Microsoft stock versus Apple stock.


In 1997, Microsoft invested $150 million in Apple.

The thinking was to keep MS Office alive on Apple, and also to help avoid antitrust suits.

If you look at Apple stock for the past ten years, you'll notice it is up just over 1000%. If you look at Microsoft stock for the past ten years it is down roughly 19%.

Microsoft then made 18 billion dollars on sales of that stock.
