Of course it isnt about equal outcome. It is about equal oportunity. According to your next quote, you make it very obvious that you are neither for equal outcome OR equal oportunity. According to your own words someone can make a product, monopolise on it, and even gloat over inflated prices. Funny how you rail against keynesian policies, yet you see no problem in artifically inflating prices, something that keynesian policies put into practice and has led to America's current economic woes.

You really need to look up monopolies of the turn of the 20th century Void. You really have no idea how they crushed anything that even resembled competition. And now that you have your monopoly, why would you still be a libertarian? You would do everything you could to hold your power. You would CEASE being libertarian and become a plutocrat, with cleptocratic tendencies. You would no longer care about ANYTHING other than your corporation. A new corporatist is born, who care of nothing other than his power hold, what he can take, and what he has. The allegiance is now to the corporation. To greed. You will do everything in your power to squash any perceived threat to your hold.
