Google stock has been doing great in 2013 but the actual stock price really doesn't matter or says anything about the stock.
For example, unlike Microsoft, Google has not had any splits. Microsoft has had seven 2 to 1 splits and three 3 to 2 splits, plus they give a dividend. Without stock splits, a Microsoft share would potentially be worth over 10,000 dollars today from when they went public in 1986.
But since people talk about current stock trends, here is a stock comparison between the big 3 for 2013.
If you invested 10,000 dollars in each company on Jan 1, 2013, here is how much money you would have today. (July 15, 2013)
Apple - (10,000/606.91)*427.44 + 90 (dividend) = $ 7,132.89
Google - (10,000/723.25)*924.69 = $12,785
Microsoft - (10,000/27.62)*36.17 + 160 (dividend) = $13,255
So yeah...If you investend money in 2013 Apple lost 28% of your money, Google gained you 28% and Microsoft gained 32%.
Dallas can sing his earnings song abount Microsoft getting destroyed all he wants, but these are the facts.
