MacDailyNews Take: Finally, Apple is back where they belong, atop the world’s most valuable companies list!
Nice to see this headline again. Go AAPL!
And another all-time closing high Friday, October 18, 2019, one week later. Oops! MacDailyNews missed that headline. That’s two all-time closing highs in 2019 so far.
All-time closing high October 18, 2019 = $236.41
Always my favorite headline.
Boom! Congrats to all the shareholders! The last 12 months have been quite the ride.
Nice to see Dell listed again . . . as Apple’s spare change.
Surprised Nokia is that high tbh. What is now essentually an infrastructure company+ Is actually higher than HP worlds second biggest PC business+. Just seems odd.
“I want to take you higher…” Sly and the Family Stone
Apple’s current share price sort of makes those analysts who have price targets of $160 and $165 look rather stupid. Maybe I should just consider them typical Wall Street crooks and charlatans and leave it at that. I really wouldn’t think they would be that stupid to honestly give Apple such a low price target. Any normal employee would be fired for giving clients such poor investment advice but some of these analysts simply get free passes over and over by their firms. Something is very wrong with that.
So, the the market day ended with Microsoft at $1.074T vs Apple at $1.071T. Apple is definitely drawing closer but I honestly doubt Apple can hold its value while Microsoft shouldn’t have any problem at all with so many institutional investors backing the stock. They’re likely not as cowardly as some of Apple’s investors who pee their pants over any negative or unsubstantiated Apple rumor.
Also, Microsoft has been blessed with a P/E of 27 compared to Apple’s paltry P/E of 20 which seems to be rather unfair if it indicates Microsoft is actually worth more than Apple by such a fairly large amount. Big investors are happy to pay more for Microsoft stock than they would pay for Apple stock. Apple simply isn’t able to convince Wall Street of its worth. It’s always Apple is doomed, but Microsoft is invincible.
My mistake with the market cap numbers. Your numbers are correct. They did finish in a dead heat. I used Yahoo’s posted numbers but they changed at some point after the market closed. Not that this really matters because it’s just one day and anything can happen tomorrow.
The most remarkable thing here is that, at some point in the last year, AAPL was $142 😳🎢
I remember well as I more than tripled my AAPL position back then. Thank you so much whoever it was who sold them to me. I even remember some fools here complaining about that price here. It was laughable then and is even more now 😀
Watch much of it vanish on Monday in today’s market style. Here today, gone tomorrow. Ecstatic hopes, crushed disappointment.
Apple came back after a year of being “sick” and said to Microsoft “Knock knock, remember me?”
