  1. Um, to the ‘Infinity and beyond’ I believe is now the standard hail. Meanwhile, can we not add Facebook on that mix, or is that not traded yet? I was under the impression it has some sort of market cap gauged by some metric.

  3. Facebook is not yet a publically traded company. However, they have received cash-for-ownership to certain entities that in effect creates a value for it. Until an IPO, it won’t be included on the list.

    and btw, 5 comes after 4, not 4.

  7. @MDN: It is a good thing to see these articles from MDN, every time AAPL scores new gains. Most of these articles use the same format for the market caps summary.

    To even provide more insight, I would suggest to add the following curve: recent evolution of the ratio AAPL ÷ NASDAQ.
    (or better, one might even add the recent evolution of a number of similar relevant stocks ÷ NASDAQ).

    Dividing by the NASDAQ index would drastically smooth out the curves and eliminate most of the irrelevant fluctuations coming from unrelated sectors in the industry.

    Now one has to jointly show curves (e.g., on Google Finance) from AAPL, NASDAQ (, and others), then make conclusions on the basis of eyeballing the curves in relation to each other.

  9. When murmurs of “passing 300!” started, I was doubtful.
    “Not for at least 5 years”, I thought.
    But just like everything that seems impossible, Apple just goes ahead and does it.
    Wow.

    Even more amazing; Apple has the potential for a fantastic amount of growth.
    If the pundits are correct, and Apple only has 5 – 10 percent of the market share, and even less in enterprise, then Apple should be able to grow to fill the remaining 95% of the consumer vessel.
    Plus, that vessel keeps getting larger, and I’m really only looking at North America right now.
    If you bought Apple a few years ago, Apple is paying for your kids’ educations, and buying you houses.
    But even if you buy today, or even in a year from now, you’re still likely going to make a huge profit.

    Apple: Truth is stranger than fiction.
