of money/revenue - spread all the way down the supply channel.

Today as aapl put on 40 points at the open - the big money over the last 12 years and just today happened in the stock accounts of the aapl stockholders/owners.

That's where the money is.

aapl can have 110 billion cash spread all over the world - the big money is in the Largest cap stock in the world.

I like that.

Bob
