However, the entire gain for Apple was concentrated in the window of January '09 to September '12. If you bought at any time in the other than that 3.75 year window, odds are you've lost money.

What?

Look at the chart again. The only time that Apple has been above 100 was for about a week in 2012 and August 2014 to Feb 2016. All other purchases in the last decade are profitable. A buy and holder investor made a ton of money. Anybody who was dollar cost averaging has made quite a bit of money. Most traders made a lot of money.

The only longs who didnt make money over the last decade are buy high sell low types. If you panic when a stock drops, then the problem isnt the stock.
