I'm really not sure I get her beef.

If I bought $1MM worth of AAPL in 2003 at $10/share, I'd have $57MM. But if I bought it in December 97, at $3.30/share, I could have $150MM! What an idiot am I!

AH made out like bandits here; I'm sure they feel just fine about it.

"not sure I get her beef"

There is a saying in news business "if it bleeds it leads".

The negative angle draws in viewers and readers on certain topics and in certain situations. My guess is that that she decided this angle would get more views and interest.

Given how the page fared on HN, she's probably right.
