Nice little late day bump there...

Nine years ago, the stock was $7 a share.

NINE YEARS. A thousand shares then and you'd be 7/10ths of the way to being a millionaire, just SITTING on them. 

 

Has any company in the history of the world ever done this?

My family has shares dating back in the 80's. We were involved in the Apple Reseller world, so we kept them through the good times and the dark times. Let's just say it's treating them very well today and have still yet to sell them.

Our financial planners still cringe when they see my portfolio, 100% Apple. I always tell him, unless you have a stock lined up that can generate me 400%+ return then I'll just stick to my own portfolio management :)

Only wish I had gone by my instincts and ONLY purchased AAPL when I bought my first stocks. There is nothing in my very broad portfolio that has performed as well, or as consistently.

"Apple stock hits $700 for first time"

When? Your screenshot and the Yahoo AAPL quote page both show AAPL didn't break through $700 during trading today. The highest it got was $699.80.

It's over $700 in after-hours trading, however. But that doesn't count ;-)

After hours. I'll see if I can drum up another one.

I just spare myself that conversation. When I consolidated my 401ks into a Roth IRA about 12-18 months ago, I decided to just move it all into Apple stock. In that time, I've doubled the size of the asset. Meanwhile, my other investments are happy to give me 5-8%. Anyone telling me to change this approach needs to give me a real alternative. The sound of that advice is deafening.

At 2 minutes past 4 it touched $700.22
