Apple's Parabolic Frolic

"He's going vertical, so am I."
--Maverick (Top Gun)

Intraday high for AAPL = $600.01. Currently trades at a mkt cap of about $552 billion.


Bids the question of who holds the all time record for highest market cap. Does AAPL have it? Can't recall whether MSFT, CSCO or someone else may have claimed the title during the tech bubble days. Or if XOM may have the high water market during the crude spike.

position in CSCO

I remember that but considered it a 'technicality.' What about domestic shares?

Mr Softy approx $606B near end of 1999.
Not sure if any were higher.
