Apple is one of the most profitable and well known companies in the world. But back in 2006, Apple was a company with a very few successful products and with less to no recognition. It was with the Mac line of computers and iPod that cemented the company as a success. In 2006, the Apple had turned in yearly profit of around $2.4 billion. But in just 10 years time, the company generates a quarterly revenue of at least $40 billion. This is a stratospheric rise for the company and the share prices have gone from just $10 USD a share to over $150 USD. The investors who recognized the earlier opportunity have received a 15x profit over the last decade. Even Warren Buffett is said to have entered a position in the company back in 2006. Imagine if you had bought just $10000 worth of shares back then, you would have close to $150000 as ROI. That return might not seem a lot in the Cryptocurrency world, but a dream of an investment for institutional investors.
