Advisors' Opinion:

• [By Andrew Tonner]

  Revenue growth began its precipitous decline for the first time last year, although it's fair to argue the music stopped years before thanks to Apple's (NASDAQ: AAPL  ) iPhone and Google's emerging dominance in the global smartphone space. However, when revenue finally began to decline, it quickly erased many of the hard-fought gains of the past several years in a matter of quarters.

  Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL  ) has fallen out of favor with investors ever since the iPhone 5 was launched in September. The day the device was launched was the exact day that Apple peaked, and shares have given up as much as 45% since then.
