Now --- having said all of that --- I want you to add to this chart -- Apple (AAPL) stock. Hopefully you know how to do that - there's a small box top left of the chart labeled "compare" -- just type in AAPL and click ADD....

Bet you never saw that one coming!!! LOL

I'll let the responses speak for themselves rather than me spoiling what you're going to see.
Totally didn't see that one coming.....wow.
