Apple Stock instead of products
Kyle Conroy has created a page which shows how much money you would have had if intead of buying an Apple product, you had purchased Apple stock.
If in 1997 you purchased an Apple PowerBook G3 250 for $5,700, you’ll be weeping to know you’d have $330,563 if you had purchased Apple stock instead.
If over 14 years you had purchased every single Apple product, it would have cost you $591,719. If, instead you purchased Apple stock, then you’d be worth $11,120,751.
If even in 2004 one was purchasing Apple stock, you would have had a 1000% return on investment. That $499 ipod would have netted you $5,633 in stock today!
