APPL is a dividend stock whilst TSLA is a growth stock so it's somewhat tough to do a direct comparison. I'd go with APPL if I want stability and less volatility (relative to TSLA). But if I'm looking at growth potential, then between these two, TSLA would be the pick.

That being said, it should be noted that the choice between the two stocks is complicated by another thing - investing in APPL is all about the company & it's products; investing in TSLA goes beyond these to also include fanboying Elon Musk as CEO. This complicates matters because TSLA price movements (up or down) are then determined not just by the company's products & performance but also by Elon's behaviours. If Elon behaves properly as a CEO, TSLA price will be fine but the minute he gets into his monkey antics, TSLA price will be negatively affected.

To me, it seems like the final decision to go with APPL or TSLA really depends on whether you are a fan of Apple products or a fan of Elon Musk. As I don't like rich people who act like monkeys, I'd go with APPL 😜
