Apple Surpasses Google in Market Value

By Mr. Mayor

Apple Worth More Than Google in Market Value Apple has just recently passed Google in market value.

Last I checked, Apple’s market cap was at $158.2 Billion, while Google was sitting at $156.6 Billion. Yes, that’s right, Billion.

Two huge companies, and two huge success stories… But it is ceratainly a feather in Apple’s cap for surprassing Google in market value.

Today in the markets, Google opened up at a whopping $501.60 per share, while Apple opened at $177.98 per share. At the moment, Google is down around $4 per share, and Apple is up just over $1 with the markets about to close for the day.

Apple Keynote Index Fund

By Mr. Mayor

Now this is an interesting idea!

What if… You invested a whole bunch of money in Apple (AAPL) the day before Steve Jobs gave his keynote at MacWorld… And then the day after, you sell it all!? How well do you think you’d do?

The premise is a good one. Last year you would have done very well with the now legendary iPhone keynote.

For more info, historical data on how much money you could have made, and all kinds of good stuff… go here.

AAPL, iPhone, Steve Jobs

By Mr. Mayor

AAPL Breaks the $200/share barrier

Apple shares reached an all-time high yesterday, briefly trading at over $200/share. As I write this, the AAPL is currently trading at $201.31 on the NASDAQ.

I only wish I had bought Apple shares ‘back in the day’, don’t you? The steady rise of the stock has been solid over the past 5 or so years, and I’ve included a graph below to illustrate my point…
