Apple Computer stock as a money substitute

I don't really like Apple Computer or understand its stock valuation, but I heard or read something about Apple Computer stock being a money substitute along with gold.  How does it compare to gold?

The price of gold was $1604 on August 3, 2012.  Today (Sept. 14) it is $1771, for a gain of 10.4%.

The price of AAPL was $616 on August 3.  Today (Sept. 14) it is $693, for a gain of 12.5%.

I'd say it compares pretty well.  Actually almost anything is better than the dollar at this point.
