I wonder what happens after the split?

[rightwingcrazy]

2 trillion dollars, but what are those dollars worth?

Apple market capitalization topped $2 trillion today, the first company in history to reach that significant milestone. Shares moved up to $467.81, breaching the level of $467.77 needed for the historic level. Later this month, AAPL stock will split 4 for 1 after closing trading on August 26th and re-opening trading on August 31 at a value ¼ of each shares’ previous value, but each stock holder will have four shares where before they had held one. —PING

Wow, they are bigger than General Electric! Oh wait, they are bigger than Exxon...oh wait...they are bigger than ATT...oh wait, they are bigger than US Steel.... oh wait...

The biggest ones, fall the hardest. Apple will one day decline 95% from where it is today. They are their own worst problem in that every 12 months, they gotta do it again.... Sooner or later, their product will not be considered tops.

This Nasdaq bubble will burst just like y2k and lots of folks will see portfolios decline 80% or more, because they bought into this bubble.

That is a lot of money!

And they still put the charging port on the bottom of the magic mouse idiots

Okay, AAPL shareholders, anyone selling or paring back a bit? Let’s face it. In retrospect, selling this stock at any point in the past was usually a bad idea. With that said, I have peeled off a few shares here and there and then repurchased on dips. It can be done, though personally I’d have been better off if I never sold a single share. It’s shocking to me to be up 23x where I got in at 12.5 years ago. I almost feel like crying that I did go in heavier at that time. I’d be freakin’ retired right now.

They’re not a US company.

AAPL has fallen by a dime, making it less than $2 trillion. What a bunch of losers! /sarc

That figures out to about 4,275,605,533 shares, sez my calculator.

This Appleinsider page from 2014 sez, "861.74 million outstanding shares, Apple has 1.8 billion authorized common shares, allowing it nearly a billion shares which it could offer for sale or grant to employees or use for other reasons."

The Macrotrends page for AAPL sez 4.3 billion shares (q ending June 30, 2020). Barrons indicates that Apple's stock buybacks in 2019 cost $67 billion (avg cost $194 a share).

Exactly who are the ‘workers’ that gave Apple their wealth... All things considered, why are not the progressives trashing ‘Apple’?

Are you seein’ this?!? Premarket — a bit of an upward jump.
