Why do you believe these 4 companies will outperform the market over 26 years?
You don't think there's any risk of a competitor dethroning even one of them?
Apple in particular has grown noticeably more slowly than the other 3 and is starting to run out of meme power since they haven't had a new idea in 7 years.

>>1972406
Facebook and Google are weak.

>26 years?
24 years, sorry.
Not that it makes much difference.

The beauty of having $300 billion in cash is ideas never run out. New minds are hired on every day my friend.

This. You think Tim Cook, Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, Sergy Brin or Larry Page are going to limit the potential of their companies to their own minds?

These companies will stand the test of time. Even Facebook, who has had no problem tapping into new areas of tech instead of limiting themselves to social media.

Don't even get me started on Amazon, that company will take over the world one day.

Dunno man, makes sense to me

But when was the last time Apple had a new idea that wasn't shit?
The most recent one I can think of is the iPad, which was 7 years ago.

>These companies will stand the test of time
Ford is down 40% since 2011 and almost 70% since 1999.
But tech isn't like manufacturing. It's actually much easier to overthrow the reigning champs in tech, especially web tech. Literally all it takes is a genius with a crazy idea and too much free time.

I'm sure at least three of these four companies will still be safe blue chips in 30 years, but I don't think they're all still going to be the reigning champs.

>genious with a crazy idea
Yeah but Apple IS in manufacturing, they manufacture the worlds most popular mobile phones. Amazon is shopping. Google is everything, not just a search engine. Google maps has 1 billion monthly users, Facebook is the most likely to die, but the grim reaper would HAVE to be a new social media, its competitors stand no chance.

>they manufacture the worlds most popular mobile phones
Apple has less than 15% of the smartphone market and Samsung alone has about 20%. Android is significantly more popular than iOS and iPhones have a reputation for being overpriced, while the app store is known for being paternalistic.
Apple needs new ideas and they don't have any.

>Google is everything
Google is the best of these 4 companies and will probably beat the market over 30 years, barring something catastrophic happening to them. I'll concede that.

>Amazon is shopping.
Amazon is the second best of these 4 companies. They aren't invulnerable, though, and it's totally impossible to predict their market share in 30 years. I strongly doubt they will continue to be the go-to for all online shopping.

>Facebook is the most likely to die
I disagree. I think Apple is more likely to get fucked if they don't get a new idea soon.
I wouldn't hold FB for 30 years though.

You'll never make it

You either make a lot of money or very little.

Live with my parents ~30 miles from a very large city. They pay for pretty much everything. Food, utilities, household items. Car insurance is on them since I'm still relatively young. Student debt is paid off, although I only had 12K after graduating. For health insurance, I just pay the penalty ($695), and I'm on their cell phone plan (6 lines for $150). Still have the same phone I bought 5 years ago and I drive my dad's old car that he owned.

I only really spend money when I go out and when I wanna buy random stuff. Have a gym membership, some internet services (spotify, amazon prime, netflix). That's pretty much it.
