Apple’s market cap touched $5 trillion today, only the second company (after Nvidia) to reach this lofty milestone. It came after Apple briefly reclaimed the “most valuable company” crown from Nvidia last week.

Stocks go up and down, and things may be different tomorrow, but I thought it was worth a moment of reflection today.
