Bloodbath!…
Looks like EXXON is keeping the gap between it and Apple. No biggie. The aapl stock seems primed to start a big push up. Could happen after Xmas or after earning release in Feb.
Keep it up Apple. Doing a great job.
You know…Although I get rapidly tired of repetition (read Zune Tang here), I never get tired of reading this headline. ‘Apple shares hit new all-time high’ over and over.
@DogGone: AAPL earnings release is in Jan.
The g**damn hedge funds did their best to try and tank the stock near the end of the day. Screw them all, go Apple go!
I reckon we’ll soon see headlines that read, “Microsoft shares hit new all-time intraday, closing lows.”
@ watchdog
My bad I couldn’t remember how quickly the quarterly reports get done. So jan it is. That will be fun
Hey Monkey Boy, “How do u Like me Now”
I would like to see ARM, LG, Samsung, Sandisk and Toshiba added to the list. Some are Apple suppliers but that’s not the point.
It’s all about trends.
No problem – no BIG deal ’till AAPL beat sorftie. Then the s hit the f.I hope that A never exceeds that oily turd company. It only brings in the sharks – you know, the oily slimy ones.
With Apple’s cash, and Adobe’s price, it’s just a stocking stuffer. Apple should make a preemptive purchase of Adobe to prevent MS from doing it and migrating PS to Windows-only aps. That would lose too many graphics pros for my taste. Doing the reverse, would see Apple’s share increase even more while MS would be sliding even more quickly down the tubes.
How would the customers react if the board of Apple would replace Steve with Michael Dell as CEO next week? ” width=”19″ height=”19″ alt=”wink” style=”border:0;” />
