It's fine Apple is doing so well.
I just wish they had some motivation to change their ways as of late, and having all time high stock prices won't be that.
Really, I just want to know if macOS will still be considered the "world's most-advanced operating system" like it used to be marketed and designed. If it becomes more like a version of iOS and they continue removing and hiding advanced features, I don't know where that will leave me.

I think I'd rather have bought Tesla a year ago when they were at $140. They're now up to $280. I knew the stock was about to explode, but I was heavily in debt, so I watched that opportunity pass me by.
I had an opportunity again just 5 months ago when they were $180... I didn't anticipate that they would move up so quickly from there or else I might have done something...
Some customers are both.
It's often a very good sign when a company makes you want to repeatedly spend your hard-earned cash on their profitable products. Some people take advantage of that concept by investing their own savings.
Fantastic. This means Apple has even less motivation to push new products since they're resting on their laurels and are still raking in money.
The crash will happen, and it will be glorious.

I have 100 shares at $90. God I wish I would have bought 4 times that. Let me rephrase that further. I wish I would have never sold the shares I had for $100, when it hit $200, then ultimately $700, lol.
You'll have the opportunity again. Tesla has a history of bouncing back and forth between $180ish and $260ish. Just wait. It will drop back down again.
Gotta sell sometime. No point in being the richest man in the cemetery.
I think the massive shift of investors to index funds is driving AAPL up since it is the largest company in the world. Vanguard recently passed $4 Trillion in assets. Their largest fund is the Total Stock Market Fund which AAPL is 2.5% of. It all seems like a massive overinflated bubble ready to pop anytime. Or it could keep going up. Nobody knows. I wonder where the Trump Train will take us.
I am soooooo tempted to go short on Apple. Just not sure I have the balls to do it.

Off the cliff, if analysts are to be believed.
Short to mid-term gains, then a harsh correction. Take banks for example, mostly up and some sharply. Talk of deregulation is fueling the stock bump. It's all speculations. If they repeal all the safeguards Democrats put in place after 2008, it will become a bubble and it will eventually lead to another sharp correction. We need to get off this quarterly-report-based compensation for top executives. It fuels short term performance objectives. It's this constant boom-bust market mentality. I'll take steady and sustained growth instead.

in late 1999 Microsoft’s valuation reached some dizzying heights. And that was 17 years ago. On Dec. 27, 1999 Microsoft’s valuation hit an all-time record of more than $613 billion. In today’s dollars that would be more than $905 billion in 2017
Then they went down (~$150B in 2009) and now climbing back up to $497B (after pivot), Apl will go down as their primary product is about to get smashed by Microsoft and OEMs (surface weakening Apl eco first)
Microsoft not Apl will be the first $1T company...Apl is running out of ideas and customers. Plus Buyback at all time high is stupid beyond belief. Everyone knows you buy low, have to wonder if Apl simply was lucky with timing they don't seem very smart.
Nothing to support these highs, house of cards. IPhone has declined yet again when comparing weeks and not getting an extra one to add on, that in a quarter when Samsung had their worst PR ...not good.
APL at $200? LOL what a joke.

Are we still all on this "Fire Tim Cook" brigade? I thought he was the worst CEO Apple has ever had according to MR commenters.
Keep saying this over and over year after year, and maybe eventually you'll be right. It won't make you remotely prescient, however.
This act from people is getting tired.
And this is all anyone will ever focus on. Forget Macs, forget the professionals who kept the Mac platform alive when everyone else declared Apple dead, forget that the company has far too many hands in far too many things, forget that the company is almost entirely dependent on the iPhone.
It's the bean counter in charge that's driving this laser-focus on profits to the detriment of everything else and when the shoe drops he'll leave a scorched-Earth Apple in his wake.

Well, no, just the opposite. AAPL was in a narrow trade range much of last year while other tech stocks were rocketing. Also last year not much excitement product-wise from Apple. So now the iPhone 8 rumors are starting to heat up and it sounds like at least one model might be quite interesting and different. That speculation is why AAPL is on the rise -- the thought Apple could have another true blockbuster on its hands, not just sold out because it slowed production.
So if this teaches Apple anything its that the stock market will reward it when it makes worthwhile new product and it will be punished when it makes the schlock it made last year.
I don't think you understand how splits work. Apple stock has never been worth more than it is right now.
They touched on it in the article as well to clarify. If you converted the current price to back before the split, the current price would be $942. Apple never reached $942 before the split.
Finally, Apple is underpriced for some years now, near $200 seems more realistic, but stock is stock.
We all know new stuff is coming soon so i think this is the basis for the run.

False. Apple is the world's most valuable *publically traded* company. The world's most valuable company is Saudi Amarco, which has an estimated value of up to $10 trillion.
One potentially nice product does not absolve TC of all his other messes. Plus if the iP8 is everthing as advertised its more on Ive, Riccio, and Srouji. TC is like a witness to history but takes credit for the victories. He has zero imagination when it come to hardware.
Of course, Carl Icahn will say it's totally undervalued. I swear, that guy would still say it's undervalued if it went on to BRK-A prices (currently 250,100).
