Il retirement of Steve Jobs, announced on August 24, did not disturb Apple's stock market, quite the contrary. In just over three weeks (August 24 to Friday, September 16), Apple stock rose 7,2 percent. “Impressive!” underline the analysts, who could not bet on a better result.
And the luck of the Apple continues this week too: yesterday its shares exceeded 411 dollars, marking the new all-time record in a day that closed again in sharp declines for Wall Street. Apple's market value soared to more than $380 billion, outpacing that of fuel super-giant Exxon, which fell to $353 billion.
