Where’s Laura Goldman when you need her?
@ Mac n Cheese
LOL, never gets old does it?
“Where’s Laura Goldman when you need her?”
Isn’t she in JAIL? I know she was headed there when extradited from Israel.
I think the only time one would ‘need’ Laura Goldman would be if they were really drunk and horny.
so now apple is worth 7 times as much as Dell…….. almost there to beat walmart!! Notice Microsoft slowly dropping too!!
Apple will tie or be bigger than Microsoft within a year I think.. though it would mean shares probably reaching in the 300s unless M$ starts losing more market cap
Today Apple is only about $106B from overtaking Exxon Mobil!
Go Apple (AAPL)!
According to a NYTs article today, Apple is #8 in the world in market cap size. Now, that’s impressive. PetroChem China is #1 at $328B, Exxon is #2 at $315B, Microsoft is #3 at $260B.
Time to stock up.
Where’s our Michael Dell quote? It’s been awhile…
still wonder why MDN says each time average volume instead of trading volume; it’s not an average, it’s the actual today’s volume; the (10day) average is 17.04M shares
I can already see Jobs in a year or so saying that AAPL is now bigger than MSFT. He can then finally retire of his job…
