Is Apple Going To $500?

Apple (AAPL) has been on absolute tear recently. Investors are buying
the tech darling stock hand over fist. In the last two months the shares
have surged nearly 30% from the August lows.
Now, you may not think a 30% move is a big deal.
After all, a 30% move for a $20 stock can happen quite easily. But
believe me, a 30% move for a $240 stock in just under two months is
simply amazing. Those who got in on the surge are sitting on some hefty
profits.
And some investors say the surge in AAPL is far from over…

Where Can You Turn $300 Into $1.3 Million Right Now?
Our own small-company specialist, Robert Morris, has found a
way to 'sniff out' tiny penny stocks on the verge of a major breakout. And
the timing for this has never been better.
You see, the system takes advantage of an obscure SEC regulation that
sends penny stock prices through the roof.
We've seen some stocks gain 852%... 5,450%... even 17,496% in no time
flat.

They’re convinced Apple products are taking over the world. In
fact, one analyst recently put a $500 price target on AAPL. That’s over
50% higher than current levels!
This brave analyst cited an expanding market for Apple’s hardware,
content, and services. He calculates the total addressable market for
their products has grown to over $1.5 trillion.
I would have to agree…
The quality and desirability of their products are setting a high
standard in the computer market. Of course, prices for Apple products
are a bit steeper than competitors. But by looking at AAPL’s record 4th
quarter revenues of $20.3 billion, many are willing to pay the price.
I’ll admit, I’m a Mac geek…
I bought an Apple computer a couple of years ago.
After using it, I think the Apple hardware along and the operating
system are second to none. Now I won’t say my Mac experience has been
flawless. But it’s been way better than any other computer I’ve owned.
I love Apple’s top-notch technical support and their easy to use
products. To me it’s well worth the additional cost. A few extra bucks
now means a lot less headaches down the road.
But can shares of AAPL really rise another 50% from here?
Currently AAPL is trading just under the all time high of $319 set two
days ago. This means the only overhead technical resistance is that
recent high.
Take a look…
Once this minor overhead resistance is out of the way, AAPL may move to
the upside quickly. As unlikely as it may seem, there’s no technical
reason for Apple not to rise to $500. You see, when a stock has no
overhead resistance it tends to rise more freely.
But let’s not get ahead of ourselves…
Right now AAPL is severely overbought.
And the shares fell sharply after reporting earnings on Monday
afternoon. Why would a stock sell off after such a spectacular quarter?
Well, expectations were very high for AAPL ahead of earnings. The
earnings sell-off was a knee jerk reaction due to weaker than expected
margins and i-Pad sales. After rising 30% in a matter of months,
investors were quick to book profits.
But the sell off may only be temporary…
Buyers stepped back in to pick up shares on the cheap Tuesday morning. And with nice support levels at $300 and $295, AAPL may be setting new
highs in short order.
The bottom line is this…
As amazing as it may sound, I won’t argue the analyst with the $500
price target. As expensive as AAPL shares are, it still has plenty of
upside potential. And right now the shares have a lot of upward
momentum…
• Gold ($1332 an ounce)
Gold underwent a major correction yesterday as the US Dollar reversed
higher. Gold shed more than $36 or 2.6% to close at $1,332 an ounce. The
yellow metal is now 4% off the all time high of $1,387.10 it hit on
October 14th.
