Some people posting here act like they have never heard of “brand loyalty” and the emotional-psychological factors that contribute to it. Why is it some folks only drink Budweiser, smoke Marlboros, or drive Corvettes?

In 1988 I bought my first home computer, a Mac Plus. During the 1990’s, little by little I invested about $16,000 in Apple stock and just held on to it all these years, through thick and thin. Today my $16,000 investment is worth $306,000; a 1,900%+ return on my investment. Apple bin bery, bery good to me!
I reward the company with my loyalty to the brand, even though I also own non-Apple devices and computers as well.

Everything is sunny at Apple
“The company added to its trophy case Tuesday when its value surpassed $700 billion. That wasn’t just a record for Apple, it was a new record for any U.S. company.”

(Apple briefly touched this valuation in November, but Tuesday marked the first time it closed at that level, a far more significant achievement.)
Apple is in a league of its own. The next largest company, Exxon Mobil, is worth $382 billion.
