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! 😀

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?

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

Can you say:

Apple = Volatile 😱

Apple stock is just too big of a risk. 😱
 
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.
