Last night I was telling you that the shares of the Apple company reached the value of $410 on the American stock exchange, but that was not the highest value at which the shares of the Apple company were quoted. During the day, the shares were sold even for $413 apiece, but at the end of the trading session, Apple's shares remained at $411.63, despite the fact that at the beginning of the day they were worth only $395. The interesting part of this increase lies in the fact that the stock market registered a slight decrease yesterday, most of the companies' shares following the same trend, Apple being the only one that registered such a substantial increase.
Yesterday's increase gives Apple a market capitalization value of $381.62 billion, $23 billion more than Exxon Mobil's. The interesting part is that Apple with its 381 billion dollars is approaching the value of the stock market capitalization of those from Microsoft si Google together. The 2 companies together have an estimated value of 404 billion dollars, 21 billion dollars more than that of Apple. If things go as well for Apple today, then we might witness an increase in the stock market capitalization that would give the company a value greater than or equal to that of Microsoft and Google combined. Don't think that 21 billion dollars is a big value because in the middle of the day Apple had a value of 10 billion dollars higher than the one with which it ended the day.
