Dang I wonder what the stock would be worth if you bought it in 2008?

Well, just to pick a day at random, AAPL closed at $23.01 on 18 April, 2008.

AAPL closing price on Friday 4 August 2017 (last Friday) was $156.39, which is a factor of X 6.8, or 580%, over a period of 3395 days, which is 9.30 years.

This gives a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 22.9%, which is very, very good.

Over the same period, the DJIA advanced at an annual rate of 5.82%

Oh — I should have added — AAPL prices I quoted are adjusted for the 7:1 split that happened on 9 June 2014.
