Shares of Apple (AAPL) on Friday rose $2.81 (+1.48%) to hit $192.40, putting the world’s most valuable company’s market value above $3 trillion for the first time since the company first achieved the feat during trading on January 3, 2022.
Apple went public on December 12, 1980 at $22.00 per share. The stock has split five times since the IPO, so on a split-adjusted basis the IPO share price was $.10.
Apple’s first march from $2 trillion to $3 trillion in market value took about 16 months as its stock roared higher, leading a group of megacap technology companies that benefited as people relied heavily on tech during the often irrational and prolonged overreactions in many countries to COVID-19.
MacDailyNews Take: Apple market value currently stands at $3.026 trillion.

Finally $3 trillion again (it should be at least $4 trillion by now, but China/WHO/CDC/Fauci, etc).
MDN was right, as usual, on the overreactions to COVID. (Many of which were unconstitutional in the U.S., no less.)
By the way:
The decision NOT to use IVM/HCQ treatment protocols from May 2020 onwards cost around 6 million lives, globally.
Death by healer – iatrogenic death – from Remdesivir/Midazolam+morphine, ventilators, psychological and physical torture of the elderly and infirm in medical settings, failure to treat existing and emerging health conditions (non-C19), failure to prescribe anti-biotics (WHO advice) and so on are included in C19 deaths, rather than as murders.
Then there is the fact that the clinical trials and the roll-out of injections forced the emergence of variants – clinical trials started in 31 July 2020 and were slated to run to 31 January 2021.These variants killed all those people from August/September 2020 onwards as the original viral strain disappeared to be dominated by other deadly variants.
A note on Ivermectin (IVM) IVM costs 200 bucks a kilo. A kilo is enough for 50,000 doses for an average weight per person of 100 kg. Five doses is more than sufficient to treat and prevent C19. For the 8 billion people on the planet = 800,000 kilos for everyone to get 5 doses each of IVM at 200 bucks per kilo.
That works out at 160 million bucks. Keep that 160 million cost to prevent and cure C19 at the forefront of your mind.
Much more here: Post-mortem on the C19 pandemic – 6 million avoidable C19 deaths plus 36 million vaxx deaths (mostly in India from Oxford/AstraZeneca shots) = plus the odd 1.8 trillion bucks for useless masks, tests
Yes, MacDailyNews, was very clear from the very beginning and throughout the COVID-19 debacle and is proven to be more and more correct with each passing day.
Thanks, MDN!

There are any number of countries where, prior to this ongoing COVID-19 collective behavior experiment, we could have imagined a compliant population capitulating to the random, illogical, and ever-changing whims of so-called “experts” and ignoramus politicians – actually allowing themselves to be quarantined, locked-down, restricted, put out of business, deprived of family and friends, tagged and tracked, digitally and otherwise, but not America. Obviously, we were wrong.
“The land of the free and the home of the brave?” Pfft. Seemingly just empty words today.
Yes, COVID-19 is real. Yes, COVID-19 is a contagious disease. Yes, COVID-19 can kill, especially those with underlying conditions who should be protected as best as possible. However, the reaction to COVID-19 has clearly been blown out of all proportion and the ramifications of such overreaction will be long-lasting and difficult, if not impossible, to overcome.
Those who have lived through this period (in other words, the vast majority of people) and who are still capable of rational thought, will understand implicitly how easily fear and bad data, especially as amplified, massaged, and repeated ad nauseam via mass and social media, can be used to control even so-called “free” people who, it seems, will cede their freedoms en masse with nary a bleat. – MacDailyNews, December 28, 2020
The COVID-19 data is clear: Stop the panic and end the total isolation… A severe economic disruption will very likely provoke the immeasurable costs of widespread unemployment, social isolation, and increased mental health issues, suicide rates, bankruptcies, civil unrest, crime, and war. – MacDailyNews, April 23, 2020
COVID-19 is here to stay. It will very likely become endemic, yet pose less danger over time. People will acquire immunity via vaccines (effectiveness TDB) and naturally as they contract and recover from variants like omicron since the partially-effective vaccines permit not only transmissibility, but also breakthrough infections. Influenza and the four human coronaviruses that cause common colds (OC43, 229E, NL63 and HKU1) are, of course, also endemic, but a combination of annual flu vaccines and acquired immunity means that sane societies tolerate the unavoidable seasonal deaths and illnesses they bring without requiring lockdowns, masks, social distancing, indefinite return-to-work delays, etc.
At which point, if ever, will some people decide that wasting away their short lives in abject fear of a bad flu, very likely engineered by China and partially funded by the U.S. National Institutes of Health, is a hysterical self-defeating overreaction? – MacDailyNews, December 16, 2021
The fallout from the idiocy of the various and sundry COVID responses, most of them ludicrously overblown and hysterical, will continue to reverberate for years. – MacDailyNews, May 30, 2023
not sure what crazy MAGA anti-science bullshit about covid has to do with apple hitting $3t except in America a company can achieve great things, and poorly educated idiots conned by a narcissistic sociopath have the same right to free speech as anyone else.
“Apple’s first march from $2 trillion to $3 trillion in market value took about 16 months as its stock roared higher, leading a group of megacap technology companies that benefited as people relied heavily on tech during the often irrational and prolonged overreactions in many countries to COVID-19.”
Apple second march to $3 trillion has to do with most of the world finally realizing that they’d been conned by Big Pharma, waking up, opening up, and getting on with life as normal using their built-in, God-given immune systems as they should have done all along.
Only idiots like Dondy panicked, wore futile masks, rebreathing carbon dioxide, depriving their already-subpar brains of obviously very necessary oxygen, and following a never-ending string of illogical and illegal dictates abject morons like Cuomo, Fauci, Newsom, Pelosi, etc.
Poor stupid, subservient, MSNBC/CNN-watching, endlessly malleable Dondy still can’t figure out that he/she (there are only two genders; XY or XX chromosomes) has been had.
Dondy,
Which part of the following don’t you understand (I’m betting all of it, even though it’s exceedingly simple):
As many as 85% of all deaths globally from COVID-19 were preventable from May 2020 onwards
“anti-science.” heh.
My split adjusted price (cost basis) is .97 cents.
I’m going to get killed on taxes someday. haha
The more taxes you’ve paid, the more money you’ve made.
Correct. And let me go on record, I don’t mind paying the tax on what I’m required to pay. But, I’m surely not going to pay extra. 👍
You should mind, it’s legalized theft. The founding generation rebelled over chicken sh#t in comparison.
Nick is right, and the glory days of the USA began a slow but accelerated decline ever since 1913 when a fake quorum of congress offshore voted to create the JD Rockefeller paid-for IRS and Federal Reserve “Bank.”
Why do you think the super rich have fake foundations and trusts to preserve their wealth and dodge normal taxations?
