Google Stock Shoots over $700 a Share

Between the iPhone 5 and a skyrocketing market cap, all eyes are on Apple these days as the most important tech company in the world. But that doesn?t mean that rival

Google isn?t having a perfectly nice day as well ? the company?s stock price passed $700 today, and is currently sitting at around $709 (even if the market cap pales in comparison to Apple?s).

Like Apple, Google?s recent triumphs have to do with hardware ? the Nexus tablet has been doing well recently, though the Android-powered Samsung phones just took a major hit in the courtroom. Amazon?s Kindle Fire is about to make the tablet market even fiercer, but Google is still in a strong position going forward.

Mashable notes that the last time Google made it up this high was back in 2007 ? also that these particularly high prices won?t last forever, because shareholders recently approved a stock split that will halve the value and double the quantity of Google stock overall.
