GigaOM | The Great Apple Stock Debate
by: Stuart

I not really sure what to make of this story written by Kevin Kelleher.

If you have ever seen our other Apple posts, you know that we are not lovers of all things Apple. Love some of the product design, interface design and some of the marketing (not the I’m a Mac…).The Great Apple Stock Debate

So take this post anyway you want, I just found it to be an interesting view. A segment of the GigaOM post below:

Pop quiz: Rank these four companies, listed alphabetically, in order of their stock performance over the past five years. (Okay, it’s sort-of a trick question, because Google went public less than three years ago, but bear with me.)

  • Apple
  • Amazon.com
  • Autodesk
  • Google

The Great Apple Stock DebateThe answers, and the reason for bringing all this up, are below the jump. 

It’s probably not a surprise to find Apple on top. But consider: The second best-performing stock of the group - Autodesk, hailed not long ago as a major tech turnaround - has gained only a bit more than half as much ground as Apple. And Autodesk is up 600%. Google is further back with a 400% gain; while Amazon, this year’s buzzboy, lags slightly behind. .: FULL ARTICILE :.
