My point is that your performance-based evidence is no substitute for prognostication. How well a company is currently doing tells you nothing about their prospects, only their preparedness.
As I thought, you are not a trader. You are another me too shareholder. A trader wouldn't spend an inornate amount of time on a brand fan site doing "research". He wouldn't obsess over a single stock or two. He would be looking for the next potential headline maker.
If you’re buying a stock to trade, you will lose money in the long term, period. I don’t do my research on a forum. I am a fundamental investor, so I look to the business.
You don’t buy or even trade GOOGL shares based on their hardware or other bets businesses. You buy GOOGL because of their cash flow, growth, ad dominance, or if you’re a trader, technicals.
I make a lot better returns than traders because traders can’t even beat the market over time. Don’t tell me they can. Almost no one can.

Oh, ok. I'm using a completely failed device that works WAY better for my need than iOS ever could. I'll remember that when I can use firefox's gecko rather than safari's webview. Or download apps from wherever I want. Or have a system wide adblocker. Or a fantastic single lens camera.
This is my ****ing problem with your people on this website. Crying about people that use Android, when it works for them. Sorry I don't want to spend $1400 on a phone that I'm practically renting from a company lmao ffs man.
This is an Apple site. The fact there is even Google news here is sort of wrong. If you like Android, maybe you should hang out on Android Forums. I’m not the one out of place here.

Based on research, Google's smart phone market share has gone up considerably since the launch of the pixel, compared to Apple's which is on a decline since approximately the same time period
Post the data. Google started from zero, so they will have
some growth because they were nothing.

Bud, all smartphone companies are down in volume Q1 19 vs 18 other than Huawei. Apple was down the most of the big companies at -30%. Everyone but Huawei putting out terrible smartphone hardware? Especially Apple? You can't judge the quality of a product strictly on sales success.
The 30% figure you’re quoting is a guess from a research company. The official data from Apple shows a 17% decline in iPhone revenue, which is all we have at this point since units aren’t reported.
The decline is due to a tough compare with the strong launch of the original iPhone X that lasted from about Nov 2017 until summer 2018. Also, China trade relations have hurt iPhone but it has improved more recently.
Don’t talk to me about everyone struggling and Pixel is just a casualty of that. Pixel has never been successful. iPhone decline is because Apple is a victim of their own dominance. It’s hard to keep,putting up record after record, particularly when Apple put up an amazing $166B in iPhone sales alone in 2018. No one is surprised at the decline...which is why Apple is moving to services.
Active devices are still increasing for Apple and wearables, services, and even iPad are growing nicely.
Google fit is great at exercise detection and tracking and supports a lot more in this respect than Apple. That’s what’s important to me.
