There are four companies in the trillion dollar market capitalization club: Saudi Aramco, Apple, Microsoft and Alphabet. Here's hoping others join the club.Sounds healthy having one company of this much value - oh wait.

Because a 3% bump in aapl is almost $50B in value or 1/3 of all of NFLX. Apple was also up the day before, so it's like 6% in 2 days, or almost $100B. Apple has been surging because it's basically up every day.How is it that when Apple moves a couple of per cent the media call it a jump or a surge. It’s barely anything. When a stock like Netflix on occasion jumps 10 per cent, now that’s a surge.
Or you're just wrong.Apples lowest quality, most uninspired products up to date, yet their highest financial performance. To me that's the perfect proof of how ****ed up todays economy is...
Icahn sold his shares several years ago at $90 and I laughed at him then. He's just trying to sound smart now but he was dead wrong on AAPL.Carl Icahn probably still says Apple's undervalued.
Just thinking, if aapl managed to reach brk-a price (339,260 at the time that I'm writing this), Apple would have a market cap of ~1487.28 trillion. I doubt that'll happen in my lifetime, though.
In the meantime, Tim, if you're reading this, I could take a few of this billions of dollars off your hands.![]()
wasn't Apple worth just $1T last year? Where did the $400B come from?
I have a feeling this is just a bubble by investors that will collapse. Both Google and Microsoft that has much bigger market share and product offerings are not bigger than Apple, something is not right here.
It is an impressive / interesting fact and Apple should be congratulated. It is, however a little sad and an indictment of the capitalist world. When you think of some of the incredible businesses on the DAX [and elsewhere] that make / provide fantastic technologies [that make what Apple deoes actually possible], businesses that produce medical treatments and apparatus for the good of mankind etc that only get measured by how rich they make their shareholders.
Just wait and see the mkt cap after Powerbook G5 releases!
Kraut-Hater? Or just sneering?How about them apples? Germany's entire DAX stock market is worth less than Apple. This is interesting and welcome news!
What does it tell you? Can you write more precisely?Says a lot more about my country than it does say about Apple...
GDP has grown every year for the past 10 years
When Apple produces their best ever MacBook Pro, Mac Pro, iMac, MacBook Air, Mac mini; best ever iPhones: 11, 11 Pro, 11 Pro Max; best ever iPads: mini 5, iPad 10.2”, iPad Air 3, iPad Pro 11/12.9”; best ever Apple Watch, AirPods, AppleTV and Pro monitor... then what you get is record-setting, all time high revenue and profits. An installed base of over 1.5 billion products.
That’s reality, for those that live in the real world.
I remember that they told us on the news recently, that the DAX is particularly high at the moment. Which makes this even more depressing.
GDP has grown every year for the past 10 years, and the DAX recently hit an all time high. During that time the unemployment rate has steadily decreased, and is lower than most of Europe and the US.
How is that a "slump"?

So Flash support, CD-ROM drives, and headphone jacks were removed to "further profits"? Seems to me the common thread is outdated technology that takes up space (just like ports to charge and transfer data).
Good one.
Only America has created Apple, Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Twitter etc, the giants of this age. There is something, or perhaps more likely a combination of somethings, that has ensured US technology business is dominating the 21st century even more than in the late 20th. Brits like me and Germans like you can only look on in wonder, and of course we can carry on buying the products!
Airmail is the 🐐Yes. It is so sad. Changes fonts unpredictably. Embeds files unpredictably.
I switched to Airmail for these reasons. Mail app has the faster search though.
No, Apple increasing the day before was only a recovery of the losses they had already made due to the virus in China. So this was literally a couple of percent increase. Regardless of what that translates to in relation to the financial size of the company it is most certainly not a jump let alone a surge. Apple fluctuates on that level all the time, and we don’t get headlines every day talking about surges. A 2 per cent increase for a stellar earnings report and future growth does not correlate and headlines talking about surges are simply headline grabbers. It’s tiresome.Because a 3% bump in aapl is almost $50B in value or 1/3 of all of NFLX. Apple was also up the day before, so it's like 6% in 2 days, or almost $100B.

As a German, this is frustrating on so many levels...
I just explained to you how a 3% move in Apple is a bigger deal because of its enormous size.No, Apple increasing the day before was only a recovery of the losses they had already made due to the virus in China. So this was literally a couple of percent increase. Regardless of what that translates to in relation to the financial size of the company it is most certainly not a jump let alone a surge.

For me the Apple Watch S5 cellular is the most "inspired" product produced to date and a close second is the Denon DL-110 Moving Coil Cartridge.Yeah, I mean, look how ‘uninspiring’ the AirPods and Apple Watch is, totally slaughtering the market right now in terms of growth, not to mention the Apple Watch is the _only_ real competition out there, with Fitbit at a dead end (And being acquired from Google). But it must be true what one member says on Macrumors to determine for the million(s) of other people that support Apple products every day. That’s why comments like yours have no real credibility when you interject some form of personal vendetta against Apple.
2% of Apple is worth approx. 50% of Netflix. It's a newsworthy number.How is it that when Apple moves a couple of per cent the media call it a jump or a surge. It’s barely anything. When a stock like Netflix on occasion jumps 10 per cent, now that’s a surge.
Yeah, you've never had the misfortune of using a product by Europe's largest and most profitable software company, SAP.
As the latest news says, Germany has avoided a recession. A looming recession, or a recession that has been avoided, means the country is not (yet, anyway) in a slump.All I’ll say are the following links which are easy to find, I’m afraid I can only go by reputable news sources, which are not painting a pretty picture for Germany.
