The funny thing would be to animate those charts for the few last years. Microsoft and Google would not change much, but Apple's pie would be changing like crazy: no iPhone prior to 2007, no iPad before 2010.
- bwarp 15y agoExcellent idea. I'd also like to see less proportional charts i.e. with areas representing cash rather than proportion as well. Then we can see how much more or less one division in one company makes than another in the other company.
- omh 15y agoIf we want to see the change over time then it would be much nicer to see something like a stacked line/bar chart than an animated pie chart. This could also show how the absolute amount of revenue has changed. I suspect that in MS's case it would be roughly similar, whereas for Apple the iPhone has come from nothing and total revenue has exploded.
- bretpiatt 15y agoYou are completely wrong. http://finance.yahoo.com/q/is?s=MSFT+Income+Statement&annual http://finance.yahoo.com/q/is?s=MSFT+Income+Statement&an... 58->62->69 ... that is their trailing three years i revenue in billions. They grew two Facebooks last year.They have more than doubled in size and profit over this last decade when Google supposedly killed them off. They've actually grown more than the entire size of Google to put it in some perspetive.
- onemoreact 15y agoHis comment is that the ratio of Microsoft's income streams has been steady not it's magnitude. I think MS is a much better stock buy than Google or Apple, but that's due to P/E concerns not ability to create new markets quickly.
