What would come about if, instead of shopping for the latest Apple iphone each and every time Apple launches one particular, you bought that very same volume of Apple inventory?
There is a tweet floating all around saying that if you experienced acquired Apple shares instead of an Iphone every single time they arrived out, you’d have hundreds of tens of millions of pounds. The math is off (if you’d expended $20k on Apple stock when the rumors of the Iphone to start with began, you’d have $one.5 million these days, at ideal) but in any scenario – it’d only make feeling if you were being clairvoyant in 2007, and understood when Apple would be launching phones, and at which selling price.
I figured a much more reasonable way of calculating it would be to envision get a major-of-the-line Apple iphone each time Apple releases a new Iphone, or expend the very same quantity on Apple inventory. If you had completed that, by my calculations, you’d have spent all-around $sixteen,000 on iPhones more than the a long time (that is about $twenty,000 in today’s dollars). If you’d purchased Apple shares as an alternative, you’d now have $147,000 or so — or a revenue of about $131,000.
