Google has a higher profit margin, it should be noted. So yeah, Apple has issued more stock, and by stock prices it is more "valuable". I'd still rather own Google than Apple, if I were given a choice.
- solutionyogi 17y agoReally? From April 2005 to April 2010, AAPL appreciated by 583% whereas GOOG went up by only 219%. AAPL has multiple winners and personally, I would own AAPL vs GOOG.
- jongraehl 17y agoApple's historical appreciation is nearly irrelevant when you consider whether you want to own it today at its present price.
- SwellJoe 17y agoWhen the entire stock market was on sale during the worst of the recession and crash, I considered buying both AAPL and GOOG. I bought a few shares of GOOG, and opted not to buy AAPL, at all. I have ethical issues with AAPL, as well, so that probably also had an impact on my decision. I would have done very well on AAPL, but I've done well on GOOG, as well. Looks like AAPL might have been a slightly better investment...but I'd have to do math to be sure. And, I agree with you and think that GOOG will come out on top in the end.
