Week the shares of the Apple company registered an unexpected increase amid rumors of release iPhone 5/iPad Mini, but also after offering the first dividends from the last decade. The growth of last week did not stop today when Apple became the most valuable company in the history of the American stock market, according to market capitalization, and implicitly of mankind, some would say. This title was held by the Microsoft company, which in December 1999 had reached a stock market capitalization of 618.89, with only 0.98 billion dollars lower than that recorded today by Apple.
The title of those from Apple is still debatable if we take into account the fact that in 2007 the PetroChina company was valued at 1000 billion dollars on the Chinese stock exchange, but this valuation was not supported by the New York stock exchange. Practically, Apple is certainly the most valuable company in the history of the American stock market, but the title of the most valuable company in human history is still subject to debate.
