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.

Only a couple billion more and Apple will be 11x bigger than Dell. Tomorrow should do the trick.

The multiple as of today’s closing is 10.917, AAPL/DELL.
Close enough to 11 for my money!

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.

You all see that Exxon Mobil’s $312.89B is only 19% higher than Apple is now. Apple will be on top soon. Very soon!

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.

It’s pretty amazing that Apple is that far ahead of tech giants like IBM, Google, HP, Intel, Cisco, Amazon, etc. Sony, Dell, and Yahoo! seem almost worthless in comparison. No wonder they all hate Apple. LOL

And to think, Apple is really a startup company because of the iPad. This is a brand new beginning to a brand new market that Apple invented. Amazing.

Finally the price of Apple stock is going into realistic range, like a tightly wound spring finally freed. Here we had Apple THRIVING amidst the ongoing Bush Depression and dumbasses were keeping the price suppressed anyway. About bloody time for a wopping BOING!

@Shareholder
You advocate that Apple should sell its iPhone through all 4 German carriers, instead of just through T-Mobile.
That would be an improvement.
But it is beyond me why phones should be sold through any carrier at all.
Wouldn’t the market benefit if there were just phone shops, offering data/voice plans on a competitive basis?
I live in Belgium, which has 3 major mobile operators: Proximus, Mobistar (currently sells iPhones, all unlocked: subscription is optional), and Base (the smallest operator, 3G only in major cities, but upgrading quickly).
But I am digressing…
Another development which quenches competition is that many shops are at the same time “Proximus”, “Mobistar” and “Base” shops, so it is unclear who they really are promoting.
My points: the mechanisms behind it all that subsidises the phone shops sucks.
