I didn't mean to imply that at all. Hope my post didn't come across that way.
Actually, I'm very risk averse too.
That's why I like investing in a company trading at just a bit over 12 times TTM earnings (and even less when you look at forward earnings, not to mention both historical growth and the expectations of growth based on what is happening in the sectors Apple operates in) and holding a big fraction of their market cap in cash (even after backing out all the low-interest debt). I also like investing in a company where management does what they say they will do and is fundamentally honest. Also where the base product is entrenched in a unique ecosystem that has not fallen, despite the attempts of many of the other biggest and best resourced companies in the world to do it. All of this is hard to find. It just happens all to be in the biggest publicly traded company in the world by market capitalization. That's ok with me. I don't mind investing in very small companies, and I don't mind investing in the biggest, too.
Of course, there are risks. For the most obvious one right now, Apple has invested a lot in selling to Chinese consumers, in mainland China. That's a huge chunk of Apple's revenue. But I don't think a slowdown or even a recession in China spells doom for Apple in China or Apple in general. Many do, though, including people who are smarter than me. That's ok. I'm pretty confident that the current price more than compensates for the risks that do exist.
