<Interesting the world you live in, soup. You buy stocks for enjoyment <of product use, not for investment results.
I live in this world, too. Of course you know, Alomex, that all technical analysis is at last based upon the success of any given product -- the degree to which it is used -- and for a product to be successful there have to be people who like using it. Again, "Quality Sells Itself."
Bottom line, you're running up against people who believe in Apple products, and it's difficult, obviously, to fight the reasoning of someone who says "I like using Apple products, I believe in Apple products and the company strategy (whatever it may be at a given time), and I am going to invest in the company based on my belief."
I'm willing to concede that you and I have differing views about how to approach investing.
Good luck to you in any case.
