AAPL quote via NASDAQ here.
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.
