Apple's Stock Price Tops $410 to Reach All-Time High

[TallManNY]

I think Steve leaving CEO to being only the Chairman of the Board and everyone knowing that he is probably contacted on a daily basis on all major decisions as well as getting updates on the company is not really the test of how Apple will do without Steve. I think the market assumes that (a) he still has tremendous influence in the company and (b) if something were to happen that he didn't like (like Apple buying Facebook with some of that cash it has lying around doing nothing), that Steve would veto that action and possibly re-establish himself as CEO.

Whoaa...easy there...

It is WAY too early to see stock prices reflect Tim Cook's leadership - keep in mind that Jobs was at the helm through the development of iOS 5, iPhone 5, 4s, and iPad 3 (which is only launching in Q3 due to display shortages).

Wait until we have a major product rev which is completely independent of Jobs (and with him still on the board, it would be difficult to even tell when that happens), then we will have a clearer picture of Tim Cook's leadership and the market's approval of it.

Thank you. This made my day a bit more enjoyable.

Investors were nervous about succession. Not anymore now that Tim Cook has been moved to CEO and Steve to Chairman. Hence, the stock rise.

That and the continued growth.

No no. If you work at Apple, then you would know. Is better culture now.

What is the news for today's price jump? The markets are down 200 points, yet Apple is up nearly $10/share.

Meh, I don't really trust these analysts. Now the previous one that claimed the iPhone 5 would be "released in a couple weeks," now HE hit the nail on the head.

How does the average person go about buying stock in Apple? You can't just go to the iTunes store and add stock to your cart (although this would be awesome). Seems silly to sign up for something like Fidelity just to buy stock in 1 or 2 companies.

That's how many people get started. They just open a brokerage account, deposit a few hundred dollars and buy a couple of stocks or funds because that's all they can afford to invest in at the beginning.

The wise investor will do a lot of research before picking an investment, whether it be a stock, mutual fund, ETF, ETN, bond, etc.

I recommend Scottrade. $7/trade and no minimums.

good to know then i am still a multi-millionaire

Even if I don't sell them, they still belong to me. I never said I will buy more Apple products now. It's not because it fluctuates that it doesn't represent my money. The USD currency fluctuates too, and you can still call it your money.

And what if I decided to sell some shares today? It's my business, I don't know what's up with the downvoting to be honest.

You sound like every other person that owns two shares of AAPL and wants to come off as a high roller. You come into a thread bragging about your earnings, but then it's magically your private business when you're called out on it.

And the negative ratings are most likely the result of your pretentious attitude.

Who ever said apple will die when steve left was wrong !

true. Honestly I am waiting for Steve Jobs death then I will buy the stock afterwards because I expect it to drop like a rock for a while. For me that would be a good buy.

People still are thinking SJ is running the show and as long as that image is there things will not change.

true. Honestly I am waiting for Steve Jobs death

Lovely.

First trillion-dollar company.

Petro-China held that title in 2007.

Do not see apple share is going to slow down anytime soon...

People will buy iPad 3 for retina Display and iPhone6 for LTE next year all over again.


Apple share will easily hit 500 dollars by end of this year. Apple is probably set it place for next 2-3 years with releasing products and announcements.

Steve jobs is also still with Apple as Chairman. He cannot run the company forever, but he will manage all of major tasks. So, people who worry so much... go and sell. Apple share looks more attractive than any other stocks in the world.

Apple has a good chance of becoming first trillion dollars company.

Lovely.

One day ignore lists will work for quotes and I will never again accidentally read something Rodius Prime wrote.

iFace anyone?

As high as Microsoft 10 years ago?

How high do you guys think Apple's stock will get?

 

[daxomni]

Considering Apple is growing at 50% per year, the stock is probably spot on or less than it should be...

Yes, we should all trust the market analysts that have done such a great job of predicting and avoiding bubbles in the past.

 

[jinjo235]

Can you imagine the buying that would occur if they split right now and everyone got 2:1???

I bet prices would be back up to $400 by the end of the year.

I think you are absolutely right and I think it's only a matter of time. Right now though, there really is no strategic reason for APPLE to split it. Yes, you could have a lower investment price for everyone but think about it. Apple wants all of their products to feel extremely valuable. Apple also wants every share of stock to seem very valuable. We can continue to hope though! The minute it does a 2:1 (4:1 anybody?!?!) I'll be buying a whole lot more for sure!

 

[Rodimus Prime]

Lovely.

I love how you leave out the rest of the post just to insult me and make me look worse than I really am.

A standard LTD move to insult people who he does not like.. Twist what is written to insult people. At least put the full quote in there instead of leaving off the critical part.

To buy Apple stock I am waiting for Steve Jobs dead because it will drop like a rock and we know it will go back up but it is a buy cheap sell high.

Thank you yet again for making all us Apple fans look bad.

Stupid stock market stat of the day…

When Apple’s market cap hits $400 billion, they’ll be worth more than Microsoft and Google — combined.

They’re now less than $20 billion away from that happening.
