Apple Market Share Rising

It doesn't matter I said it before, because I will say it again, and this is not the last time - I am not crazy about the share market, but I consider it a very interesting area, and if I find the time, I enjoy checking the evolution of my favorite companies. Why? Good question! Well, I like to know what's happening around me, and the share market is a good indicator, especially since the world seems to be going down these days, but...

...Apple is not a company following too many rules, that's for sure! Don't get me wrong, I am not talking about the way they treat those clone makers or companies making devices called "AirPod," for example, although these devices have nothing to do with Apple's field of expertise. Today I have to tell you about Apple's move against the flow - while most companies' shares are going down, the Cupertino-based company keeps going up!

Before talking about the Apple market share, it is also worth mentioning that Mac presence on the Web went sky high last month, accounting for over 8 percent of all traffic on sites tracked by Net Applications. I know this is not much, but since we're talking about a nearly 5 percent increase when compared to previous month, things seem to look great for Apple, especially because...

... Citi and Goldman Sachs have both denied those claims that Apple may be in danger, saying that strong iPhone and MacBook sales will surely help in keeping Steve Jobs' company on the sunny side of the game. Analysts from both companies mentioned above reiterated their "Buy" recommendations, and this should say it all!

At last, it is also worth being mentioned that 1 out of 5 notebooks purchased in US retail outlets during this back-to-school season was a Mac, more than 35 percent growth, when compared to the same period of the last year.

Seeing Apple market share rising is surely a pleasure for those who own Apple stock already, but I don't think it's too late to go ahead and follow the advice of the analysts from Citi and Goldman Sachs - buy, buy, buy!
