Apple Product or Apple Stock??

Blogger Kyle Conroy has run some numbers and determined what would have happened if people had taken the cash they plunked down over the years on an iMac, iPod, and iPhone and put that money into Apple stock.

The choice is clear—buy the stock.

For example, if you'd bought an Apple PowerBook G3 250 when it was released on November 10, 1997, it would have cost you a whopping $5,700.

If you'd instead put $5,700 into Apple stock on that day, that investment would be worth...wait for it...I hope you're sitting down...$330,563.

But if everyone had just bought stock instead of product, Apple stock wouldn't have done as well
since no one was buying it's products!

Moral: Go for the JOY!
"Of course, for many, Apple products give you something stock investments can't always buy — joy."
