\]Cvaldes, you misunderstand. Please read again. You say it's significant to you (because of that one share we keep hearing about), but I don't see why. Again, you don't get a dividend and we all know you'll never sell that one share you cherish so much, so what difference does it make to you at all?
You really don't get it, do you?
The Internet isn't writing articles solely for you. It's writing them to be of interest to the overall readership. Not every article is going to be of interest to everyone. If you see something that doesn't interest, you're not required to read it.
You individual usage case is irrelevant.
On an unrelated note, you are wrong about the quantity of AAPL shares I own. I'm not gonna waste my time/money with that kind of chump change
As to selling my shares, who knows? Half of them are sitting in a Roth IRA; I'm not gonna see any of that dough until I retire. The shares sitting in my regular brokerage account? Well, since I have a diversified portfolio, I monitor everything and decide if something can be sold and invested in something else that has a higher potential return.
Since it is outperforming SPY and QQQQ, I'm not particularly inclined to dump my AAPL.
Heck, I'd dump my CSCO or GOOG far before I even think about selling AAPL.
