Apple is Public Company (PLC) and not a Private Company (LTD)

Apple is a publicly owned company meaning that its shares are publicly available on the market. "Public" does not mean government owned.

If a private company has Apple as an investor, they do not have to disclose information like a public company. Apple has to disclose what they know, but private companies can enter private arrangements with investors.

yea


sometimes I wonder why God made me black


But God does not make mistake so I accept it


Too much foolishness, hate, bile, ignorance and shortsighted fools in one ethnicity


All ethnicities have their "deplorable" but in the case of black folks, the deplorable far outnumber the sensible And this cuts across the socio economic strata of the society


Apart from the dangote group, MTN and a few others, i don't see any company amongst us that will outlive its founders.

This is true. I doubt the Dangote group will outlive its founder. There's something about Africans, only a few of us care to teach others our way of making money. I don't know why.

I'm surprised this legacy thing didn't start today regarding white people. Till today nairalanders keep cursing Frederick Lugard without knowing he secured his name in history books even far back in the early 1900s -- not only here but also in the then colonized India.

I am not disputing you o


All im saying is that these companies should divest into other ventures. that will reduce their exposure to heavy blows IF what you are saying eventually happens

that's what m saying...they have ,but they aren't progressing at all.google have made efforts in completing with Microsoft in enterprise and business,but they failed.they launched Google,cloud, Chromebook and Gsuite to tackle microsoft.yet they failed to penetrate due to lack of trust and poor softwares.

look at the way Microsoft and Amazon are expanding at the speed off light.

Can someone plz convert this to Naira

They always have.

victorazyvictor:

They always have.

what then seems to be the problem?

for starters, your stats are wrong coz Walmart is worth over 400billion dollars. secondly Apple's 1trillion dollars is not evaluated from market share or revenue accumulated. this is merely stock market appreciation and valuation... Apple being valued at 1 trillion dollars doesn't make them richer than Exxon Mobil coz these companies are very rich in assets, finance and market shares. Don't mistake these things

It is because of foundation problem. Most times the foundation of building the companies here is enshrined on wickedness. No justice, fairness and equality. And the truth is that anything you build without those good qualities will never last. No way it will last.

So the wisdom here is that whatever we are building be it company, country, marriage, let us build wisely with honesty, integrity, justice, equity etc. If we build right, it will definitely out live us. Many human being deceive themselves thinking that man will live forever, not at all. Man is very mortal. So build wisely.

dangote group will live for long

I can't say so, he should just ensure he is building with right foundation. If he does so, his company will outlive him but if not, natural laws will take its course. It's just the way it is.

The foundation is solid

I can bet on that


His business model is dynamic too

Private in apples context means it's not fully or partly owned by the Government! It's owned by individuals!!!!

HajimeSaito:


Christians do not worship whatever it is that MUDslimes worship. We don't bow down five times a day to a black stone in a pagan city and our definition of heaven is different from the MUDslime idea of a sexual orgy paradise.

and lastly Christians only eat goats...

Capitalism has proved to be the ONLY economic system that aligns with humans and their behaviour. Humans are generally greedy, capitalism creates the room for that greed to be used properly, with the right regulations.

Apple is called public company anywhere. Pls use Google for better purposes

There's something called choice. So many iPhone users bought their phones as used, I have always bought my high end phone brand new when it debuts. There are so many like me. So it's your opinion..

[b]This is magnificent feat nonetheless. Steve Wozniak would have had crazy worth if he didn't sell his shares in the early 90s and Steve Jobs would have been the richest man on earth if he was still alive.

Microsoft(Bill Gates) could be in a corner wondering, what if I didn't help Apple with my money when it almost folded up. 

Some Apple fans/users will use this as bragging rights despite not having any shares with the company. 

Kudos to Apple but they need to be innovative again after years of playing catch up to the competition. Amazon should be next, this is the effect of capitalist system and evasion of tax. The rich gets richer 

P.S Petrochina did hit one trillion dollars first and that was over a decade ago.

P.S.S The poster above me, you really don't need that bigotry signature. God isn't religious and heaven isnt made for Christians alone. There's more to life than practicing either of these foreign religions, live and let's live.

Wow!! It's a very funny thing Muslims are terrorists and Islam promotes terrorism when a Muslims commits it but same logic can't be used when it involves Christians. Here are some Christian terrorists that killed for Christianity; Darren Osbourne, Timmy kinner, Oscar morel, Alexandre Bissonnette, Timothy McVeigh, et al. Until you know that terrorism, crime et al has no religion, you begin to take humanity first.. You also need to know religion is a divisive tool, it promotes division. You are already broken and you should fix yourself

Remember, humanity first.

Apple is now a trillion dollar business not one useless religion that cannot produce anything for the world.

Oga I know apple is a Public company, if you can't understand a simple comprehension then I'm not having a conversation with you. Didn't the News say "private" up there? Don't they know it's a publicly traded company!!!

I don't need to as it before i know. Its the Christians that are hate filled and attack everything not Christianity and Islam specially. Muslims barely do that
