Apple's Stock on the Rise

YOu got to love the feeling you get from seeing APPL stock clime so quickly. Everything has been so positive for Apple lately.....I hope it continues, God knows they deserve it.
 
AAPL also passed MSFT!

I saw this and learned that AAPL also passed MSFt!
 
what about sony now ? what was the yahoo thing ? it said:

Yahoo Finance attributes the increased volume to a "revival of Sony buyout rumor".

but the link for "Yahoo Finance" didn't talk about no "revival of Sony buyout rumors"
 
Of note, this time last year Apple stock was trading around ~$12 a share. Its now hovering around the $27 a share mark.

What is significant about this, other than the return on investment, is that Apple is now worth $10 billion dollars again.

I believe that's the idea, although it doesn't make much sense. :confused:

Nope, the rumor indicates that Sony is looking to buy Apple.
 
Not quite...it's just a projection (vision) of Anderson.
Apple is not there yet.

I know, otherwise I would have quoted Anderson. Apple should break $10 billion in revenue in 2006...should.

I was more saying it because back last year, Apple was worth less than the cash it held.

This makes absolutely no sense. Stock prices from different companies can Never be equated. Splits, p/e ratios etc make individual share prices what they are. A higher stock price than MS means nothing. IBM's share price is close to 100. Oooooh, that's higher than Apple and Microsoft put together... NO! There is only one stock that has never split - talk to Warren Buffett about that - you need tens of thousands of dollars to buy ONE share.

Ook "carleton", keep your clothes on. :rolleyes:

It makes perfect sense, from a simple point of view. I know stock splits and ratios change the prices around a lot, but I was looking at this from the standpoint of:
Microsoft=huge, dominating software company
Apple=small, struggling company with no where near the revenue of MSFT.

I am just happy to see Apple be "ahead" in a way.

Don't rain on my parade, dude! :rolleyes: :p ;)

Actually, It states that Apple is a Bank with computer and Music Divisions. This is based onthem not havin any debt, and regurlarly making money. If anything, Apple Will buy parts of Sony, or the entire company, especially considering Sony's eroding market share in Computers, TVs, Video Cameras, and Digital Cameras. They are only making money on CD, and Cassete Walkmen. Don't even get me started on MiniDisks.

Apple to Buy Sony... News at 11.

Stock price = nothing

The actual price of a stock means nothing. All it really is good for is tracking increase and decrease in value (WOO go AAPL!).

When stock prices get "too high," companies split the stock, making 2 out of 1 and halving the price, or sometimes a different ratio. So the price is suddenly half as much, but there are twice as many shares.

For AAPL to REALLY pass MSFT, they would have to have a higher total value of stock (stock price x number of shares). If Apple and MS have similarly priced individual stocks, you can bet the farm that there are many many many times more MS stock on the market.

CBS Marketwatch, however, attributes the increased trading to this USA Today article which reports on the iPod Mini's striking success and near sellout country-wide.

Not saying anything about the Sony rumors, but would Apple's stock really skyrocket with this much volume (over 20 million shares changed hands today already ... average is 5 million for the full day!) because of a USA Today article which basically says nothing more than a company press release said, what, a week or so ago?

I think CBS is completely wrong here.

It may be Sony rumors, or it may be something else that someone knows that we don't, or it may be just an "ordinary" event which triggered a sheep buy-in because of the other whispere rumors (I've seen that quite a few times ... rumors whispered about, and a fund decides to snap up a few million shares unrelated to the rumors and the mass of daytraders and such "sense" a sea change and jump in ...)

IMHO, I'm a happy shareholder ... pulled a few thousand of cash out now and letting the rest ride ...
