Not very easily, you could not have, because there are few other periods for which your alleged point could have been made.

"I cited 20 months because it was what MGV used as his period to claim that AAPL has been a good investment."

That wasn't his point. His point was that knowledgeable investors knew that Apple was not going to 200, it wasn't going to 0, and that the overshoot on the downside represented "back up the truck" time.

That is a gross mischaracterization of what I "wrote." Pyslent got it. It wasn't that difficult to get. Assuming the worst possible time to initiate a position in Apple, the opportunity presented by the mispricing exceeded the worst possible timing.
