To the Moon Apple !
Three months ago (mid-March), AAPL was around 20% away from MSFT. We were all confident, Apple would reach and surpass MSFT by the end of the year.
AAPL is now less than 20% away from XOM (Exxon-Mobil). Should we be as confident as we were three months ago that AAPL will surpass XOM and become the largest company in US by market cap before the year is out…?
keep it going to the moon! 300 by july!
Never get tired of this!
I watch the stock all day long on the iphone at work (“stocks”- Apple’s app).
There, you can select randomly price, percentage, or market cap
views. I ALWAYS enjoyed watching Apple catch up to, then surpass, first Walmart. Then MS. Now $18b BIGGER than MS.
What just caught me by surprise- NOT THAT FAR OFF FROM #1!
holy shit
> Apple’s previous closing high was $271.87 set yesterday.
I believe the previous closing high was something like $72.50, set a few months ago, not yesterday’s closing number.
Makes my weekend that much SWEETER!!!
HOW BOUT THEM APPLES Naysayers????!!!!
Greatest Story EVER TOLD!!!!
They Eared IT!
I missed you “new all-time intraday, closing high”
AAPL will surpass Exxon by year’s end. Just wait for the next to quarter’s financial results where they divulge iPhone 4 and iPad sales.
“It’s a rounding error”, Steve Balmer.
Only $50 billion to pass Exxon-Mobil!
You had me at “New All Time”
For those keeping track, AAPL would need to trade at $326.71 to pass Exxon’s current market value.
I’m sure glad I didn’t dump my shares. Lately I’ve made more $$$ with my AAPL shares than I do going to work. Well, not really if averaged out but some days I have.

We’re just one oil spill away by Exxon/Mobil for Apple to pass them.
Exxon Mobil does not seem all that far off now…
I honestly LOVE Apple, and would venture to say that I have been enjoying Apple products longer then most (since 1979). BUT, and this is a BIG BUT… this stock price is NOT going to last. I will pull back significantly in the near future in my opinion.
I have ALWAYS seen this, when everybody and their uncle is talking about a particular stock, its time for a pullback.
Take care if you plan to buy at these elevated levels…..
Zul Zorander:
Oooooooooooooh, all that time and you still can’ t call a duck a duck?
The fundamentals are clearly there: Apple is not significantly overvalued, and may well be undervalued.
Too bad the stock market is largely irrational. Apple could well be due for a major pull-back.
OTOH, most times when people are talking about a stock, it’s for its performance as a stock. Most of the time, people are talking about Apple for its performance as a money-making machine; perhaps it will prove the exception to the “when your shoe shine boy is talking stock…” rule.
I think we can drop Real Networks from the list next time. Does anybody even use it anymore. I cannot remember the last time I saw a website that used RealPlayer.
Why is Google listed before IBM? Its market cap is aller?
Thursday, November 20, 2008 Apple stock closed at $80.49. What was that you were saying Zul?
How is Real Networks worth $500m? What do they even make money on?
aapl’s valuation makes it a cheap stock, it’s not a crowded trade yet and it’s not a bubble because the growth is real. even though everyone talks about it it doesn’t mean they are buying. institutions are, and thats what matters. a month or so ago it was trading at 225, it even made it to 200 in the flash crash. the pullback everyone fears happened allready. this stock will get hit hard when apple misses expectations, and i don’t see that coming for the next 2 to 3 when everyone and their dog has an iphone.
Intraday and closing numbers cannot be used in the same sentence. The price either achieved an intra-day high, meaning a high during trading hours, or it closed at a high. Using both terms, as you do, makes no sense. Other than that, I love your site and visit often.
