The point is that iOS is way too 2009. Android is stale and boring. Symbian is dead. The only place where something is happening is WP. Won't even mention maemo, tizen et al. Jolla? So far just a bunch of vapor.

You remind me of those diehard Palm dudes or Symbian dudes. Their feet planted in past glory. Unable to see that they are as dead as their OS. I mean, Android certainly is the most popular OS, but also very boring. A phone is a phone. There really isn't that much exciting about them, but as of today WP phones are exciting because things are happening at that camp.
You remind me of a palm reader at a carnival who made a bunch of guesses about me and talked about as if she knew me and the future--but ultimately was really, really wrong and really, really didn't know me at all either. Long-timers here know me well enough to know.

But don't let that stop you--just like the carnival lady, you're good for a fun laugh. Keep trying, lad. I'm sure Windows Phone will also be popular someday.

Which, frankly, I find a bit strange all the while Nokia is completely dependent on Windows 8/Phone 8 success.
Well, not COMPLETELY dependent (Asha for example). Surprise, surprise--Windows Phone wasn't Nokia's saving grace after all.

Not unless you're jumping out with millions and millions of shares, you're more than likely not going to be causing any issues with pulling out of Nokia with the typical shareholder stock amounts.
Well.. and then there's the fact: what's the point of the stock market if it isn't to wait until other people buy into something so you can buy back out of it when it looks inflated and likely to deflate soon? The stock market is all about selfish timing.
