Apple shares hit new all-time intraday, closing highs
Tuesday, March 09, 2010 - 04:17 PM EDT

Shares of Apple Inc. today rose $3.94, or 1.80%, on heavier than average volume of 32,647,77 shares to set a new all-time closing high of $223.02.

Apple's previous closing high was $219.09 set on March 8, 2010. Apple's all-time high (intraday) stands at $225.00, set during trading today. Apple's 52-week low was $82.57, set on March 9, 2009.

At market close, Apple's market value stands at $202.14 billion since financial sites all use the latest published share count for Apple: 906.8 million shares outstanding as of January 15. However, Apple’s actual diluted share count, as per its latest 10-Q, was 919.783 million shares, which means that the company has a market cap of roughly $205.13 billion. For the lists below, we'll use what the financial sites use.

One "genius" Apple missed with it's campaign -- Al Dubin, the guy who wrote the lyrics to "We're In The Money".

Sweet, I have a special bottle put aside for the day we cream the Micro boys. November?

Mar 09, 10 - 05:34 pm Comment from: Tetrachloride

I'll go along with the November target. But, exptrapolating Deagol's valuation, etc, it could be June.

Suddenly I'm having flashbacks to 2000 - of NASDAQ hitting 5,000*, of SUNW and the other horsemen of the internet - all before it all came crashing down. Yes, we're all enjoying the ride up, but a correction is inevitable. We just don't know when.

* It's 2,340 today.

I think Apple is holding onto it's 40 billion dollars, because they are predicting another economic downturn here soon... Maybe it's just the little crazy Glenn Beck inside of me, being paranoid, but at least apple would have a huge cushion to land on in that case.

Add HTC to the list, so we can see where those s***ers are.

extrapolating from 2 data points (exciting!) and assuming a linear change (more exciting) using MS and Apple data then we get convergence in just over 5 weeks i think.

@Zach: It takes a brave man to admit there's a little Glen Beck inside of him. It can be ridiculed on so many levels. Bravo

Move aside Walmart, you are in the way.

Microsoft, can you feel the ground shaking as we come up behind you.

Hey Exxon-Mobile, selling dead dinosaurs will soon get you only second place on the list.

Who would have thought when Apple was on its death bed in the late 90s that 15 years later it would be the most valuable company in the US.

Mar 09, 10 - 07:13 pm Comment from: HolyMackerel

Apple and MS are economically 'competitive' rather than 'complementary' goods for the most part. As Apple approaches $250 B, MS should drop down to meet Apple at about $235 B.

If Apple's 50 new stores in China this year are any indication the sales increase and share price increase will be huge.

@Zach
Does it bring a tear to your eye? You must be from Utah, LDS Brother Beck is worshipped there. No so much here in CA.

Pump and dump time. The negative analyst review has just come out. The stock will dive 20 points in the next few days.
