Although there were a few premature announcements earlier this morning, Apple officially became the first publicly-traded corporation to reach a $1 trillion market cap by reaching a brief high share price of $207.05. Shares in AAPL are now bobbling around the $206.88 – $207 range, so the company might not be celebrating its trillion-dollar baby at the end of the day.
As Business Insider noted, “passing the $1 trillion mark means Apple now has a value greater than the gross domestic product (GDP) of all but 27 major countries, including Argentina, the Netherlands, Sweden and Switzerland.”
$1,000,000,000,000
Think about it.
