IOW, it's fluctuated above an below 3%, and you're demonstrating why
Maccies have spent years yelling about Mac growth with Mac market

Dropping down below 3%, then rising slightly above 3%, then falling
below 3% is not "growth." It is a net gain of zero.

Yet another of umpteen times a kook like you has told me I "finally
got something right." It's akin to the umpteen times I've been told
I was "right for once."

You fear for your stock dividends.
