Apple Inc

Is Apple Inc down and out? If you only read the responses to their latest earnings report then you'd be excused for thinking they were.

Check this out - the stock price for Apple Inc at the close of business Friday May 4, 2001 was $1.84. The price on May 4 2016 was $94.19. 

10,000 shares bought at 1.84 = $18,400

10,000 shares sold at 94.19 = $941,900

That's a capital gain of $923,500. I think you'll agree, a pretty nice return.

Naysayers can be found everywhere. They're often wrong. Apple was thought to have peaked in 2012. Their price then was $80.75.

Now I'm not guaranteeing staggering returns like these. But pick a good company and by sticking with it, you can do a lot better than with real estate or any other form of investment for that matter.
