Apple is just about $11/share away from reaching $500B.
Climbing 522, 528. So, 1000 mark any year now.
This is fun!
As a 12 year AAPL investor, I always love that headline. It never gets old.
Thx MDN!
Shares were up six bucks till 3:15 or so. I’ve asked before but here goes again. Why the pop on no news? Is it really just options trading?
not sure, but this seems to happen a lot. i choose to look at this as a good thing – it means that tomorrow there is a built-in view that apple has, just the day before or so, been higher than this, rather than running into a ceiling that can’t be breached.
Day traders taking some money home.
impending iPad 3 launch
No news??
Probaby the opposite. It just happens that we mere mortals haven’t learned about them yet.
Almost twice the size of Microsoft now…
bigger than MS, Intel, AMD, HP and Dell
Bigger than XOM + DIS.
Next stop: Bigger than XOM + AMZN!
Apple could buy controlling interest in Google and put Android in the trash can.
Unfortunately, theDOJ wouldn’t allow it. And Google would certainly never allow Apple to grab controlling interest.
It’s already discouraging that Apple doesn’t have that large a market share of anything and it’s still being called a monopoly and being scrutinized by everyone.
Actually, I’ve always thought of that relative market share as Apples’ greatest strength. Worldwide, Apple is at approximately 5 percent. Think of it as growth opportunity.
Don’t even want to touch Google with a barge pole. Google is a virus that would affect Apple culture of focus and hard work. Google is all fun and easy plagiarism. It’s not even a virgin anymore. Its quick taste of success has rendered its “do no evil” into an April fools’ joke. Google is a sugar daddy or a junkie pervert trying its best to put on a charm offensive.
Please do not include us on this list since we are no longer a PC company – Sincerely, Michael Dell
AAPL is only $84 and change behind GOOG share price. Go AAPL!
Share price is irrelevant.

Just shy of Microsoft + IBM. Wow…
$1,000/share hinges on many factors beyond Apple’s influence. For example, financial health of the Euro-zone, and China’s ability to expand its economy are important considerations when determining Apple’s ability to continue on this steep upward growth cycle.
