And on the same day, MSFT took a significant hit. It may be because Microsoft announced plans to sell $4.75 billion in debt, “to pay for dividend and change its capital structure.”

Apple is $50B ahead of Microsoft and $98B ahead of Google. It was only back in February or so when Apple went ahead of Google. Shocking how quickly Apple has continued its march upward.

What a great idea to buy not only tons of ipads for my company and making my staff happy but also tons of their shares for me personally. Maybe the shares went up so much because I bought all those ipads?
Whatever, Steve, please never pay dividend! This is what I ask from you as your shareholder from Germany. Keep that money for something really great, whatever and whenever it makes sense. No dividend, never! Keep the company strong and ahead of everybody else. And make it happen that we can get the iPhone in Germany not only from Tmobile but from all four big carriers.

So, how did Adobe do? Sorry, -19.03% today.
How about Microsoft Corporation? Sorry, -2.15% even after upping the dividends.
What about Dell Inc and their new tablet? Sorry, -1.75%.
Well I hope the grass is greener for you all on the road less traveled. That could happen with fewer people stepping on the grass along that road. Look, if you all dump those long term dead ends, you could pick up some Apple and enjoy the ride along this road with all the people that now love their Apple and it’s stock.

loopy_nj, $300 is only 4 1/4% higher. AAPL will be passing $350 and $400 soon. $400 is only 39% higher and Apple does that in a less than a quarter.

Man, don’t I feel like an idiot now. Only a few weeks ago I was mulling buying a few more shares. Never got around to it. Oh, well. Guess I should be thankful for the shares I do have.
