APPLE (AAPL) or NVIDIA (NVDA) which was the Better Buy? (Chart)

Chart, APPLE (AAPL) versus NVIDIA (NVDA), Ten Year Chart, Comparison, Monthly Percent Change.

From 2000 to late 2003, Apple traded sideways in a tight range. You had plenty of time to understand the implications of the MAC and the IPod. Kids were begging for the IPod long before the stock took off to the upside.

For most of the decade, NVDA would have been the better buy.

Apple was clearly the better buy over the entire ten year period. However, compared to the market return of most stocks over this same time frame, both Apple and Nvidia were good buys. Of late NVDA is taking off to the upside.

A Tale of Two Stocks Intel and Apple

From time to time I like to go back and take a historical look at stocks. I am thinking about buying some Intel. I also decided to look at Apple.

If you look at the Intel chart below you will notice it was trading in the $15 a share area back in 2002 (after a high around $75).

At the same time in 2002, Apple was trading around $8 a share.

So where are they now? Intel is trading around $13 a share, and Apple is trading around $90 a a share.

I guess this shows that if you buy good stocks you'll make money in the markets (unless you bought Apple at $200).

Which is the better buy right now Intel or Apple?
