Apple shares hit a new height. MacO-S-Kinn.

Apple shares hit a new height, a big week for Apple and China, and telling tales of Two

Steve's.

It's Friday, October 24, 2014.

news of apple's record fourth quarter and the practically unbridled exuberance with which

the new line of iPhones is being greeted around the world

finally seems to have caught on with Wall Street.

After a bumpy couple of weeks, Fortune says Apple shares closed at a new all-time high on Thursday.

shares ended the day up a buck 84, or 1. Thursday. Multiply that by 7 to adjust for the 7 for 1 stock split Apple enacted earlier this year and that puts the value at $733.81.

Painting an even prettier picture for the company and its shareholders was Fortunes, Philip Elmer DeWitt.

He pointed out that the company's shares are up 7.2% for this week and 50% from April of 2013 the cruelest month when it dipped into the high 300s.

The piece only gets more impressive after that.

Elmer DeWitt goes on to point out that Apple is now not

only the world's most valuable public company but it has left the nearest

contenders in the dust. He then lists the top four market caps. At number four is Google with a market cap of

three hundred sixty nine billion dollars. Microsoft is number three with a market cap of

371 billion. Exxon is the second most valuable company on the planet with a market

cap of 401.4 billion dollars. Then you can grab a nap on the way to number one because it is so far away from the rest.
