Better Buy: Apple vs. Amazon
A college dropout and his electronics engineering friend first started building computers in their parents' garage in 1976. By 1995, their little company had become a force in the tech industry logging its best year ever, selling 4.5 million PCs and eclipsing $11 billion in annual revenues. That same year, a Seattle-based company shipped its first hardback book ordered on its online website boldly claiming to be the Earth's Biggest Book Store.
These two start-ups with humble beginnings and big dreams are now two of the largest companies on the planet and have made many of their shareholders rich. Investors may have missed getting in on the early rise of Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) and Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) stocks, but it's not too late for those who want a piece of the action. Despite their massive size, these two continue to post impressive top-line growth, making their stocks worthy of a closer look.
Let's find out which of these mega-cap stocks would be a better buy for your portfolio today.
