Apple shares hit new all-time intraday and closing highs – September 19, 2012
It’s still undervalued in my opinion.
Also, I really miss seeing Dell among the other market caps listed.
But it is now “valued” at an astonishing (over) $600 BILLION.
To put $600,000,000,000 into perspective, the TOTAL market value of ALL companies (about 2600) traded on the NASDAQ exchange (along with Apple) is about $6 trillion. Apple BY ITSELF is now worth 10% of the total NASDAQ market.
To use another (less fortunate) comparison, it would take 30 “Apples” to pay off the current U.S. national debt.
Dell isn’t worth anything anymore.
Anymore?! Haha!
We’ve waited a couple of years to see that headline again.
This is fun!
As i watched shares trade today and Apple went from it’s highest point to closing price I think I lost 10 billion in value! That’s a round number! I’ll check!
We waited a long eff-ing time for that headline to return to MDN.
Now if only Microsoft joined Dell.
Patience Grasshopper.
I would have expected a lot of automatic sell-off at $100. Tomorrow will be interesting…
@peterblood71: You read my mind. Enough said.
I watched AAPL on google today when it reached 100.00 exactly for the first time then fell back a bit, then did that over and over a few times before rising above 100.00. Looked like that auto-trade thing to me, but who knows?
Where’s that troll that kept posting, “Apple is a nice $400 ($57) stock when we were all feeling so much pain?”
Out celebrating Balmer’s Clippers takeover with the BIG man himself.
I believe his name was GM, and he’s nowhere to be found lately. His sneering at “buy and hold” investors doesn’t play well since April.
He can’t short or benefit anymore as a result of his FUD, so he has no interest in shitting here.
And then there was that iMaki guy who sold out at the slump having bought at the peak. He used to come here a lot to cry
GM you suck!!! LoL too embarrassed to show up here anymore! Hope you shorted AAPL six months ago
Nice to see all that quantitative easing by the Federal Reserve OMC supporting an asset that is actually worth something.
According to forbes, this is still around 9% lower in terms of market cap due to the (split adjusted) lower number of outstanding shares. More good news for the Apple bulls!
I need $9.87 share price and I will have quadrupled my money. Let’s be diversified out there.
Diversification is for the timid. Never bet against yourself.
I’m retired and happily diversified. Look what happened at BB.
As (I think) Warren Buffet said: “If you are worried about diversification …you own the wrong stock”.
I’m watching a similar equation. Bought my first 300 shares at $76 ( pre-split). I still own ’em.
Back in ’98, I had to tell my then broker to buy AAPL or I’d switch to another firm to get him to place the order. Three splits later that lot is now 28 shares for each one I bought. I smile a lot these days…
It was (and is) only a matter of time…AAPL has a lot of catching up to do after two years of a smear campaign and a fall from well deserved grace.
It’s obvious now that there’s no one else capable of leading and innovating worth a dime. apple’s heading to the moon and the believers will live their retirements in style.
Wow! Like you said… Finally!
We have been waiting a while for that headline to pop back up. Me think’est we will see it a few more times in the very near future.
Retirement in Hawaii is imminent. At $120 I’m hang’n ten in paradise.
Good for you. Retirement is great, especially if you can stay healthy.
I agree. Apple is financing a great retirement for me.
And all those who cheered when it dropped below $400 have gone silent.
Ah yes as to be expected. Well done Apple.
