Couldn't disagree more. It shows that the shareholder has endured a drop, based on sales yet falling marketshare - their best selling products are from their mid to low-range products and that will only do so much for a company.

Investors that don't immediately see the positives of buying and then opening Symbian - only to have Symbian considered a "dead OS" by a lot of folks around here, or coming out with a Maemo OS phone, only to announce 6 months later MeeGo is the new direction and then watch the madness unfold because months later people had to wait for PR1.2 and then get a notice that they were not going to get official Nokia support for going from Maemo to MeeGo... and no communication from Nokia to their loyal fans, the investors see that.

Has very little do to with fads; investors want to make money. And if the company seems like they're being directed wrong or have no direction, your company will lose share price(s).

Be realistic.
