In all honesty, I am not someone who watches the market often, but this is a pretty big feat for Apple.
With its stock trading at $218.95 a share when the markets closed Friday, Apple (AAPL) broke into the top five largest U.S. companies by market capitalization, right below Wal-Mart (WMT) and above Berkshire Hathaway (BRK-A).
In the horse race most tech handicappers care about, however, Apple vs. Microsoft, the company has another $50 billion and change to go. Apple would have to hit $276 a share for its market cap to get past what Microsoft’s (MSFT) is today.
