Look, it happens over and over again. Nothing new about it.
To give Apple more value than Exxon Mobile with its holdings of oil and gas which are going to continue to be valuable until some real "long count" ends is a farce.
There is that old saying, "a fool and his money are soon parted." It is both old and it is new.
