AAPL since Election Day:
Typical Fwhatever…giving GOP leadership credit for anything positive and ignoring the negative. Also typical, focusing on the short term and ignoring the fact that it might just be the continuation of a longer term trend. In addition, if the trend above reverses itself over the next few months then you will either never hear about it from Fwhatever, or he will conjure a reason to blame it on “libtards.”
You are a pox on this forum and this country, Fwhatever.
First doofus, here’s what you said the other day about Cook: “What Cook really fears is that the loss of leftist control over the “news” is “killing people’s minds” to being receptive to the lie that is statist globalism.”
Now you’re crowing about the stock price – oh, I’m sorry, Trumpf, so-called President, is managing Apple and is the reason they have $200billion+ in cash on their balance sheet. Trumpf has guided the growth in Apple services revenue. Trumpf has managed Apple supply lines and was Jobs’ third hire in 1997 and the person Jobs handed the company to. You are a total effing idiot drone.
And when the market tanks with Republicans all around it will somehow be the “Libs/Dems/Progs” fault in ConservaTard World.
The natives (Trump Voters) are already getting restless. Jason Chaffetz in Deep Red Utah was already hounded by voters with the chant “Do Your Job. This in the state that threw out the 2nd most Conservative Senator (by voting record) couple of years back because he wasn’t a “True Conservative”.
When Eddie Munster (Paul Ryan) throws between 20-30 million people off of their health insurance it is going to be open season on Republicans at the polls. Drumpf will be a one term wonder.
Marketcap isn’t as high as it was back then though (still about $50B+ below) due to all the stock repurchases since. Need another 7% or so till they reach parity value.
Market cap is market cap. Repurchases do absolutely nothing to change that. There’s one pie, and it’s market cap is $699B. Shares are just slices of that pie. It does not matter how many there are.
Conversely, the market cap is what it is *after* all those dividend payouts. So in that sense the cap would be otherwise be that much higher now.
They are not unrelated. Marketcap is literally (stock price * shares outstanding). Stock repurchases ‘retire’ outstanding shares and would normally increase the price of the remaining shares. How do you explain then how the price is at an all time high but the marketcap is at least $50B lower than in Aug.2015? You are correct that dividend payouts reduce marketcap, but if you notice the price of shares are usually reduced by that amount post-dividend.
Here’s a link for your edification (see Calculating Market Cap):

You are right. I made the foolish assumption that they had reached a market cap high, not just a share price number, which as you point out isn’t a particularly meaningful metric. Reading it again it seems obvious now 🙂
GOD BLESS OUR NEW FACIST DICTATOR!
What’s the matter MDN? You delete posts that don’t agree with your Nazi regime?
Apparently, they delete posts from (most) of the unhinged idiots on this forum. Fwhatever and botty seem to get a pass.
The Bot provides entertainment value. And that’s gotta count for something. 😁
To the Moon Apple…and this time leave the naysayers in the dust.
It’s not 799 billion, I’m not impressed.
So how come when Apple displeases you armchair quarterbacks, you blame Tim Cook, but give him no credit for twice bringing AAPL to these lofty heights? I’m surprised Steve Jobs appointed him instead of you. I’m sure he would have rebelled in you bashing his hand picked successor. Read Dilger’s article today on why Apple doesn’t listen to Tech Pundits business advice, and triple that for you arrogant know it also. Me, I’ll stick with Tim and buy great products that Apple does make and laugh all the way to the bank with AAPL!
The same folks who blame Cook when AAPL is down give Trump credit when AAPL is up. Apparently Trump craps golden turds and belches wisdom.
Yes, Burp
I’m still disappointed with Apple and Tim Cook.
First, while in absolute dollars the closing stock price was at it’s highest ever, just adjusting for inflation and nothing else it’s still lower than its historical high. When you add in the overall market value indicators (S&P, DowJones, NASDAQ, etc.) and where they are today versus where they were then as compared to where APPL is today versus where it was then, then APPL is definitely not looking so great.
Second, while I and most long term APPL holders are happy to see APPL back up, this focus on Wall Street and pleasing the banks is one of the things I dislike most about Apple and its current management. Apple’s focus needs to be on making the best products and services ever and make those better for their customers than anyone else does. The recent fiasco with dropping Apple displays and going with LG only to find out that the LG displays have major problems is but one of many, many areas where Apple has lost its product focus.
Unfortunately, Apple is more about making a “great company” and raising the stock price than about making great products and providing the absolute best experience for its customers and users. Apple needs to realign its priorities. Apple needs to take the bean counters and marketers down a notch or two and raise the product developers up several notches.
Apple stock up 1250% since I bought in 12 years ago. That’s an average of 100% per year. Not bad for a doomed company.
The world is a place
Of sadness, except when it
Makes your dreams come true
Profound
And more than a bit dismal in terms of overall outlook. While poetic, I do not subscribe to that philosophy, Herself.
glad to see real networks is still around and kicking.
I’ve missed these kinds of posts! I hope we have many more this year!
Let me open the envelope, I’ve been waiting a long time for this.
Quote news: “new all-time closing high of $133.29.”
Alt news: “new all-time closing high of $133.29.”
Poly news under the chump: “new all-time closing high of $133.29.”
imaginary poly news under hilarious: “new all-time closing high of $133.29. ”
Jay Morrison’s suggested CEO for Apple: ” “new all-time closing low of 13329 won.”
huh?
It’s a joke, that points out that regardless of who is president of Apple’s home nation, the price of Apple’s most recent all-time closing high is the same. It also pokes fun that Jay Morrison’s (a constant whiner about Apple’s Tim Cook) imaginary iCEO for Apple would have Apple at an all time low.
The won is a currency used in South Korea.
1 South Korean won = 0.0008781 dollars
I missed this headline. Let’s have many more to come!
Next target $142.86, got the single malt on standby.
Funny how all the people calling for the ouster of Tim can’t be found posting about this news…
They can be found with extremely little effort. Further, the vast majority of their reasons are still perfectly valid. All you have to do is look beyond the iPhone and Apple Watch to see a vast array of reasons we still are unhappy with Cook and Apple — even though many of us are long term APPL holders.
Anyone that thinks this ISN’T a direct result of Trumps win is delusional.
More terrible news for Neo-Liberals who wanted a woman in the white house, principally bc she was a woman, which is ironically sexist.
Carl Icahn, where are you? Buffet kicked your tail yet again.
