    It's certainly possible. Investment in a phone service has been mentioned, as has Cable.

    I'm sure it wouldn't hurt. But it seems to me that it would only by a small number of people who 1) wouldn't otherwise know about or use the iTMS, 2) instead use google to search for music, and 3) as a result of their google search, install, create an account, and buy something with iTMS.

    Good move for Google. I do find some music hard to find in iTunes.

    I think it got to a high of about $90.60 prior to the split(17th Feb2005). This means that anything more than $45.30 is in positive teritory.



    It all adds to a shiny halo...

    The day it split it closed at $44.86 ($89.72).



    It was several points below that when it was announced.



    It closed at$87.18 ($43.90) on the 17th.



    It's in positive territory as long as it's higher than you bought it for. It doesn't matter what it was when it split, or what its high was.

    The .com bubble was at ~$150 prior to two splits, ie, $35 by current reckoning.



    Yes, we're 25% above the 'insane highs' of the .com days. Nice, eh? Not many other companies can claim that kind of rebound.

    Yeah, I had the stock big time in the '90's. I got rid of it when it went down about 15%. Good thing. I made so much back then with all the stocks it was amazing.



    I finally bought it back in January 2004.

    the yahoo chart is all 'split-adjusted' now.

    so on a 'split-adjusted' basis AAPL is trading at an all-time high

    This will be their highest sales year ever. They reached a previous hight of almost $12.5 billion in 1995, until Michael "you don't have to be a visionary to run Apple" Spindler almost destroyed the company in the '95 holiday season.

    how come whenever, in the history of appleinsider, they report that apple stocks are on the rise, they fall within a day?

    Because that's what happens. It's like "Red Light, Green Light".



    You look at the moving averages not one days price. If the market wasn't plunging today it might have gone higher. Or if this Google deal was true, and they announced it; it would have gone higher.

    Google is on a tear. Even though the iTMS doesn't necessarily need a lot of help, I think it's in Apple's best interest to form a partnership with them.
