funny and painful for me that you should mention apple. I think that what differentiated apple from the pack of other former tech hi fliers was customer loyalty, and the leadership of jobs.
nokia and rimm just seem to me to be going the way of attari.
the thing is no one at the time understood how big i tunes was going to be for apple, and how well it would mesh with apples existing and future products.

Jurgis, xlnt post.... AAPL may be the broken down stock of the decade that made many millionaires and I missed the whole thing (although I am a holder now). And even if I did buy it I would've probably made a double out of it, sold out, and moved on while missing the whole ride. My view of apple was expensive and proprietary, but cool.

Another one I hate myself for missing was google. I just blocked it out as part of the tech bubble. I didn't understand it.
