Shares of APPLE up 22% this year alone.

posted on Feb 11, 2012 07:03PM

Shares of Apple are up 22% this year alone. The stock ended the day at $493.17, up $16.49 or 3.46%.

The market cap, at $459.82B, is worth more than Google (NASDAQ: GOOG), Goldman Sachs (NYSE: GS), GM (NYSE: GM) , Ford (NYSE: F), Starbucks (NASDAQ: SBUX), and Boeing (NYSE: BA) combined.

Furthermore, the company's market cap is 52 times greater than that of RIM (NASDAQ: RIMM). Some of the top investment firms have declared they have sold some of their position in AAPL because it is starting to take up too much percentage of their investment assets.

Just today alone, the stock added $18 Billion in market cap at one point today. That is more than Riverbed, Polycam, etc. combined. The stock is making major moves and this company is now the largest in terms of market cap on the S&P 500.

There is an Apple event declared for the first week of March. Speculation is that there is going to be a product lunch or perhaps a dividend declaration. The typical pattern is that the stock ramps up into a product launch and pulls back afterwards.
