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.
 
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

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?
 
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

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.
