APPLE history - what happened in the last 40 years?
Apple is a company trusted by millions of investors all arounf the world. And sometimes I have to stop and ask myself - why? Only in the last year Apple has shown uneven performance tied with failed products. And still we are coming for more. Year after year. 

And I think that I am not the only one who thinks about it and who asks themselves this question. And I though that the answer I am searching for lies in the history of the company. 

After all we tend to believe companies with long and intersting history. 

So, if you are still looking for an answer - dive in and search for an answer in the hostory of APPLE.
