On April 4, 2022, Elon Musk bought over $3 billion in Twitter stock, making him the largest owner of Twitter at a 9.2% stake. But why would Elon Musk do this?

Owning Apple stock for the past 20 years would have provided a 35% compounded annual return. But are they still a great stock to own or buy? We’ll compare Apple between 2 periods: (1) 2002-2011 and (2) 2012-2021. We’ll test if they are still a quality company, or if they have changed. I’ll also walk through the different stages of the Business Lifecycle Apple has experienced through the last 20 years. And finally, we’ll talk about the future of Apple and what we could maybe expect from holding their stock as an investor.
