This Is What A $240/Share AAPL Would Look Like In Context
If Carl Icahn, whose $6.8 billion in AAPL holdings makes him nearly a 6x bigger holder of the stock than the Swiss National Bank, is correct and AAPL is truly worth $240/share today, or about $1.4 trillion, roughly equivalent to 9% of US GDP, then this is how AAPL would rank if it were a sovereign nation (and yes, we know comparing market cap to GDP is idiotic, but so is everything else these days).
For the purists, at $240/share, AAPL would be 2.2x larger than the entire market cap of the Italian or Swedish stock market, 1.9x larger than all Spanish public companies combined, it would be almost the same size as the market cap of all Swiss companies, and is just about 70% of the market cap of Germany or France.

worth every cent!
Rotten to the core!
And watch out for the worms
Undervalued, I would rather own all of Apple than all of France.
I just saw Kingmaker. Puts me in a different mindset for reading this article.
<------ Apple
<------ Google
Who is the Bigger of the Big Brothers?
Yaz, yaz, Tylers. All fine and dandy,
but never underestimate the power of SMUG;)
Rational
Zoots and freakin' Alours!!!
Mon Dieu!!
Liberte, egalite, fraternite!!
Maybe Apple will buy the Mistral carriers. You know, since they are basically a sovereign and all.
It's not rotten, it's the living embodiment of our modern society. Sadly this is the world as it is and not much hope left for a soft landing and reset. I guess death and destruction are the coming cool thing....
Market it just right, and people will welcome and embrace their own death and destruction with open arms.
Yeah, the only difference between shit and fertilizer is packaging......
It'll hit 66 before it hits 240
My last pay check was $9500 working 12 hours a week online. My sisters friend has been averaging 15k for months now and she works about 20 hours a week. I can't believe how easy it was once I tried it out. This is what I do... www.jobs-review.com

Fucking insanity is the new normal.
Never been a fan of fucking insanity. Those padded cells really chaf.
How does the Russian Federation have such a high GDP? I thought the Zios sanctioned them or some such shit?
They are still making real shit like oil and diamonds.
don't mind the maggots
They put something in those phones. Some kind of crystal or frequency generator that modifies your brainwaves.
My wife went to upgrade her phone (of course Apple) and the people at the Verizon store were just gaga over Apple. The one chick sitting there was talking about the watch and how her and her dad were in competition on geting one, blah blah blah. She suggested to my wife to get a certain color case because it doesn't show makeup on it. 'Like, if you apply a lot of makeup, like I do."
One guy piped up that you can draw on it and send the picture to others.
I about had to wash that place off of me when we left. You would seriously pay $300+ for a way to send doodles to your friends?
This is what life has come to in America? Can we possibly get ANY softer?

Surely, you have seen this:

No. Thanks for sharing link. Hiliarous.
You can send Obama dick signatures to your friends.

Are you kidding me we pay ballplayers 100's of millions per player in salary. A watch is nothing. Small compared to the need to fill freetime. Not everything has to be in the stricktest sense productive. Maybe when we get our priorities straight vis a vis ballplayers and say a school that really teaches somewhere then your on ot something.
"Can we possibly get ANY softer?"
If I'm a Chinese or Russian general, news like this is music to my ears.
You are comparing GDP to market cap, a better comparison would be GDP to revenue instead. The US isn't "worth" 16B, it just has that much revenue.
I am getting a car loan and student loan and going to go all in on AAPL...it is all about LEVERAGE!
That much power with no morality means we are all doomed; unless of course we can march them to the pyramids in time.
they make phones and tablets. last i checked you don't really need one to survive.
Here are some examples that many will not; this is sad and pathetic in so many ways imo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lSL8hQgLOF0 (3:39)

The only Apple product I would consider buying, for road trips and the occasional lazy Sunday, is the iDiaper.
The "Law of Large Numbers" will prevent the AAPL share price from getting anywhere near that ridiculous figure.
Just another fat-fuck, like Bernanke, with a small weenie
so hows that 'watch' working for ya? as a consumer discretionary electronics company, all they needs is a Lisa or iTV and suddenly negative cash flow while doing buybacks and borrowing....yes $66.
while appl isnt on my short list...others are getting quite juicy: nflx, icpt, act share prices in the 100s with not a cent of gaap earnings and negative cash flow....puts at $50 strike in 2016 might do the trick
went to apple store to try the watch out of curiosity, the thing is the biggest POS i have ever seen, completely useless/un-usable.
The menu navigation was really a pain in the ass given the control scheme.
Once you consider the future QE (100% guaranteed and everyone knows it; only unknown is who when and how) all stocks are grossly undervalued and since Apple is a stock ....
All stocks are overvalued, or most, the thing is relative degree of overvaluation, and ability to expand, to innovate, and to get repeat customers. Apple's inroads into China continue to develop, india will be next but Chinese companies will block expansion at some stage. Icahn naturally overstates it, but it remains one of the best tech stocks. Essentially any argument apple bashers make applies even more to other tech companies. all this said, if you go on amazon say and search for tablets, and order lowest to highest price, some of those low end companies are probably great buys.
Jmo, of course.
But, but, but, this is CRAPPLE!!! All the rest are just CRAP.
...
Icahn got crushed on RIG, where he accumulated a 12% stake at $40. it hit $14 when oil tanked and I wet my pants.
here is hopin for a repeat.
I bought an Ipod touch 5 years ago. it's nice. I bought 50 or 60 new songs for it too after I burned all my old CD's....but that's the only apple product I've ever bought. No plans for future Apple products.
It is nicer to have an iPhone than visit France
I have never been to France (no desire either) and I have never owned an Apple product (too "cheap"); give thumbs up if you are in the same boat and a thumbs down if you have been to France and/or currently use an Apple product. Thanks...And the survey says???
Actually,he may be right...
why, think of it as a cable company equivalent, then price per user
300 million iphones sold * 4000/ user = 1.2 T + cash 200b = 1.4 Trillion
maybe even a premium cable co, as they will extract more rent from you than a standard cable co, so say 6,000/user or 1.8T + 200 billion cash= 2 trillion or $300+/share...just give it a year...
"Just give it a year"; as the market & the nation & the world goes...so goes Apple. Of course the Chinese could save the Apple.
Icahn has gone bat shit crazy. You can't pull this kind of crap with a stock in as bright a spotlight as AAPL.
God has a great sense of humor; Apple represents all that is materialism/worldly & Obama is everything opposed to the principals the nation was founded (even the name shows His sense of Humor), which were godly. Sadly; it will end very badly for most and only a remnant will escape the final judgment...just as it always is, for man is born to trouble as the sparks fly upward!
Can people survive without smartphones? You be the judge.

I had an iPhone since they came out. Always had to 'upgrade'. Couple weeks ago I killed it and got a dumb flip phone. Life is much better this way.
I have never owned an Apple product. I've never used iTunes either which means I can drag my .mp3 files into folders!
