AAPL quote via NASDAQ here.
Does Superman fly?
Yesssss!!!!
On November 8 M$ closed at $229.37B. Not to positive for the Ballmer kids.
Exxon is in our sights…Sometime in 2012 Apple will pass them…
Hey Monkey Boy Hear Dat, (Up up and Awayyyyyyyyyyy) !!!!
firing on all cylinders
something like $7 more to hit the next milestone . . . right?
And today, AAPL went against the rest of the markets, which closed down. NASDAQ barely made it in the black, most likely thanks to AAPL pulling up the rest of the tech sector.
Where’s the best story of all?
Apple now worth ELEVEN times that of dell.
AAPL would have to reach $392/share for it to match Exxon, assuming Exxon doesn’t move. Likely in 2011, for sure in 2012.
@MDN,
Thanks for the newsflash:
Apple now worth eleven times Dell’s market value – September 23, 2010
Hey Ballmy, How’s that “Wow” workin’ out?
Don’t get too excited. AAPL is about at the same place it was one month ago, when the previous high was set. It just went down to around $300 and back up in between.
The short-term driver for AAPL has nothing to do with Apple. If a “tax deal” goes through (instead of falls through) before the new year, and the existing “Bush tax breaks” are extended (or made permanent), that would be a positive for the overall stock market. Tax rate on capital gains is also affected; if the tax on capital gains increases after 2010, it may motivate investors to sell stocks like AAPL, where they may have significant unrealized gains, BEFORE the end of the year. (If you owned MSFT, that would NOT even be an issue. ” width=”19″ height=”19″ alt=”smile” style=”border:0;” /> )
After that, Apple should report outstanding results for the holiday quarter, so I think AAPL will be fine after the general uncertainty this month about what the outgoing (“lame duck”) Congress will (or will not) do.
Why is RealNetworks even in the list?
Wow, that Apple (AAPL) death march sure is scary!

I swear: The reason gas prices are going up is because Exxon Mobil are trying to keep their market value ahead of Apple’s.
