Market cap update - 6 months later.

[Unspeaked]

Last summer there was a Page One story on Apple passing Google in market cap. You can see the thread here.

Three months later, when the market was still in the beginning stages of its free-fall, I recalculated the market caps to see how much they'd fallen. You can see that three here.

Now that another three months have passed, I figured I'd painfully calculate the market caps of these companies again and see how they're doing.

Here goes:


- Microsoft (MSFT) - $255,648,204,000
September: $247b
November: $185b
Now: $160b

- IBM (IBM) - $169,964,678,000
September: $159b
November: $115b
Now: $119b
Gain Since November: $4billion It actually went up!

Cool. Funny the market cap of Apple is higher than HP or Intel.

What does that number represent?

That's the valuation from when MacRumors first posted the Page One story in August 2008.
