Responding to Chris Belands, Apple Worth a half trillion dollars.

Do you think they will sustain thier growth further? or do you think they will slip back down like the other 4 companies that reached that half trillion market cap? Apple has grown very big very fast. They have had many great products and features to please the market. Since the passing of Steve Jobs and the transplant of a new CEO apple seems to be doing O.K. They have the market in the best products lap tops and Ipods which are the best of the best. It will be interesting to see how well they hold in the future, my question is how many more products can Apple produce that the market will go crazy over and buy at the most expensive price. I think well find Apple to keep competing in the market and will always hold good market share. They make great products that many people like. I don't know what they will produce next but it will have to be good to keep us buying. 

Gas Climbs For 20th Day. At a National high of $3.70 a Gallon.

Only a month ago the national average for a gallon of gasoline was $3.41. But it is more then $4 a gallon in some spots like Alaska and Hawaii. Most gas prices are just under $4 dollars in Connecticut and Washington D.C. and the lowest prices are in Wyoming and Colorado with $3.20 a gallon. Its amazing to see how just a hick hop in the middle east can cause such chaos he for us on the United States. The gas prices have been rising on the back of the oil prices, which have risen nearly 10% in the last month due to the tension in Iran and the tightening of supply. The rising of economy and stock market have also played a major role in the rising oil prices. With all the tension of rising gas prices, many politicians are speaking out on how they would lower gas prices. Newt Gingrich stated in a debate "he would get gas prices down to $2.50 a gallon" this sure sounds nice Newt but good luck implementing such a thing. Newt who is struggling to stay in this political game will say anything he needs to gain a vote. With the rising gas price would you change you driving habits? Buy a car thats better on gas efficiency? During the spring and summer months I drive the yellow smart car that you see in my blog profile. Its a great little car and sure starts a controversy in a minute. people yell out "are you scared of me" as they drive by in there Toyota Tundras. What do you think of Smart Cars?
