I was doing some stock research today and decided to compare 4 big tech companies trying to see if there was an easy to to understand how these companies have grown over the past 5 years.
I chose Google, Apple, Microsoft, and IBM. While all of these companies have done pretty well in the last 5 years, what really struck me was just how much Apple has been able to gain in this term. 5 years ago you could get a share of apple for around $44. Now, nearly 450% later, it would cost you $232 to own 1 share. While Apple doesn’t pay any dividends (neither does Google…booo to those companies), if you would have purchased some shares 5 years ago you’d have done well for yourself averaging roughly 41% gain every year!
