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


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

Apple Versus Nvidia percent change 328


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.
