Apple Stock Closed at $80.86 ! (i.e, 8086 cpu)

[dberg]

I dont know what the odds are, but apple's stock closed at 8086. 8086 being the original ( i think) architecture of the Intel Pentium CPU. Seriously this is one of the wierdest things i have ever seen.

[Phat_Pat]

if that is true that is just weird as hell

The stars are trying to reveal something to us. :eek: :p

[Mitthrawnuruodo]

Now there's an omen for you... As I said in other threads: GET READY FOR WORLD DOMINATION! <muuaahahahaha>

Seriously, if this is true, it's one of the cooler coinsidents, ever... :)

It might be a first for an event that the stock goes up afterwards.

As for the number - after market trading at 7:59 PM according to yahoo puts Apple at 81.89 - another $1.03

Nice way to go Apple! :D

D

[miloblithe]

It did indeed close at 80.86 (not counting after hours trading that took it to 81.89).

Hi-larious.

[mac-er]

According to the Dashboard ticker, it closed at 80.85

Who bought shares back at WWDC in June when it was around $38? Not me. Oh, not me. :(

8086 was the pentium's ancestor. then the 80186, 80286 (286) 80386 (386), 486, then pentium (586)
thats pretty cool--how far up is it?

Can you say:

Apple = Volatile :eek:

Apple stock is just too big of a risk. :o

[Cinematographer]

AAPL already reached 81.89 during trading hours, fell to 79 and closed at 80.86

But does this mean, the day Apple switches back, the stock price will reach $601?

There was no 80186. It went:

8088
8086
80286
80386
80486
Pentium (80586)
Pentium Pro (80686)

See here (http://www.intel.com/museum/online/hist_micro/hof/)

I think the architecture has been of the 686 caliber for some time now.

Wise guy.. ;) It was hard enough finding the hall of fame. After looking at the specs for the 186, it says it was mostly used in controller applications. Now I understand why I never saw it in a desktop.

Maybe $60.1 :eek:

Try $6.01
