Apple shares hit $644 in morning trading,up 1.2 percent from Monday’s close. At that price,the entire company is worth $600.4 billion. By midday,the shares had retreated to $638.64,up 0.4 percent from the day before,putting the value below $600 billion again. Microsoft holds the record at $619 billion,set in 2000. Today,Microsoft’s value is about $260 billion. It’s all the more noticeable because stocks on the main exchanges fell yet again in response to poor U.S. job numbers last week,and continued concerns over the European debt crisis.
