Apple's Record Market Cap In FX, Inflation-Adjusted Context
To everyone who says AAPLs upside from here may be limited due to the law of large numbers or some such (as if the NSA will ever stop handing out free "student loans" to make sure it has voluntary tabs on everyone) oh how wrong you are.
As Carl Icahn, who just came out with his latest $216/share price target on AAPL (which does not fully explain instead of buying more here, in advance of his forecast stock doubling he is instead looking for more AAPL bondholders to indirectly buy his holdings) would remind you, history is replete with examples of publicly traded companies whose peak market cap, which when converted into USD and inflation adjusted, blow AAPL's meager $725 billion market cap out of the water.
So if the AAPL watch thing follows Google Glass right into the "wearable revolution" grace, and if iPhone users realize that for all the esthetic, the product is essentially a Applified Samsung product, it has three choices: it can try to monopolize Spanish-speaking nations in South America (or just capitalize on a debt bubble) , it can monopolize the French-speaking colonies in North America (and create another debt bubble), or like the first publicly traded company in the world, it can just bet the farm on Tulips... er iTulips.

I love the east indian company logo, because after that one was at it’s top, VAST wealths where destroyed and plummeted Europe in a crisis.
And so will Apple because everybody is now calling it the company of the century.

SD - the east india company all over again... but who give a shit about history.
My PT for AAPL, when the Fed rate increase never happens and QE5-8 are competed, is $800. Buy now or be left out.
I don't remember reading that announcement?
Well it will obviously have to trade $800 because it is going over $1000
It still has a way to go before it even reaches Dutch tulip mania.... the Worlds's first speculative bubble back in 1637.

Media's all worked up about Apple soon being the first trillion dollar company.

AAPL is selling iPones for ASP $750 to a quarter billion people per year. Made with Chinese slave labour. And paying next to no taxes on it. How much better can it get for Apple, really?
your employer gives you Iphone 6?
Who bought 75.4 million iphones in Q4? It is almost a third of the popluation in the USA. I think everybody in the USA already has an iphone. I know China has over a billion people, but how many of them can afford and want to buy iphones? Or is there some warehouse somewhere with 70 million iphones?
You are talking about people who culturally consider it much more important to drive a Mercedes to and from their shitty flat that is to small to ever show anyone. If you don't have the noney for the car, then its the phone.
Interestingly, bags and other traditional luxury brand junk are getting hit by the younger Asian attitude that your net gear is a more important symbol than your leather.
The average person buys a new smartphone every 21 months.
that’s just crazy!
It is because the batteries suck...
...if Apple pays taxes on its earnings, perhaps the total market value for its equity wouldn't be as rosy? ...
"Apple went to Ireland, and it found a pot of gold. Or more precisely, it managed to bring in $30 billion in overseas profits over a four-year period without paying a dime of corporate income tax to the Irish, American or any other national government." >>> http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/wonkblog/wp/2013/05/20/how-to-make-30-billion-and-pay-no-corporate-income-tax-the-apple-way/ ...
Once Cede & Co. cedes all of these paper games come to an ubrupt end anyway. So go Apple, go, you still have way to go to beat DEIC.
shhh..the first rule of Cede & Co. is you do not talk about Cede & Co.
I don't suppose anybody in Athens has inquired about selling the Hellenic Republic to Apple for a euro and a free iPhone for every Greek adult citizen on condition they assume the Greek government debt?
Think of the money Apple would save just on solar power.
Yanis Varoufakis has connections in the high-tech industry. Heck, they might keep him on as a consultant to design a monetary system that actually works properly.
If Greeks really aren't ready for the Eurasian Union, I can think of worse plan C's...
;)
(All fooling aside, the market cap of the whole Athens Stock Exchange is only in the USD43B range at the moment. Apple could buy out the oligarchs several times over.)
While I like and always have had Apple products I will not be upgrading my phone.
I have a 5s. Smaller screen but works fine. I wanted to upgrade to the 6. After doing my homework, instead of just trading in my old phone and using the credit to practically pay for the new phone I discovered that the data discount I get on AT&T will no longer apply. So in two years I am paying an extra $360.00 per phone and paying over $100.00 to upgrade which is the difference between 5s and 6+ after trade in.
I will not pay another $460.00 for a bigger screen. But I guess I am the only one who thinks that way. Or not!
Dutch East India Co. paid out 18% annual dividend for two centuries.
Unbelievable.
It's easy if you have guns. Lots of guns. And invade poorly-defended indigenous populations.
When I see this inflation adjusted I see one thing. Bubbles are getting smaller and smaller, as it stands right now.
Why? People are out of money to buy bubbles.
hooked on bling...
more Cramer ads - yeah
Does BoA (Bank of Apple) have a .gov reduced lending rate{taxpayer backed} lending division?
Ohh wait... BoA(Bank of Apple) just issues 1.00% bonds, and uses the cash to buy back all it's diluted shares, thereby enriching the I CON's of the world further.
the critters won't be happy until they can patent oxygen and water, and they still won't be happy
Praise to the Dutch founders of Wall Street.

Apple Google Facebook, they don't "break out" revenue from the NSA do they?
I wonder if they face D&O liability in the event some of the state's illegal spying on Americans is ruled unconstitutional.......and it turned out 90% of the above companies revenues were directly from illegal spying.
Something to think about from the folks at the insurance institute
