It’s been close to three years since we officially came out of a recession, and pretty much everyone is doing better, albeit not as much as they might like.  A certain company named Apple, however, has really left the recession in the dust.  From consistently leading consumer electronic brands to beautiful money management (they don’t have a penny of debt), Apple has really set an example that other aspiring companies would do well to follow.

Today, Apple is trading at just under $600 a share!  Here is Apple’s stock value growth over the last 3 years compared with the rest of the S&P 500:

AAPL vs S&P 500 gains over 3 years

My only regret from buying Apple stock is not having bought more of it when I did.
