  1. I don’t own any Apple stock. Why? Because if I did, the stock would immediately tank. Trust me–I have a history. So, in order to save Apple, I resisted buying Apple stock when it was $14. If I had, Apple would surely be out of business by now.

    So when you look at your gains from the stock, remember those of us who resisted so that you could make money. A check would be nice…

  2. Peter, I know exactly what you mean. I bought 20 when it was at $50 way back when and the next day it fell to $25 and kept dropping. I vowed then never to jinx it again. ” width=”19″ height=”19″ alt=”wink” style=”border:0;” />

  3. common suppy concerns, I sold at 80, want back in at 70, where is the bad press we all know and love. ” width=”19″ height=”19″ alt=”smile” style=”border:0;” />

  4. On the 5th September, Apple had a market cap that was worth 41.3% of Sony’s market cap.

    As of close of business today, that figure is now 94.6%.

    Want to compare something more interesting?

    AAPL was worth around 24.8% of HP’s market cap on 05/09.

    Now that figure is 53.5%.

    MSFT??: 4.57% on 05/09. 11.40% today.

  5. Well, the last 2:1 split was 21/06/00 – so all of the following is the data for 20/06.

    Open: 98.50
    Close: 101.25
    Low: 98.37
    High: 103.94

    The adjusted close price based on today’s issued share capital was $50.62.

    Hope that answers your question.

  6. i bought 2000 at 65, think i’ll get one of those nice powerbooks now, with a 30 in display, and a new ipod, photo, 60 gig. yeah baby.
    and, a powermac g5, for the desktop.

  7. The new addition to the Apple Mac line is the Low^Rider
    we’ve all waited for to boost The Apple brand on the
    computer side of the family.

    Stock price soars & Apple is a legitimate investment at
    it’s current price and thought by many to go even
    higher. This means higher and more stable profits
    when the big money jumps in.

    I’d like to call this a business model…a plan of
    attack perhaps, but in any case — my background
    isn’t fortified with history, only results.

    Any good comparisons would be appreciated (email

    Cool, cool water… give me some water!
