Apple Inc (AAPL)

[Moron]

I can’t believe you posted that!

"So let it be noted that as of today:
AAPL stood at $256.88 a share
MSFT at $25.80."

What good are current prices without including the number of outstanding shares and growth to date?
Apple has just under 910M shares outstanding. MS has 8.76 billion.
$20,000 invested in AAPL at the IPO would be worth just over $1.8M.
That same $20,000 invested in MSFT at their IPO would yield more than $7MILLION today, PLUS DIVIDENDS of more than $1.57MILLION! In short, $20K invested in Apple at the IPO would yield $1.8M today, compared to more than $8.5M in MSFT.

Laize is perhaps the only objective person posting here, and probably among the very few investors, as well. Your response is laughable.


JR - I'm limited to one public post per day here on iCensor. Something about moderators fearing facts or something.

Personally, I think Apple would benefit as a company without Jobs, but since so much of the charm of the company is a direct result of his public persona, I'm confident the stock would take a serious hit, even if only temporarily. In short, he's a much better marketer than businessman. He's great at marketing, but his ego is bigger than his brain.
