You and me both. Just imagine the people who bought Apple stock back years ago when they were struggling and hung onto it.

I think it's worth quoting the following from the article:
That, and a dip in Wal-Mart's (WMT) share price, made Apple — if only briefly — America's third largest company by market capitalization, after Exxon (XOM) and Microsoft (MSFT) and ahead of Wal-Mart and Berkshire Hathaway (BRK-A).

The fact that Apple "achieved" the status of 3rd most valuable company (in one country mind you) is only temporary. Now, don't get me wrong, I do enjoy seeing Apple do well but I think it's important to note that stock prices fluctuate constantly and price can go down just as easily. I think the word choice is appropriate - surge. Surge implies temporary ;).

Sure looks like I like playing devil's advocate doesn't it?
