<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="XYZ">quote:</font><HR> "For 15 years, investors have owned the stock at the same price," said John Bollinger, president of EquityTrader.com and creator of the Bollinger bands technical indicator. "This is shameful. ...You need a fundamental change in the company's business plan."

In contrast, rival Dell Computer (DELL: news, chart, profile) traded at a split-adjusted 10 cents a share in 1988. It closed at $26.34 Tuesday. Even problem-plagued Compaq (CPQ: news, chart, profile) rewarded its shareholders better: It was $1 in 1987, adjusted for splits, and $10.15 on Tuesday.

After hitting a high of 16 percent way back in 1986, Apple's U.S. market steadily declined to around 5 percent, where it has resided since 1997, according to IDC. That's even less than struggling Gateway Computer (GTW: news, chart, profile) has now.

Worldwide, Apple's share has shriveled to less than 3 percent from a one-time peak of more than 9 percent. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> http://www2.marketwatch.com/news/story.asp?guid=%7BBC7AAC8C%2DEFD6%2D4B5E%2D9B4D%2D50A1F97A5166%7D&siteid=macnn
