Breaking: Apple Shares are at $300

Shares of Apple hit a new all-time high this morning, now reaching over the $300 mark. Apple is now valued at $274 billion. This is more than Intel, Hewlett Packard and Google and puts Apple just below the world’s largest company, Exxon Mobil which is currently valued at $329 billion.

Just over a year ago when Steve Job’s Health was in question and before iOS4, iPhone and iPad sales went throught the roof, the stock was only valued at $80 per share.
