You were actually making some sense until that MSFT chart compare argument at the end. Here's an idea: do a DCF calculation for AAPL and figure out the growth required just to justify today's price.

Hi, AAPL and GOOG stocks raised only because of Fed rate cut than their performance. I agree that they've come up with good results. I personally believe that Fed rate cut plays pivotal role in increase of prices of these scrips.

Great post. Apple has grown over 28x in 4.5 years. In other words, $50K in Apple then, would be $1.43M today. Here’s another post that talks about this: http://fishtrain.com/2007/10/23/apples-stock-28x-in-45-years/

FMRT,

tom, you’re right that RIMM has outperformed AAPL over the past year or so (a story in itself) but going back a bit further both AAPL and GOOG have done better than RIMM.

i used the 8/19/2004 starting date (google’s ipo) as the starting point to be consistent with the first graph above.

also, both AAPL and GOOG are significantly cheaper than RIMM on a historical and forward PE basis.
