Apple's stock price is continuing to surge, and has risen over one percent today to push the company past $2 trillion in market capitalization by surpassing the $467.77 mark and briefly topping $468. Apple is the first U.S. company to achieve that milestone.

Just over two months ago, Apple became the first U.S. company to reach a market capitalization of $1.5 trillion, and Amazon and Microsoft have since also passed that mark. Apple was also the first to hit the $1 trillion mark just over two years ago.

Apple's share price has more than doubled since its low point just five months ago, and the company will be completing a four-for-one stock split at the end of this month. That will bring Apple's share price down to the $100 range, but with four times as many shares in circulation, it will not affect the company's overall market value.

Please take my poll. I think $10T is all but guaranteed in 3 years. The question is whether they can make it there in 1 or 2 years.

Same. It's a weird place to be in when you have to consider divesting because your concentration in AAPL has grown to an unhealthy level... Epic, the upcoming split, and the new devices coming out could all have an impact "one way or the other."
 
You’ll know to sell when Apple finally introduces the mid-sized tower that everyone on here constantly demands.

Hah, I remember all the calls for a mid-tower years ago, including my own. It's something I really wanted! I haven't seen it all that much lately, though.

I think a lot of people have accepted that the iMac is a great machine with great connectivity. I know I did; you can't buy the display that comes with the iMac separately and the next higher option (Pro XDR display) is way too expensive.

Long live the iMac!

I've been a bit nervous; there's a conspiracy theory going around that the only reason the markets are doing well is that the feds are pumping trillions of dollars into them. The day that stops, according to the rumors, the markets will crash hard.

Now, I tend to not believe in conspiracy theories; they are usually ridiculous and absurd. But the incompetence of our current administration has grown to levels never seen before in this country, and it feels like we're in unprecedented times. That, along with the pandemic, has me hovering a finger over the "Sell everything" button which I normally wouldn't do.

Time will tell, I guess.

I bought some AAPL and INTC July 5, 1985 with money I'd saved and tried to talk my parents into buying. I think the answer is, now leave the stock to my kids eventually. :) I should've sold in the 1990s and rebought just before the iPod though....but you never can time it.

Someone looking only at the S&P 500 would have no idea that we have double-digit unemployment and are in the midst of a pandemic-induced recession/depression. Stocks have priced in a LOT of fed intervention and the expectation, which may be unrealistic, that the economy will bounce right back once the pandemic has passed (be it this year or next year).
