  1. iPads on Verizon and iPads being sold in Wal Mart, Target and Verizon stores. Pretty amazing.

    Next year: iPad 2, iPhone 5, iPhone unlocked to multiple US carriers, maybe 10.7 released, and you know Steve has some more tricks up his sleeves.

    $500 or bust. Soon we’ll be counting the days when AAPL beats GOOG share prices.

    Shareholders rejoice!

  3. Wow. I think it would be interesting to start listing CBS and Comcast in the Market Cap list. Currently at 12B and 53B respectively. If they don’t want to play ball Apple could just buy them up with their spare change. That would ensure an aTV smash hit.

  5. The difference between AAPL and the NO. 3 MSFT market cap is a staggering $66B (!!!). Meanwhile, the difference between AAPL and the largest company in the world: $45B.

    Is it really possible that the once beleaguered and written-off Apple will end up being the most valuable company in the world in a matter of few months???

    Five months ago, when AAPL surpassed MSFT, Jobs said “Surreal”. I’m not an English native speaker, so I’m struggling to find adequate a word for the moment when Apple surpasses XOM. Any help out there?

  7. hmm. what would have happened if I spent 40000U$ on Apple stock in year 2001 instead of some other deal that screwed me up. I would not be sitting here wondering where to get my next meal. But I’m kind of happy that those guys are dead, confirmed by Hong Kong police.

  9. We may have a few more days of this since earnings report won’t be till Weds. With Google up on positive news it looks like the market is in a good mood for once.

    Apple may climb up to $350 soon if the hype is on a high.
