Apple's stock opened at a new all-time high of $138.05 today, eclipsing the company's previous opening record of $137.59 set on September 2, 2020. However, the share price has since trended downwards slightly in intraday trading.

Apple has seen its stock price rise nearly 150% since opening at a 2020 low of $57.02 in late March, a few weeks after COVID-19 was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization. The company has thrived during the pandemic, seeing strong demand for devices like Macs and iPads as many people work, learn, and socialize from home.

Apple set a September quarter record with $64.7 billion revenue, and its December quarter could be even more impressive, as the entire iPhone 12 lineup launched within the quarter due to pandemic-related delays. In fact, the oft-lucrative holiday quarter could see Apple report all-time high quarterly revenue above $100 billion for the first time ever, according to 27 analyst estimates averaged by Yahoo Finance.

It's worth noting that Apple announced a four-for-one stock split in August, and split-adjusted trading began at the end of that month.

Easy monetary policy + near-zero returns on anything not in equities = really high equity prices.

Put another way, if there is only one place to get a return on money, all the money is going to that one place.

Equities are great and so is real estate. Bidding wars for bigger homes since so many now live AND work there. Homes in my neighborhood are being sold off-market and you have to know someone to get in on one.

What on Earth are you babbling on about. There are 1000s of other companies or assets that people can invest in. It’s not just the stock market.

No. Making quality products that people love to use will do that for you.

I figured someone would take the bait. You don't need to defend Apple. I've been an investor since 1997 and I purchased quite literally everything they've ever made since then including their socks, XServe and even the iPod Hi-Fi and eMac.

They maintain incredibly high profit margins on everything they sell which is my point. I only use their cases but if you can't be real and admit their iPhone cases are grossly overpriced, then we really can't have a discussion.

Real estate can be great, but has many costs equities don’t. Real estate can be illiquid, expensive to own, taxed to hell, riddled with fees and expenses, and can get you into big trouble because of the leverage. People also leave out many costs when calculating the return on real estate.

A cash account in the stock market buying high quality stocks/ETFs consistently over time is likely a better bet for most people.

Cases and bands are definitely overpriced, but they group accessories with Home and Wearables (Apple Watch, AirPods). I doubt much of their revenue growth is from cases.

My friend I am more than happy to cease this discussion with you ha ha ha. Or should I say ho ho ho. But for the record Apple charge a premium on their products because of the quality, craftsmanship and r n d. They don’t magic these products into existence.
