Stocks From A to C

Apple is a company which makes products which look gorgeous, and which people aspire to buying. Everybody loves the stock, which has been going through the roof. Crocs, on the other hand, is a company which makes products which look atrocious, and which has no aspirational attributes whatsoever. Everybody hates the stock, which has been going through the roof, and whose performance indeed makes that of Apple look decidedly mediocre.

So which of these overvalued but soaring stocks should you buy? Maybe this Wallstrip video can help. Lindsay Campbell uses an Apple laptop, to be sure. It's sleek and it's beautiful. She also hates the shoes ("basically a hollowed-out nerf football for your feet"), and hates the stock as well ("With more and more retailers making their own knock-offs, you kind of have to wonder how long the magic can last"). But when it comes to the Apple vs Crocs showdown, only one of those products can make her fly.*

*Which one of those products made Lindsay Campbell fly is left as an exercise for the reader. But let's just note that since the video came out two months ago, CROX has risen by 70%, more than double the rise in AAPL. Try doing that in Final Cut Pro!
