Almost as much as IBM and Intel combined…truly amazing if you were part of the Apple scene only 10 to 15 years ago.

SIDAGTMBTTS. Dell should use their remaining cash reserves to finance a moon-based Hollywood style monument with this famous symbol of modern industrial wisdom and foresight. It needs to be immortalised for the good of mankind.
Truly amazing to one who bought 125 shares 10 years ago. Everybody warned me not to put all my eggs in one basket. I said “they’re not eggs. They’re apples.”

That’s about a $36000 profit, of course it’s only a profit if you sell it. Tell you what, I’ll double your money if you sell it to me for $50 a share-I’ll pay cash!
From 6 to 600 in less than 20 years?
So, my post, the first one, corrects MDN, and they edit their story, don’t give me credit, and remove my post? What’s up with that?
A lot of todays Apple’s gains were due to the fact the Fed announced they were going to buy $600 billion of US Treasury bonds in a quantitative easing (printing money) move.
So naturally if your deflating the currency by printing more than the society can use, prices of products and those items like commodities used to make them will go up. Prices go up, so does the stock value.
If it wasn’t for the socialist morons we had controlling Congress the taxpayers wouldn’t be left holding the bag when all these millions of defaulting sub-prime mortgages given to anyone with a green card went belly up.
Good thing a lot of them have been booted this last election, but then they wanted to be booted so they can retire and spend their ill gotten gains from Freddie and Fannie.
I can’t wait for the investigations and the arrests to begin. ” width=”19″ height=”19″ alt=”smile” style=”border:0;” />
