Are they convinced of Tim Cook now
Shhh I know someone who will never be convinced, though only because he doesn’t like his sexual orientation apparently.
DaH, I am convinced with AAPL as one well run Big
organization that is focused 🙂
Yes $705+ is really possible before 2014 ends!
The 7 for 1 split will make a big difference the previous owners.
Next week the lower AAPL price will surely creep upwards!!!!!
Go Apple!! Go Developers go 🙂 in Style”
In the second-straight day of heavily bullish options buying in Apple, one major investor appears to be betting nearly $60 million that Apple shares will rise above $700 by October.
This is for anyone who understands option trading which I have no clues.
Yes, that’s at least part of what drove today’s rise. When the options were bought, the seller of the option often protects himself by buying the underlying stock. With that large of an options buy the stock price will always be affected that day.
Hey tennis, haven’t heard from you since September 2012. Glad the market allowed you to return.
$700 possible next week!
More like $100, if it’s “next” week. 😉
Probable
Yay its starting again just like the good old days (over 52 weeks ago)
Odd isn’t it? We haven’t seen the list for a year and a half. Now MDN suddenly starts running it again. Run it all the time or don’t run it at all.
Even more interesting….Dell is no longer on the list. My how times have changed.
Yes, Mickey-D gave the money back to the share holders.
He still needs to do the “shut it down” part. 😉
That’ll take care of itself when it becomes clear to IT that buying a second-rate OS makes no sense when there’s a free first-rate OS.
Well, it didn’t make the list because it’s not a publicly traded company. It would look even worse if it still was. Haha, go Mikey!!!
OK MDN, it’s time to drop Real Networks off the list. That’s pretty ridiculous to keep that on there. I can think of many tech companies that would be a better use of text on a page. I’m actually not sure they still occupy their building in Seattle. The last Mariners game I was at they were renting out parking spaces for $10 buck. Hell, it cost that much about a mile down the road in a dirt field. haha
For those of us who were around for Real Networks’ bluster, it’s important.
As the expression goes, “Those that the Gods would destroy, first they make proud.”
second that! i mentioned a week or so ago how nice it was to still see real networks on the list.
We’ll take RNWK off the list when it’s defunct or when Rob Glaser gives up doughnuts, whichever comes first.
The donut king!
Yes, I remember these repeating stories.
And no, it NEVER gets old.
BOOM !
Is it “the world’s most valuable company”? Or it is “the world’s most valuable publicly traded company”? I was thinking there was some privately held companies that exceeded the value. If I’m wrong, it wouldn’t be the first time….
Neither.
Its the US/american most valuable publicly traded company. Not world’s.
Don’t know now but Apple was the worlds largest publicly traded company at end of 2012.
Which company is more valuable?
I’m uncomfortable with this stock watch stuff.
AAPL is perhaps the world’s most valuable company but they are no longer battling Microsoft, Google, Dell, Adobe, others. Those battles are history.
Apple continues to skate where the puck will be.
AAPL shares have not been in this range since closing on October 17, 2012 at $644.6136. Keep her going up so I can retire again.
