You cannot exist as a $20 billion company with speculation.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I never dreamed I could build a $100 million company. I just happened to build a $1 million company that became a $5 million company, and so on.
Many companies don't exist after 25 years. It's a rarity. Or if they do exist, they're like IBM, with a totally changing personality.
You cannot have companies where many of the largest ones lose money indefinitely without someone finally waving the white flag, and IBM is the most recent example of that.
You can never tell when a commercial space venture will suddenly become viable.
You cannot run a business, or anything else, on a theory.
We don't grow unless we take risks. Any successful company is riddled with failures.
You can hype a questionable product for a little while, but you'll never build an enduring business.
I absolutely don't have $20 billion. But I'd love to, right?
It's really easy to create a $1 billion company - you just have to solve a $10 billion problem.
Even if you're a relatively small player in search, that can still mean a company that's worth several billion dollars.
