To the Moon!!!
But not GOOG. LOL! Down 3% in AH
Does anybody understand why MDN includes RealNetworks in that list? They were big news 10 years ago, but seriously, are they doing anything today? On the other hand, Oracle is missing, why?
Overtaking MS would be great.
Another solid gain for AAPL. And today, MSFT was basically flat.
I never tire of this.
Wow! The stock price is practically $249. It’s just a hiccup away from $250. Wow! I did not expect it to hit $250 until mid summer.
Boy was I wrong.
Me thinks Adobe might have taken a mega hit recently, I thought I saw it over $25B just a few days ago.
“Boy was I wrong.”
So wasn’t Michael Dell.

So, I checked, and ADBE was down by more than 1% today, but it was not a mega hit. It’d appear that I was wrong about $25B market cap.
Ok, no, I spoke too soon. I was not dreaming, according to MDN’s last report on the record, Adobe was about $24B+.

Something may not be right about these numbers, maybe. Yahoo!?
@ SamLowry: Putting RealNetworks on the list makes sense on a couple levels. One is that RealNetworks’ Rhapsody competes with iTunes. The other is that ever since Rhapsody was introduced (along with the “iPod killers” that supported it) MDN has had a hard-on for Real’s “doughnut eating” chairman, Rob Glaser.
GE has had a nice run lately. Their market cap now stands at 208B. That would put them at #4 on the list.
Buy AAPL people … Make $$$$
$300 this year!!!
$400 end of 2011
April 20, 2010 will be another Record Profit Quarter like the last two years!!!
There was only a major Recession:-))
Go Apple Inc.
Yeah, Glaser said some stupid stuff that was iCal’ed.
Yeah, but Dell sells more than apple ..
(sarcasm)
Apple, buy a big assed billboard outside of Dell’s HQ and put a huge stock ticker on it

Don’t mean to be negative but be cautious during earnings season.
Look at GOOG price after hours…. and the of course at the “reasons” mentioned.
It’s still not going to be easy to catch up to Microsoft’s market cap this year. $300 Apple share price is barely enough to squeak past Microsoft’s current market cap. Even looking at a $260 Apple share price by mid-year still leaves a long, hard climb. If Microsoft can only stagger and fall back to about the $28 share price range, they’ll be easy pickings. I can barely wait to see the day that Apple passes Microsoft in market cap. The media will have a field day and the Windows fanboys will be weeping because the Toy Company blew past the Corporate Desktop Powerhouse. Woohoo!
Oh, PlayNice . . . PlayNice . . . calling “PlayNIce”! Where ARE you, PlayNice? Counting your pennies? Trying to find a reason to live?
What a maroon. (Again, and for PlayNice’s benefit: That’s a quote from the honorable Bugs Bunny.)
If they did a 4 to 1 stock split, they would blow past MSFT by months end!
@ Artist
Not really. It will take another $45 billion being put into Apple either way, no matter what the share price is.
@ chryssi
Alot of people i know dont buy aapl because it looks expensive. Im 100% sure they would if priced lower.. Psycology is a big issue in trading. I agree we could top msft faster with a split.
No point in splitting, let it run.
My 100 shares purchased at about $10 back when (split 2-1 @90) are now worth almost $50k now. Only wish I had bought more.
