It's still interesting to see if Apple could go that far. That will be the day.
I found the number (somewhat).
"With the recent spurt in the stock price, Microsoft's market capitalization has reached nearly $600 billion, putting it back in first place ahead of General Electric's $475 billion market cap."
Maybe their buybacks are effecting the valuation with my calculations but using Google Stocks — which I assume is accurate — the numbers and date I posted are the highest I can find.

Can't argue with the WSJ but they don't list how they came to these numbers. While my data looks to be incorrect I have shown my work (gold star for the day?) So what am I missing here? Is it stock buybacks that i'm not accounting for?

I was just asking where you were the other day. There was another "big-letter poster" in a recent thread and it reminded me I hadn't seen you around lately.

I'm too busy calculating how much my Apple stock's are worth. It's a great time to be an Apple shareholder.
Thats a very revealing image. Samsung - 313k, Nokia - 422k & Apple a dismal 89k. LOL... all this cheerleading and hoopla for a dismal third place? Too funny!
Hi slapppy, it's always good to have you on board with some entertaining remarks.

Dang, man, step up your game! I was hoping for a comment on current events!
"Apple ended the day $11.79 lower than it began. We finally reached the top of the hill. Sell your stock now; it'll only get worse from here!"
Something like that. You know you're slipping when better (albeit satirical) 'anti-Apple rants' are written by Apple lovers.

I just hope they don't start a new trend of trying to circumvent it by calling people "oscillating man-children".
As for the swearing, it's my personal opinion that there's no place for that nonsense anywhere, but I accept that people do swear and the action in and of itself doesn't necessarily merit scolding. Casual swearing makes one look like a fool, and there aren't many places more casual (and therefore where swearing makes absolutely no sense) than a text-based Internet forum.

I worked at MSFT when it was at its web-bubble-peak and there were about 10 Billion shares outstanding. Made rule of thumb calculations pretty simple.

PS: AAPL is now down for the day. LOL

EDIT: I see now. the all time high is $115 from the link above, not $58.719.
"Microsoft closed at 113.69, up 5.25. Earlier in the day, the shares reached 115, an all-time high."
But that would also be without the 2:1 stock split. That means MSFT had half the shares in 1999 with a peaked share price of $117.438.

So the split was after this? I see. But anyway looks like we have to wait for the day a bit longer.

Good question. I am puzzled too.

Don't write stuff like that. They know where you live. They know every dark secret if you have used google search in you life.

I remember he made some racist comment about Koreans in the same oversized text. He must have received a warning for that and a ban for this one.
Things that can get you banned on AI:
- Calling someone a name
- Calling an Apple fan a fan b*y
- Replying to someone that calls an Apple fan a fan b*y
- Making a racist comment
