Bob, $3.59 fifty miles north.

And if you're ever looking for a new breakfast place near you try Jelly Café in Mt. Prospect off Golf Rd. My friend who owns Agio's daughter and son-in-law just opened it and it's purported to be excellent.

If defined by market capitalization (price per share times shares outstanding) WalMart is still behind both XOM and Apple.

I remember when Apple first took over XOM before falling back some MSNBC reporter said the State owned oil company in Saudi Arabia was worth 20 times more than Apple.
