On May 1, Apple Inc. (Nasdaq: AAPL) released a stellar earnings report, pushing the company's stock up 4% in just one day.
Despite the company's recent performance, many investors are still skeptical that Apple stock is still the best investment available.
In just the last year, Apple's stock has already risen 36% – an increase that seems to give the company little room to continue its run.
Investor confidence has also been plagued with rumors about cutbacks at several of the company's largest manufacturing plants in response to dwindling Chinese sales.
