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!
