Continue with what? Assumptions? One should never assume anything; be it business or computing.

Ford is not #1, they're 6th in global sales. GM was #1 for 77 years, but because of poor management decisions, unionized labor, and a competitive disadvantage to lower cost Japanese manufacturers they're now #3 (some other things too). Toyoda and VW are the top 2, but 50 years ago Toyoda was nothing but a small government subsidized company with low costs and a great manufacturing system.

Audi is a niche luxury brand of VW and is no where near #1, though they're very competitive in their segment for the past 15 years. 53 years ago they were a small company named Auto Union; which VW purchased.

In computing IBM was #1 50 years ago, but they are a shell of their former selves.

Quote:

I could continue, but then, the thread should be moved to the Soapbox.
That is why I did not mention any particular company. You opened the can of worms. I really doubt the IPhone will be fashionable in 53 years. They don't have much else other than the IPhone; which is why I have sold my shares in them.
