> Luckily it allows investors to profit.

That's not lucky. That's sad. They never ask the question "could we have earned _more_ profits with a better strategy?"

The market is not rational.

Split adjusted, I bought AAPL for $6 a share. They also pay dividends. This investor is feeling just fine about their stock price.

"Number goes up. I don't care how. I don't even like asking questions."

The referenced lack of rationality on perfect display.

Thank you.

Your dismissive tone is really discouraging me from replying with a legitimate answer to your concerns.

So you only get: people have been predicting the imminent demise of Apple every year for the last 20 and they are still the most valuable non-bubble stock in existence by a country mile.

Keep whining, I'm going to retire early on your whining.

		Once again. It's great you earned money. Does it not bother you that you could have earned TWICE as much if the company didn't make so many stupid bets? To completely ignore this obvious and clear point from the outset to crow about your stock market gains is absolutely the type of irrationality I was describing. I'm not dismissing you. You've just failed to address the actual point.
