The closing price was actually $636.23 not $636.28.

A plane lands safely at the airport!

Apple shares hit new all-time intraday, closing highs!
And this is news, how?
These articles should be restricted to Apple closing gains of no less than $10. $630, $640, $650, etc. $2 gains ain’t even worth a mention.
Any comments Mr. Zabitsky? Hello? hello?…..helloooooo?
50% more valuable than the NEXT largest company. That’s WILD.
i Yi Yi….. Yi i…….. Let the yellow Journalisim begin. Short my ASS! Naysayers?
Without using a calculator, a rough addition in my mind gives Apple = the following companies’ combined market valuations:
• Intel (INTC) – $138.94B
• Cisco (CSCO) – $107.75B
• Amazon (AMZN) – $87.40B
• Disney (DIS) – $77.53B
• Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) – $45.82B
• Dell (DELL) – $28.60B
• Sony (SNE) – $20.18B
• Nokia (NOK) – $19.11B
• Yahoo! (YHOO) – $18.35B
• Adobe (ADBE) – $16.51B
• Motorola Mobility (MMI) – $11.73B
• Research In Motion (RIMM) – $6.84B
Insatiable!
Armed with my iPhone calculator, I now stand corrected and add the rest (down the order) from MDN’s selected list:
• Sirius XM (SIRI) – $8.71B
• Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) – $5.41B
• RealNetworks (RNWK) – $0.34B
Maybe time to bring in some other tech stocks to the list (not just the competition), i.e., Oracle, InfoSys, (and other markets) Samsung, HTC etc.
Also an interesting tidbit from Barron’s:
“Closet indexers are probably aware that Apple’s market capitalization of $560 billion on March 30th matches the combined cap of the bottom 125 companies in the S&P 500. Yet Apple’s sales and earnings today are several-fold those of Cisco Systems when that company’s market cap matched the smallest 190 companies in the S&P 500 in March 2000.
“Apple is worth more than the entire S&P Small Cap 600 ($560 billion versus $540 billion). Extreme? Yes, but Apple’s 2011 calendar net income of $32 billion exceeded the combined net income of the Small Cap 600 by about 60%.”
