Apple Computer
It's been quite a week for up-and-coming iPod producer Apple Computer (AAPL: View sentiment for AAPLsentiment, chart, options) . Not only is the stock up nearly nine percent since December 9, but the company has apparently managed to overtake Dell (DELL: View sentiment for DELLsentiment, chart, options) in market capitalization due to its 12-percent surge between December 10 and December 13. Due to the move, AAPL's market capitalization rose to $72.13 billion, passing DELL's value of $71.97 billion. According to a Dow Jones Newswire article citing Appleinsider.com, this changing of the guard prompted a bit of mirth from AAPL CEO Steve Jobs. On Friday, Mr. Jobs sent an e-mail message to employees, which read: "Team, it turned out that Michael Dell wasn't perfect at predicting the future. Based on today's stock market close, Apple is worth more than Dell. Stocks go up and down, and things may be different tomorrow, but I thought it was worth a moment of reflection today. Steve."
