MS is no longer really a challenger to that figure, but Google might make it difficult, given their continued rise and the intent (in this scenario) to add to theirs whatever MS has.

Stocks don't move on possible invites to a new product event. Where do people get this stuff?
When it is Apple, the stocks do jump on rumors, events etc.
But with events, there's usually an actual invite before the stocks jump. Not a rumor there might may be one possibly soon.
Why?
Why is it silly?
Just open an account. Put in what you intend to invest / trade. It's not a big deal, and you get to see prices in real time (instead of twenty minutes behind).

Ah they might me right you never know. Steve has not fully left yet.
People should say what they mean. We are not mind readers. And you sir are very rude. We all know Steve left CEO and not Apple entirely. The person next time should say it correctly.
Left Apple = no longer working for Apple. And since Steve is still an employee of Apple ie is working for Apple and has not left the company. So it's obvious what was said.
Steve has not left Apple yet. He just has an entirely new role there. He will leave Apple when he is no longer an employee there.
The original quote in question is just from someone who didn't think before they typed and should have known better. He knows, we all knows Steve has not left Apple yet.
And in this corner...
"...their continued rise" ? They are up, what 6% over the last year? Less than Microsoft. And, like Microsoft, way down from their all-time high.

It doesn't matter why you want Steve Jobs Dead. The fact is you said you do.
It is very sad you want to profit out of someone's death.

Dude, any reasonable person would interpret "he left" as jobs leaving apple, its that simple, if he meant leave his position of ceo for another position within the company, he should say that, no "he left".

Hard to say.
My predictions have been correct for the last several years on AAPL.
Every Christmas I make a few little wagers with my "glass is half empty" friends on AAPL.
I'm thinking that $600 is not impossible in the next 18 months, and this time my prediction is along side the "experts" out there who already have guidance of $575, so what I am saying this time is not a big stretch because EVERYONE is saying that now. My previous predictions were flying in the face of all the idiotic viewpoints, but everything comes around.
I guess the reason I did so well is that while I listened to everyone, I didn't let them do the thinking for me, my own predictions were way different than the experts over the last 20 years, and it payed off bigtime.
So do you really think any other makers are going to be able to compete with Apple? I don't. Virus loaded Androids? Phooey - geeks only will want that. Low price with big features from China makers or Korea makers? Not gonna fly in USA - the App Store and all the ecosystem effects are way too powerful to duplicate properly. They will all have weaknesses, and only the "PC" people out there are looking at these clones of the iPad, and you can see them at the store with glazed eyes because they have no clue what they are even going to do with the device they are looking at. At least with Apple, these same techno noobs are going to get treated royally and have a chance to discover why these machines are good for them.
Anyway - there is a lot to say about it for sure - but yeah, Apple is going up and so is the entire stock market. My DOW 20K prediction is still ON for 2014ish. It almost has to happen. But a huge musical chairs crash event could mess everything up too! So be careful and get some push alarms going on the stock price so you can get out quick if needed.

My motivation for telling you all this is strictly due to my growing Ego! So take what I say with a grain of salt. I'm just so stoked about making so much money, I'm giddy! Yay! But I don't mean to be an arse, if anyone thinks I am being one by showing off so much.
LTD lives in a fantasy world where he works for Apple and is the sole party responsible for defending the company's honor.
You need to learn to read. He didn't say he wanted SJ to die. He said he wasn't going to buy stock until he does. Completely different.
You can either wish, or put your money where your mouth is (and earn sufficient savings to do so, if necessary). Wishful thinking, while less risky, won't earn you any capital gains.
What pretentious attitude? I thought he was just making a point in a lighter vein that he has more money to buy Apple products. It is the distract-or who jumped on that gracelessly.

What one should have did was invest in Apple back in March 6, 2009 when it was about $84 a share. Dump your life savings into it...and then sell today....

These forums are full of the most snarky, arrogant, holier-than-thou people I have ever come across. Everyone... Everyone knew what he meant, and what he was referring to. Because he used 11 words and not 17 to get his meaning across, you guys feel its worthwhile to pick apart what he said and try and make him look stupid, or try to make yourself look smart. Why? Why are you starting an argument? What's the point?
"Who ever said apple will die when steve left was wrong !"
The easy and obvious interpretation of which is:
"The people who claimed that Apple stock would tank when Steve stepped down as CEO were wrong!"
But go ahead. Keep trying to seem smarter than people in a forum. If that makes you smile and you feel good about yourself, awesome. Just know... it doesn't come across as smart. It comes across as rather stupid.
Well there have been rumblings about RIM . . . in any event keep your eyes open for a PlayBook fire sale in the not-too-distant future.
