Apple Surpasses Dell's Market Value

bonch writes "Nine years after Michael Dell said he'd shut down Apple and give the money to the shareholders, Apple has passed Dell in market value, at $72,132,428,843 compared to Dell's $71,970,702,760. Analysts expect Apple to continue to outperform competitors, citing 2006 as 'poised to be the year of both iPod growth and, more importantly, Mac market share gains,' with earnings growing more than 35%. I should have bought stock two years ago!" We talked about the approach of this moment back in November of last year.

I don't know - but Jobs clearly has something he doesn't (apart from the emotional attachment to Apple).
Correct, he has charisma. I couldn't pick Michael Dell out of a lineup if my life depended on it, yet I went out of my way to follow the Jobs keynote online the other day. That's the difference.
