Get the Hammer out!.
Very cool. This should be the start of a new ramp up. Any guesses where it will top out to in the short term?
I’m guessing $380
No end in sight, really. Apple is already preparing to reach new markets on other planets. You might say their strategy is to rocket out to where the space puck is going to be.
In fact, Apple engineers are hard at work designing 4-earbud sets for creatures that have evolved with quadraphonic hearing. Rumor has it the technology must be completely wireless because of the length of their ear talks.
MDN Magic Word: “change”: The future is just beginning.
It is good to see this message again. I never get tired of it.
On January 14 Apple stock was valued 73B less than Exxon. Exxon is pulling away with the high oil prices.
Apple is catching up to Wintel:
Apple (AAPL) – $324.01B
Microsoft (MSFT) – $236.93B
Intel (INTC) – $120.47B
Wintel = $357B
Owning XOM too is the best plan.
And no MSFT.
Go Real Networks!! (… to hell)
Apple fails to garner consumer interest with iPhones and iPads. Consumers want oil, not shiny computing devices. ExxonMobil is leaving Apple in the dust. Apple is in the wrong business with or without Steve Jobs health issues. No point in trying to compare Apple with ExxonMobil. Apple will never become a trillion dollar company and ExxonMobil will be there by the end of this year.
Zowie! Now 12x Dell – smile Mikey smile.
@Monger.
You got that wrong, bud! Apple is actually creating those aliens to fit the iLine of products.

MSFT pays a dividend. At $28 their stock is too high, but if it goes back down to $24 I may pick some up, just for that dividend which they will be paying, because of Windoze and Word, for years to come.
Exxon is limited by the price of oil (could perhaps double — but unlikely). Apple has no such limit.
