Apple today hit a market value of $2 trillion, doubling in valuation in just over two years.
Apple, the first publicly traded U.S. company to reach a $1 trillion market cap, is now the first publicly traded U.S. company to reach a $2 trillion market cap.
Apple first reached a $1 trillion market cap on August 2, 2018.
On July 31, 2020, Apple surpassed the state oil giant Saudi Aramco to become the world’s most valuable publicly traded company.
MacDailyNews Take: Congrats, Apple and AAPL shareholders! Onward and upward!
Yeah, I know, but medical database is very big - potentially bigger than all the others combined.
The EV market is limited by power generation; which is politically limited to unreliable sources- wind solar bio; which take 10-100X the land to produce less power. EV will be a loser until thermonuclear power, or something similar, becomes an everyday reality.
You’re presumptuous and wrong; I have been to several cities in China, and I keep regular correspondence with people who grew up there, or that are there all the time. My experience was that the people there are lovely, but the government is awful.
You don’t have to have been there to know what a disaster Communism is. As my mother used to say, I don’t need to jump off a building to know that it’s a stupid thing to do. Perhaps you’re saying that they’re not entirely Communist. That would be damning them with faint praise.
Apple’s issues go beyond China in any case, and are shared by most companies in Silicon Valley. They don’t seem to like America all that much, and they don’t like people like those on FR the least little bit. And they act on that dislike.
It was up more than $5, now it’s only up more than $2. My entire account was *wiped out*!!! /jk
Agreed, but who thinks prices have doubled in the past couple of years as AAPL has done?But investing in precious metal is worth a serious look.
But not to the exclusion of AAPL . . .
.
“Market Value”
That’s STOCK value - PAPER VALUE
Something happens and overnight its then ‘worth’ HALF or a QUARTER of that ‘value’.

AAPL has indeed done well lately, and it wasn’t inevitable. My minor beef was with meaningless milestones like “first 2 trillion dollar company”.
. . . except that cheap natural gas disproves the theory that carbon is the issue."'The issue' is never the issue - the issue is the revolution!"
Actually l can too. I just wish I knew firsthand.
account only up by $162 or so today - lots of profit taking I think
You’re presumptuous and wrong; I have been to several cities in China

Then don’t talk like some sort of jingoistic idiot as you did in your earlier posts. Say who you are and where you are coming from up front to be credible
Yup. Apple Watch 6 should be out soon, and will likely include (at minimum) an oxygen saturation sensor - which will be a HUGE selling point in the time of COVID (early critical indicator is plummeting O2 saturation: [buzz beep] “Your O2 levels are falling rapidly. Would you like to call 911?”). Continuous monitoring of any medical data is valuable, and processing that data - both for individual’s use and anonymized for massive studies - will rake in $$$.
As wild rides go, AAPL is a funeral procression compared with TSLA.
I wonder what happens after the split?
More people will be able to buy shares of Apple at the lower price. Diversity of ownership of publiclly traded companies is a good thing.
Long and staying long on AAPL something like 2500% return since originally bought. Plus the dividends. AAPL has been officially declared “dead” at least 500 times. Way way back it was declared: born dead
oxygen saturation sensor
Amazing that something sitting on one’s skin can determine oxygen intake
The SpO2, blood oxygen saturation sensors have progressed to where the tiny sensors have become disposable.
I have a souvenir from my last hospital stay. Less than 4mm square the terminal connector is larger than the sensor, all afixed to the finger with tape, much like a band-aid. Throw away
Scheduled for an encapulated endoscopy exam....that’s a gel cap size video camera and transmitter that’s swallowed to record views of the small intestine inaccessible via regular colon endoscopy. Has its own light and transmits pictures to a carried sling recorder about the same size as digital Holter type monitors. Passes out normally...FAQs state, “You might see tiny flashes of light in your toilet bowl, stay calm, it’s normal.”
Med tech is advancing extremely rapidly...amazing s***.

TSLA is what I call the Maalox Rollercoaster.
How nice, up a mere .58 during market hours, up $1.77 by the end of after-hours trading.

A stock for only the most intrepid of non-risk adverse of speculators; newspaper stock listings and a dart work better actually.
