Amazon stock briefly topped $1,000 per share for the first time early this morning, putting its market value at $478 billion or so. It has since dropped back below $1,000/share, but we’ll be watching to see whether it can climb back to the rare four-digit price by close of trading this afternoon. Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos was asked by a shareholder last week whether the company would consider a stock split to make its shares more affordable.
