Do share - what is this secret code.

As I said previously - if you increase the supply then the price will fall. For example at the moment we only have one Lionel Messi and as such he is paid £100 Million a year. If we had a 100 Lionel Messi's then he wouldnt be able to command such a rate.

Sales have increased as prices have increased.

I think you’re oversimplifying this a bit. You haven’tmentioned demand. There are all sorts of factors that affect pricing. If it were merely a matter of a simple volume-price relationship, then how would you explain, e.g., the art market in which prices can shoot up and collapse without any change of product availability?

This explains Apples business plan quite well and why they have now hit a wall.
