AAPL shares close up 8 percent


If you bought Apple at its lowest low yesterday, for just over a hundred bucks a share, you'd have made $13 per share back today. That doesn't cover your loss, of course, if you bought at its 52-week highs of just over $200 per share, but if you were a smart shopper yesterday, you got a heck of a deal.

Goldman Sachs analyst David Bailey said that the yesterday's price drop was "overdone" and reiterated his "buy" rating and $200 price target. Citi analyst Richard Gardner also recommended buying, but cut his price target to $170 per share.

"The recent sell off creates an opportunity as we think Apple will outperform our group through the end of the year, driven by iPhone unit upside and a strong product pipeline," said Bailey.

AAPL closed today at 113.71, up 8.45 points, or eight percent from its close yesterday.

Apple market cap passes HP

Back on July 10th I mentioned the likelihood that Apple's market capitalization might soon surpass that of the original Silicon Valley success story, Hewlett-Packard. (I also implied that both Steves once worked at HP; apparently Woz was full-time, but S. Jobs was more of a summer intern.) Well, as of this morning Apple's total value comes out to about $127 billion, and HP is at about $124 billion. If this holds through the close, it will mark a generational torch passing into the hands of the future... or something like that.

Who's next on the market cap hit list? Well, believe it or not, dear readers, that mom & pop semiconductor basement operation Intel has a valuation around $141 billion; not out of the realm of possibility, if some of the more glowing, write-Apple's-name-on-your-trapper-keeper analyst predictions ($200 a share? $250?) become real.
