That's an impressive job of spin as I've ever seen. Over that 20 month period, AAPL is down around 10% while the broader tech market (e.g., Nasdaq) is up about 30%. Add in dividends to both and the performance gap doesn't change much. Of course it's possible to come up with hypothetical scenarios where someone had the foresight to market time either investment with brilliant accuracy, but the reality is that shorting Apple over the past 20 months while going long the market would have been the best combination of the two aforementioned positions.
