There appears to be a bluetooth antenna connector - was an antenna connected? - if so, maybe it was faulty.

I sometimes wonder if most people only have the ability to dream big when they're younger.

Dreaming big involves big risk, the best time to take big risks is when you have nothing to loose (more often than not when you are young), later on you become responsible for other peoples livelihoods, even if just your family let alone a large company and it's employees.

Most risk takers fail and are unheard of, we only know those who were successful.

Apple continues to deliver for its customers and investors unlike any other company can. 

For how many years must Apple demonstrate this before it’s recognized by Wall Street?

It deserves a much higher price multiple. 

I believe Wall Street gives highest pe to companies whose products are monopoly. 

PE is the price of a share or stock divided by the earnings per share. It is not “assigned” by anyone. 

The markets ("Wall Street") assign value to shares every day.

A purely mathematical figure   - it is true that the market makers quote both a buy and a sell price in a tradable asset hoping to make a profit on the difference. Not really an "assign" as they must adjust the price according to the buyers and sellers that want the stock. They are effectively guessing the ratio of buyers to sellers.

A well written article, thank you.

VAT and sales tax are much the same as the end-user pays the tax. One negative is that VAT requires extra accounting by those in the middle of the supply chain, however, this is countered by not requiring to determine who is, and is not, an end user.

Import/exports can have problems between VAT and sales tax countries in the form of double taxation, which usually require special measures.
