Very briefly, at the start of trading, Apple was #1 (in market cap).
MAMMA!
Hmm, it was only up 6.24% despite posting the second greatest fiscal quarter in US corporate history?!? Obviously Wall Street still just doesn’t get it.
It’s been reqouted time and again, oft by MDN, but the good old’ Michael Dell line: they should shut the company down and give the money back to the shareholders…
I was thinking the same thing. That quote never gets old.
“failing to disclose material information to investors and using fraudulent accounting to make it appear falsely that the company was consistently meeting Wall Street earnings targets and reducing its operating expenses.”

Mikey’s ponzi scheme doesn’t actually have any money to give back.
😀 Another great day in AAPL land!
So what is making Exxon Mobil’s day so happy?
When they double MS, we should have a big ass party for Steve Balmer and raise our glasses and toast, “as long as it takes!”
hehe
Please. Never use the words “big ass” and Steve Ballmer in the same sentence.
I just threw up in my mouth.
What are the chances of Apple splitting the stock again?
25%
Better chance of Apple beating Google’s price per share.
slim to none
Hey “Monkey Boy” this should give u a Lift.
( “iPhone generated $24.42 billion revenue. During the same quarter, all of Microsoft: $20.89 billion.”)
Yeaaaaaaaaaaaa FOR AS LONG AS IT TAKES.
Was watching CNBC when the stock reopened for trading last night around 4:50pm ET, and I saw the price $468 cross their ticker!
I love Apple, but this really needs to stop:
Human Costs Are Built Into an iPad
and in particular:
“You can set all the rules you want, but they’re meaningless if you don’t give suppliers enough profit to treat workers well”
Human life is worth more than insanely great profits.
Over 23% of Apple’s market capitalization is backed by cash and securities. if Apple’s market cap were a loan, Apple would have as much reserves relative to that loan as a bank…
When you buy AAPL, over 23% of it is a relatively safe investment in liquid assets.
