“Shares of Apple Inc. [AAPL] rose in Friday premarket trading, after a Piper Jaffray analyst said he expected the company to sell 45 million iPhones in fiscal 2009,” The Associated Press reports.
MacDailyNews Note: AAPL is currently trading up $2.18 at $142.18 in pre-market trading.
“Analyst Gene Munster raised his price target to $205 from $160, expecting robust sales of the iPhone to significantly boost earnings,” AP reports.

Michael Patterson reports for Bloomberg, “‘A tidal wave is coming in 2009,’ Minneapolis-based analysts Gene Munster and Michael Olson wrote in a report published today. ‘One thing we learned with the iPod is that when a device is game-changing, the demand will come.'”

We’re not so sure why everyone’s so excited about the 45 million iPhones in 2009 prediction since Munster’s been saying that since at least early June. Regardless, let the $200+ target prices flow forth as the rest of Wall Street finally begins to figure out and believe what’s happening with Apple.
That is just unfathomable.
Poor, poor Laura Goldman.
Holy Cow!
Stone the Crows!
Well, i’ll be jiggered!
That takes the cookie!!
Yes, it took the words right out of my mouth!
If AAPL hits $200 we should pool our resources and take out a full page ad in the Wall Street Journal with the Goldman quote, followed by the current price of AAPL.
…but the reality is, I think we should be concerned about the broader market. AAPL isn’t likely to stumble by itself, but rising oil prices or even a terror attack in the US could sink it easily.
That’s it …. I am going to commit suicide.
I am waiting for the day that MDM posts an article with the title “More Blood on the Multi-Touch Screen.”
Good times for sure.
Wow, what a surprise. Last night, AAPL closed down almost $1. Today it’s up over $2. Last night’s drop was in reaction to GOOG’s earnings. GOOG is down over 6% so far.
heh. and out in California … the earth is quaking in anticipation of the opening bell ..
Nice touch.

Alright everybody, calm down. Take a deep breath. Okay. First of all we’ve got 2 preposterous notions going on here:
1. AAPL is going to push $200? Are you kidding me? AAPL is overpriced by about $130 at its current state. Allow me to mention two words which will bring AAPL crashing down: Zune Phone.
2. Macromancer says there could be a terror attack in the U.S. Hey Macromancer haven’t you been listenting to the news? Can MACs even get on the internet so you Apple lemmings can be informed? The President of the United States has said over and over that we are winning the war on terror which means we are winning the war on terror. End of story. It’s unpatriotic to question what the President in the U.S. is doing, so DON’T!
BTW Great job, GWB! Keep up the great work!
Your potential. Our passion.™
WOWWWWW CHECK THIS OUT, Microsoft Copies the mac Universal Symbol!!!

In other news Apple shareholders just downgraded their retirement age from 72.5 to 50…
Microsoft copying…now that isn’t news.
iPhone is going to be much, much bigger than the iPod…
I predict 25m+ in 2008. And that means that 200 price will come in Q2 2008.
The Ohio Players tune “Fopp” expresses my emotions perfectly. Go to iTunes and listen to the sample. One of the best Funk tunes EVER!
What are you talking about we just downgraded the retirement age from 50 to 40

I subscribe the the Law of Contrary Presidential Opinion. If Bush is saying one thing, then I say bet the other way.
lmao but its hilarious, they cant ever come up with thier own ANYTHING. =( poor windows….
Macromancer,
It’s a good thing that Kerry didn’t win, then, because during his campaign, he took both sides of every issue
do i smell a political debate brewing!?
muwhahahhahahahahahaha.
Hey Zuny,
Have you thought of of auditioned for SNL?
Don’t!!!

I don’t have a problem with taking both sides of every issue.
I do have a problem with consistently taking the wrong side and perpetuating mistakes over and over with harmful and dangerous consequences.
this debate is weeeeaaaaak.
throw stones like you mean it.
And to think – it wasn’t all that long ago – when one couldn’t pay an analyst enough – to say anything good about Apple – how time manages to change all things…
Tipping Point®. Just sayin’.
@New Guy,
“In other news Apple shareholders just downgraded their retirement age from 72.5 to 50…”
Now if I could only downgrade my biological age the same amount — sigh.
