Shares of Apple Computer (AAPL) are up $1.54 to $26.70 in very heavy early trading with 14,774,540 share volume.
Yesterday, APPL gained $1.24, or 5.18%, at $25.16 in heavier-than-usual-for-AAPL NASDAQ trading on 11,789,828 share volume to set a new 52-week high.
CBS MarketWatch attributes the surge to “a report in USA Today said the company’s new iPod mini digital music player has been a runaway success. The paper said the mini iPod is virtually sold-out.” More info here.

…I knew I should’ve bought Apple stock when it was trading at $18.00. 🙁
Finally, Wall Street perceives the possibility of growth. That’s all they care about. Apple could make iFusion devices that provide cold fusion for $29.95, but if Wall Street doesn’t think there’s growth potential, they won’t care.
Apparently someone thinks that Apple is finally bursting out of its niche.
Yeah… stupid stock. I wish I had some cash on hand to start investing. I hate being a broke college student. :-p Oh well, majoring in 3d-Animation, and a minor in Visual Effects means I get to play w/ a G5 near-say every day >> and while I am, I’m listening to my 10 GB, 2nd Gen iPod.
Yeah. This is the life.
I told you to buy it when it was below $13.
You can buy it now though. It will go up nicely.
i hear ya brianimations, i can barely scrape together the $$ to buy cool apple crap 😀 i’ll get some stock in them at some point i hope.
I bought $1,000 (+/-) of Apple last year at 12 something and am hoping that the growth will fund my next Mac purchase, a G5. If it hits the $29/share range, I can sell and effectively buy a G5 for about the initial investment of $1,000.
Uh, NoPCZone, don’t forget about the government… even though you risked your capital, they believe you owe them a cut of any gains, and they’ve got the power to take it from you.
The wind is turning. This looks strong. Glad my stocks buy price is around ~16$
Still buying…
Somebody sniffing around to buy Apple?….maybe Disney????
$10,000,000,000 is now only a couple of points off. I think it’s all the SUNW shareholders looking for somewhere to hide.
NoPCZone, I hate to break this to you but approximately 84 shares of stock at $29/share is $2417.00 Wait until you have had the stock for more than a year so the capital gains tax drops from 28% to 15%. That way, if you can sell at $29, you net $2204.00 (2417.00 – 1000.00 = 1417.00 x .85 = 1204.00 + 1000.00) and at least have a good chunk toward the G5. Good luck.
iMac G5? I was registering for a free subscription to Macworld with purchase of my Virginian Tech G5 and one of the questions they ask you is what apple products have you bought lately. In the drop down list is iMac G5?? Here is the link if anyone wants to see for themself.

You should all thank me for not buying Apple stock. If I had, it would have taken a nose dive

I’m laughing all the way to the bank.
I bought a bunch at the 52 week low. :o)
if you guys think the stock is performing nicely…have a look at the options. You put up less money and with a 10% stock price move you get a 50% option price move. giddyup
check this impressive growth…

Yee Haw!!!! Bought 250 shares a month ago. Can you say NEW G5!
Woohoo! Bought 2000 a month ago at $22.50, just sold at $27.80 an hour ago. I almost flipped it at $25, yesterday, glad I waited. An easy 20% gain in a month. I was hoping to capitalize on Pepsi and Mini news, and it took longer than I expected, but thankfully it came. I figure the PB screen issue will be a drag on margin next quarter, so I wanted to sell before then.
Now, I have the money for that new G5 I want. Of course, I’ll wait until they release the speedbumped ones.

MDN: Pah-leeeze give me a break from those extra-wide banner ads. Do you know how irritating it is to read a line of post that goes all the way across my Ti-Book?
Martha Stewart guilty. All you guys who bot aapl cheap make sure you have order tickets before you dump!
SONY is buying APPL. Question is will APPL bite?
Just remember that now is not the time to buy.
LOL so not only is RV brilliant, but he buys stock at the bottom and knows how to past post the trade too!
Next time you get stock smart RV post real time so the rest of the club can get aboard. After all it can only help your already acquired “position”.
You are such a friggin insecure loser, the leader of the pack, actually, that it would blow my mind if I had enough left.
