Apple Overtakes ExxonMobile for Most Valuable U.S. Company

What are people buying more of today: oil or technology? Well, by the looks of the stock market, it seems more people are buying gadgets than gas.

For the first time, Apple took the top spot in the stock market, beating out ExxonMobile by nearly $6 billion dollars on Wednesday. Exxon has had the top spot in the market since 2005, while Apple reached the number two spot just last year when it surpassed its competitor Microsoft.

The victory in the stock market is a milestone for the company, which has made an incredible comeback since the 90s. Back then, Apple was just barely struggling to get by. That all changed when Steve Jobs took over and brought the company back up to the giant we know today.

It's no surprise that Apple finally made it to the top. It's products have been flying off the shelves pretty much non-stop. When you look around, everyone has an iPhone or an iPad or some other kind of Apple product. The company has become pretty much unstoppable, and even with how crazy the market is right now, I think Apple will stay number one for quite a while.
