Energizer bunny, anyone?
So much for OE downward pressure. Woot!!!
this one goes much higher
fun day
Market Cap is within spitting distance of HP.
Well, that softens the blow of my Google shares going down.
where’s the Laura Goldman MDN take?
I think a lot of people jumped from GOOG to AAPL. Once financial numbers are released, things are going to get very interesting.
Apple the behemoth from Apple the beleaguered.
This doesn’t make any sense. We’re talking about Apple here.
Your potential. Our passion.™
Well, now APPL is only $2,784,597.06 away from overtaking HPQ!
MW: very as in “very soon”

AAPL north to 200+ weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
Shares at $150 should pass HP in market cap, can we start a pool? my $1 is on 1:30pm Wednesday July 18, 2007…
Takers?
Closing Wednesday will tell the story…I’m excited, but won’t forget the Google drama today…let’s hope the analysts get their butt kicked on Wed.
Any Gnu’s today?
foppin’
Shorted another 10K here. Y’all can kiss my hairy arse.
You know, at this rate, Apple could take a nasty drop like Google did today, either by percentage (5.2%) or a $28/share drop… and they’d still be sitting pretty.
When is it gonna split????
Assuming HP stays at the same share price, Apple would need to hit $146.97 to pass them.
It ain’t splittin’. There is no reason or purpose. What could possibly be the benefit of splitting? So that those who hold, say 1000 shares (bought at average $110) would then have 2000 shares at bought at $55 (split-adjusted)? What difference would that make? They’d still have the same dollar value.
The only reason for a stock split would be to enable poor investors to buy shares. Is there anyone who is seriously investing (or trading) who cannot afford $145?
Jobs’s approach seems to be taking advice from Warren Buffet. Berkshire-Hathaway shares are now at $110,000. How many here can buy even one single share? Obviously, only serious folks are trading BRK.A, which explains why its gyrations are moderate at best and mainly reflect the true fundamentals and market conditions, rather than emotional involvement of small-time investors and traders.
I’m guessing, next Wednesday, we’ll surpass HP.
I agree, no split. There are enough outstanding shares. AAPL will become a premium stock, just as it sells premium products.
I read a post on MDN not long ago saying SJ would not split the stock?
Seems like just yesterday we were passing Dell’s market cap. Now we are just about to hit the double-Dell mark!
@All posters who say AAPL should not split.
I totally disagree with you, volatility will not disappear even @ 200-250 take a look at RIMM, and comparing a stock trading at $110,000 + to a stock trading at $143 or even $500 is ludicrous at best. AAPL needs to split, in order to bring in fresh blood, as well as the entire 18-30 demographic that so vehemently supports it and most importantly buys its products. Let’s suppose for a second that AAPL was trading @ 110K, yes fundamental analysis would prevail over technical analysis, but then only the rich would get richer of off it. And no don’t bring up fractional shares, because you shouldn’t be trading a stock if you can not afford 1 miserly share of it, how is that for fundamental analysis.
@ Marrakech
“how is that for fundamental analysis.”
Badly uninformed.
