The Steve Jobs Betrayal
You may already know that in the final year of his life, Jobs revealed a stunning betrayal — and told his biographer, "I will spend my last dying breath... and every penny of Apple's $40 billion in the bank to right this wrong." What was it that made Jobs so irate — and why could it make a few in-the-know investors some major profits over the coming months and years?

    Sorry, videos are no good for me. Thank you anyway. I only read because computer is in a shared room.

    Indeed, videos are undesirable for several reasons, including those stated above. If MF feels it must use video clips, how about at least providing a text transcription so everyone can make use of the info?

    Agree that a transcript would be nice, but this is the 21st century. If you can't cope with things like video, gas combustion engines or flush toilets, then continue to hide out in your log cabin.

    Comments about someone's speaking style is juvenile and ridiculous. He's enthusiastic and his ideas are worth listening to, whether or not you agree with him is left to you.

    Let's just say this was not helpful. Please select a stock, let us know if the earnings and free cash flow cover the dividends and if you think they will in the future. Throwing out names with high yields that might not be sustainable yields or high debt that might lead to dividend cuts just sends us to more reliable sources of information. Thx

    Only Telecom - but still claiming the best dividends overall. Makes no sense. I do not like the bad stock appreciation of Telecom. I would at this point in time NOT prefer a company in China over let us say ATT, WIN, etc. here because of uncertainty in the books. That will all blow up one day.

    Thank you for posting this video. However, I doubt that just looking at yields is important alone. You should also look at the dividend's sustainability.

    Hey all,

    For those that don't like videos in general... As Kafue alluded to I'm sorry if they're not your favorite form, but readers have asked us to provide more varying forms of content. That'll mean more of a mix of more images, text based articles, and videos too. I realize that'll mean a certain article isn't in your preferred form, but I hope we offer enough of all kinds to keep different types of investors engaged.

    Kafue,

    Thanks! I'll admit I get a little over-enthusiastic at times... But that's why me and Jeremy started the series, because we have so many tech ideas and wanted to share them. I hope investors pick up some ideas they find useful.

    Best,

    Eric
