Apple Inc's worth

An interesting article on CBC.com re Apple Inc's value.

That is a LOT of Tim's coffee!!! :eek::eek::D

"Apple Inc. reached a record value on the stock market Wednesday, surpassing $500 billion US.

That gives Apple:
About twice the market capitalization of Canada’s big five banks put together.
More than three times the value of the Canada Pension Plan.
33 times what the oil industry invested in the oilsands last year.
245 times the worth of the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Enough value to buy 273,000,000,000 large Tim Hortons coffees.

And while it's not quite enough to pay off Canada’s federal debt, it would put a big dent in it, reducing the red ink by 86 per cent."

I found these two points amazing --

"About twice the market capitalization of Canada’s big five banks put together.
More than three times the value of the Canada Pension Plan."

Re the point that they are "245 times the worth of the Toronto Maple Leafs", if the Leafs win the Stanley Cup this year they would be worth about as much as Apple Inc. We shall see.
