Interesting up 2.65% and the dividend they are paying is $2.65 – creepy
Just FIVE WEEKS ago, AAPL steamrolled through $500. 🙂
52 week low of $310..
Damn near doubled the price in just a year.
I was super happy sitting at £400 over Christmas. Now 600 and today Apple has told me it’s going to pay for all my apple goodies every year with a divi. Amazing
It’s incredible that TODAY anyone with 1000 shares made $15,000 and in the last year made close to $300,000
I sound my barbaric YAWP!
And anyone who bought those 1000 shares back in 2003 paid only $7000 for them.
Wish I bought that many when I had the chance!
Yes they did, didn’t they?
I would have thought the volume would have been in the 40 – 50 millions range on the news. Still, up 15 and another 4 after hours cant complain. Unlike some ANALysts that are dissin Apple dividend for not being in the 2-3 percent range. I guess they don’t understand you start small and raise your dividend over the years.
On my cost basis, the dividend yield is 5%.
That numb nut, Doug Kaas, who compared Apple to Google in 2007, closed half his short position this morning. Clearly, he’s giving up on his premise that Apple will fall 48% in the next 18 months, since that’s what Google did from 2007 to 2009. Shorts get slaughtered!
I really like it when the AAPL shorts get slaughtered.
Most of the professional analysts see AAPL as a group of numbers, to be compared to what they think is a similar company at another time.
Those who know Apple will have a better ability to understand and invest in it.
Now over 2 x MS. Love your work Mikey B!
On August 26, 2011, Apple’s market cap was $355.61B.
If this were a marathon race on a Grand Prix circuit Apple would have overtaken the following rivals a number of times:
a) XOM: 1.4
b) MSFT: 2.1
c) IBM: 2.35
d) GOOG: 2.7
e) INTC: 4
f) AMZN: 6.64
g) HPQ: 11.64
h) DELL: 18.3
i) SNE: 25.8
j) NOK: 28
k) ADBE: 32.9
l) MMI: 47.2
z) RNWK: 1557
As small private investors, my wife and I are astounded that someone {at Apple} sees little value in a stock split! Say 3 or 4 for one … I know hundreds of people {who know hundreds of people} who would take out a mortgage on their house to buy Apple at say a theoretical $80….
Imagine the world reaction to Apple at $80 in the next few weeks! Apple paints itself with a greedy colour {yes, we are Canadian} to keep average people out. Qui bono?
That’s ridiculous. Unless you were planning to buy one share (or just a few) for “$80” a share, just decide on how much you want to invest in total, divide that amount by $600, and buy that many shares.
If you believe 300 shares at $100 is magically better than 50 shares at $600, you probably should be investing in stocks.
Agreed. It seems that a lot of people think that if the stock split, it would magically run up from say the theoretical $80 per share price back up to $600. Of course, it wouldn’t.
If the current stock price is a barrier of entry, then those people should consider investing by purchasing fractional shares through someone like sharebuilder or buyandhold.com.
