Today on the American stock market, Apple set a new record because the value of its stock market capitalization exceeded 600 billion dollars for the first time since the establishment of the company. The figure represents an abstract sum of the value of the entire company and it constantly fluctuates together with the value of the shares, so that after a few minutes it dropped again below 600 billion dollars. Microsoft currently holds the record for the highest value of stock market capitalization because in 2000 the American company was worth no less than 619 billion dollars.
I think that Apple can easily reach and exceed this value considering that in recent months the price of its shares has increased constantly and it is approaching a few months full of rumors about the iPhone 5 plus a WWDC and a release of OS X Mountain Lion.
