AAPL quote via NASDAQ here.
Why is MS still number #3. Time for that POS to drop to #10.
Get ready to copy paste this same template into a MDN announcement most evenings this year. Will shadow the bitchslapping Pelosi and her clueless dumbasses take every day this year.
Just want to point out that GE is still an American company. That would make it #5, and Google #6, and so on.
Also, now that we’re at it, Microsoft is the 6th most valuable public company in the world, while Apple appears to be the 3rd, very, very close to PetroChina (as of now, there’s just about a 60 million difference).
@ KTachyon: Huh?
Apple passed PetroChina way back last September and, according to Google Finance, is far beyond it now in terms of market capitalization:

When AAPL hits $335 the next stop will be $350. Maybe after the profit-taking subsides after the forthcoming quarterly earnings report.
@x
I believe Pelosi’s husband is one of the largest holders of Apple stock.
You may want to check SHA:601857 instead of NYSE:PTR. You will then have to convert the currency from CNY to USD. That’s PetroChina’s actual value.
@ KTachyon: Uh, okay…
That puts PetroChina at $300.8 billion vs. Apple at $306.5 billion. Apple is solidly #2 in the market cap race.
@Don
A 2% diff is barely solid. But it’s OK. Google Finance isn’t actually the best place to get this kind of info. For instance, Bloomberg shows a different market value for PetroChina’s cap on Shangai Exchange (not saying that bloomberg has the right value, but it’s far more professional

Anyway, when people say that Apple has surpassed PetroChina a long ago… It’s true and false at the same time. Apple surpassed PetroChina’s mkt cap back in September, I believe. But PetroChina bounced back up on the same day.
Not that there’s anything related between the companies, it’s comparing Apples with… petrol, lol.
Still, Apple can easily catch Exxon, they just need excellent results. No one expects anything but that from Apple
