Also, 401k’s do not “earn interest”.

What? Not by any stretch of the imagination are Macs the “highest selling” computers. Did you mean to say their growth is accelerating the fastest? That may be true (I don’t know), but in any case, you should back it up with a reference.

You’re a horrible writer.

Back several years ago my stepdad had $10,000 he wanted to invest and he asked me for a suggestion. I said Apple. This was when the stock was priced around $18 to $20 per share and before the two stock splits. That would mean that as of today we would have around $108,000 worth of Apple stock and don’t forget about all the dividends paid out since then. What happened to the money? About 75% of it is still sitting in a 401k account that is currently earning 0% percent interest. The missing 25% has gone into a car that hasn’t run in 40 or more years and probably won’t run for another 5 to 10 years at the rate the restoration is going.
