Apple shares are currently trading for between $161 and $162, eclipsing the $160 mark for the first time ever and setting a new all-time intraday high. The nearly 2 percent rise in Apple's stock price gives the company a market valuation of around $835 billion on its path to becoming a trillion dollar company.

Those Apple employees who are due a fixed number of shares will be happy about this!
I'm happy about this, and I don't work there. I guess the pundits here on MR who claimed that Apple's on the ropes and Tim is leading the company into oblivion because of the lack of a new Mac Mini might not be expert CEOs in waiting after all.Pretty sure I'm doing better than Warren Buffet at this whole stocks thing.
(Of course, I'm basically just gambling, so I only have $533 worth of stocks that I personally manage. One stock of AAPL. One stock of TSLA. Feels better to own them than to say, "Darn, I knew that'd happen, I should have bought some stock.")
