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.
It is exactly what I said : you are looking at the past and you don't understand the logic. Personnally I think Nokia decisions make sense. Of course their current range of device is not really exciting, but it is to be expected when you make a major platform rewrite. But MeeGo and symbian^4 are very promising platforms and the current stock valuation doesn't reflect that...
