AAPL up nearly 14% among broad market gains
Shares of Apple stock closed higher today, among a widespread buying spree that pushed the Dow Industrials up a record-breaking 936 points.
AAPL closed at $110.26 per share, an increase of $13.46. Nearly 55 million shares changed hands.
Microsoft, Dell, Google, HP, Sun, and AT&T also posted double-digit percentage gains for the day.
Analyst firm Sanford C. Bernstein upgraded Apple stock to "outperform" this morning, saying the company's short-term prognosis looks good, despite the dip in the market. Bernstein did, however, cut its price target by $50 to $135.
AAPL was up slightly in after-hours trading.

I had planned on buying 10 million shares this morning, but for some reason the "Buy" button wasn't working on my trading software. Well, that's a $134 million profit down the drain. ;)

Apple’s highly popular iPod media players and iTunes digital media store have captured the imagination of music lovers everywhere. Revenue growth at Apple is already starting to slow a bit. This past quarter’s revenue growth has dropped to a still impressive 23% versus the same quarter a year ago.

It would be nice to know when the analyst thinks it will reach $135. I never seem to get dates just predictions on price. Well here is my analysis .... I predict the shares will top $230 sometime in the future and there will be a two for one split and my position is "strong buy"....now can I be paid lots of money for either stating the obvious or getting it completely wrong please.
