Hmm. I'm waiting to see what the iPhones are like. I sense trouble brewing.

#13If time travel existed, I'd go back and buy me some 1980's Apple stock. I think we just proved time travel can't happen.
I think 1 of 2 things would happen. If someone went back in time and bought stock. It would branch another timeline. Or If someone went back in time and bought stock. The timeline is altered and we would know only that the time owned stock. But then does that mean that the future has already happened and the past exists at the same time as the future and both the future and the past is constantly changing? Omg my hea…
you're forgetting the paradox free fixed timeline thing.
One can go back in time, but he cannot buy stock because he did not in fact buy stock.

#14When I worked at Apple in the mid-90's (BS before Steve) they lost $1B while I was there. I left and moved away because I didn't want to be there when it was sold or went out of business. Exactly one year later Steve came back. Oh well. Being there at the time not one person would have ever thought Apple could be viable much less worth $1T.

#15An honest question, why do people really care about the market capitalisation of a company?
it’s one number that’s easy to get understand.

#18No. It is the first PUBLICALY TRADED company on the US STOCK MARKET to be valued at $1T. There have been many companies that have broken that point in inflation-adjusted and NON-inflation-adjusted valuations. Three big ones are the Dutch East India company, the most valuable company in history, Standard Oil, the most valuable US company ever, and Saudi Aramco, the current, most valuable company. I've seen to many articles claiming this today, so I rage wrote this on mobile.

One can go back in time but he cannot displace the air atoms where he appeared because he did not displace the atoms in the first place.

Because investing has become integral in personal finance and market cap gives an estimate of a company's value, room to grow, etc.
