Shares of Apple Computer (AAPL : $72.5801, +$2.5501, +3.64%) are rallying to hit a 4-month high, “and have now gained 42% since closing at a 9-month low of $50.67 on July 14. Analyst Benjamin Reitzes at UBS said he believes Apple will unveil on Sept. 12 ‘a major move into the digital home’ which may have the potential to multiply its revenue streams,” Tomi Kilgore reports for MarketWatch.
“Reitzes said the move could also result in higher sales of Mac computers. Reitzes also reiterated his buy rating on the stock, but raised his price target to $92 from $80,” Kilgore reports.

About time! I was in at $79 in January, and feeling like a chump all year. Didn’t want to sell though, because I knew sooner or later it would come up again.
Take it up to $80.86 again!
It’ll probably split.
Yeah, 80.86 was a freaky close on the day aapl announced it would switch to intel.
Laughing so hard at “Stock Boy” can’t breathe.
Gasping for air.
Stoooooooooock Boooooooooooy???? Where are you Stock Boy? I’m thinking you are stocking the shelves at the local 7-11. Yep, that’s where you are. It was less than 2 months ago when you told us that AAPL was heading to $40. Luckily, I knew you were a contraindicator and I bought more stock down in the low $50s! I hope for your sake that you didn’t know how to short AAPL at that time, because you would have lost over $20 per share by now.
Oh wait, I guess I DO hope you knew how to short, and that you lost your ass.
(Don’t know why I’m writing this – stock boy is not going to show his face back here again.)
Speaking of morons like Stock Boy, what ever happened to “Sputnik”? Remember that “real IT world” troll? Suppose his parole was revoked?
I tried to tell him, but he wouldn’t listen.
Maybe I should tell him that I’m his son too. Maybe he can use what is left of his stock profits and buy me a new scooter.
If I buy 10 shares of AAPL right now…in a few months, I’ll be able to use the profits on a new Mac Pro.
Brilliant.

what was that about selling stuff off and giving back?
who was it that said that?
Hello….
Michael….
seems no one is listening.
First: Zune marketing will hit hard, but Apple is about to deliver a blow Redmond is not ready to handle.
And as our TWiT friends have said “Zune is enough to kill Zune…” Another non-starter from Redmond.
Still, the market will get gittery and question whether MS will take out iPod…
Second: Vista will come at Apple full force, but this will largely be countered by a massive Leopard marketing blitz. Still, Wall St. will worry about Vista’s potential to slow Mac adoption, but will proove out to be largely unfounded.
Third: Apple should shock the market in taking the living room market rapidly away from any Windows Media PC share, and open the arena for mass adoption, much to the shagrin of Hollywood. obviously, this is not a stock consern, but an obvious boost to revenue and profits for Apple.
Fourth: Last but not least, a virtual phone network, with iPhones. Another boost to Wall Steets approval of Apple.
Steven hit it right on. Now is the time to get into AAPL if you are interested. Who wouldn’t be? Lots of exciting stuff coming down from Cupertino here soon.
As Stockboy correctly predicted in Jan-Feb. that Apple would trade in the $65-$70 price zone for at least 6 months.
Yes, Stockboy was right.
Thank you, “Jimbo von Mohammed” and “Vinita BOY” and “Stock Boy’s Illegitimate Child” for bringing my wonderful predictions forward for the crowd to congratulate me on.
Thank you! No, please sit down, a standing ovation is not needed.
Where is G. Thurman who predicted $81 by July 21, 2006? Now there is a boy who bet his pennies wrong.
You amateurs just can´t take it when someone is correct.
Want my new prediction with Apple stock?
Nah….you guys don´t have the money to be in the stock market.
Hint…think Steve´s health.
I can’t give anyone here guidance without disclosures. All I can say is I personally added significantly more AAPL to me and my affiliates portfolios on Tuesday.
Rock on Steve!
MDN ‘Magic Word”: forward as in forward looking statements
“As Stockboy correctly predicted in Jan-Feb. that Apple would trade in the $65-$70 price zone for at least 6 months.”
This is like saying, “I predict a few days will be cloud during the next month.”
Come off it, Stockboy…this was a non-prediction that happened to be coincidentally correct because of its blandness.
You predicted AAPL would be heading to the 40s, but it seems to be moving to the opposite direction. And now that it’s moving so contrary to your predictions, you give a pass at giving us another prediction.
So you have the money to play with stocks? Then put up or shut up instead of giving vague non-predictions that sound like it actually means something, but is full of nothing.

NewType (aka Jimbo) – Wrong you are on all accounts!
While everyone else was rah-rah-rahing Apple to $100…$140, etc. I in Jan./Feb were predicting that when Apple fell from $85 it would stay at its current trading range at the time and not go above the $65-$70 mark for 6 months. I was called all sorts of names and as you can see above the anti-Stockboy crowd still remembers my predictions. And how right I was!
Yeah, new typed, it is easy to predict the right thing when you know what you are doing. The pros always make it look easy. Please….no more applause. And no, I will not be authoring a stock picking book.
I never predicted Apple in the 40s and if so that would be in trading range at the time of its drop from $85. I think Apple went down to just above $50 at one time. (But, “newParts”, just throwing in a little disinformation on your part is cool for you unStockboys. I understand how you can be bitter that you are wrong….again.)
So now you will have to let Jimbo von. M and the others give their fearless, blinders-on, foot in mouth prognostications and be wrong as usual.
But that´s the score with losers – its better to be loud than right!
So stockboy… what’s your prediction? Enough with the past BS… Are you in, or out on AAPL? And if not, what are you investing in, if you don’t mind telling us? I’m always looking for a tip that makes sense. Anything in particular look good to you, if not AAPL. I’m sure there are plenty of stocks with a big upside, I just don’t know what they are, and wouldn’t mind some insight. Thanx.
Stockboy, do you–or do you not–have a current account with a recognized brokerage firm here in the USA?
If you do, and if you are willing to put what little money you have where your cavernous mouth is, I will arrange for my broker to contact yours to compare portfolios, focusing especially on our AAPL holdings, long and/or short term positions.
We will let a neutral third party compare the confirmed assets thereof and report back to the MDN site master whether YOU or I have the larger, more profitable portfolio, especially (once again) when it comes to our involvement with AAPL over the years. (Fair warning: You’d better be able to top 5,600 shares, average price $10.50.)
So, got the cojones, Big Mouth? If you truly believe that I, Jimbo, and others on this site are the “losers” when it comes to this equity, let’s DO IT!
I shall await your response.
Um, hate to correct you, Stockboy, but you most certainly DID predict Apple stock would move to $47 a share a couple of months ago. You play awfully fast and loose with the truth, young man; either that or your memory is terribly suspect. Perhaps less time in the sun?
After persistent rumors of Apple releasing Newton socks, which also fits the feet of grown men, stock went to an all time high, while brokers questioned each other about the real catch here.
