AAPL closed at $70.20 on January 14, 2005 For reference, they were in the $20's this time in January 2004.

Stocks do have a tendency to go up and down over time.:evil:

I sold at $50. I bought it at $13. Tidy profit, but I'm STILL kicking my own ass for not holding onto it!

yeah, that's so cool, eh? One good example is how Apple's stock climbed from 20 dollars to 80 dollars while MSFT was around 30 dollars a share in November and now is at $26.:o

Another good example is how Apple's stock has gotten so high that they're performing a stock split to get the price down to a more tradeable price :cheesy:

Are we really doing this? Comparing Microsoft's stock performance to Apple's? Give me a (and everyone else on this board) break.

I dunno, I can only speak for myself, you do what you want, but play nice.

Wow I'm seeing more peaks and valleys here than during my trip to the Rockies!

I think it's really cool how well Apple's doing, and Microsofts relatively mediocre performance this past year must really have some of those lil fellers down in Redmond feeling queasy.

I can do the same thing.

It just depends on where you want to cut it, 1 year like you did, 5 years or 10 years like these charts. I dont see the point, these companies are in two different areas, one mainly software, and the other is involved in both software and hardware.

Heheh, I was wondering if you'd think of doing that. Who knew numbers could be such fun? :p

Its nice to see that both companies are doing good. I don't have any stocks in MSFT or AAPL. Only Yahoo! and some other internet related companies.
