Hmm, what's going on here? Is it optimism over Apple's rising market share, or maybe this?

According to market chatter, Apple is set to announce a deal with Google calling for Google to offer Apple's iTunes music store through its own site.

Earlier in the spring, when I was looking to invest in Apple, some analysts were predicting $51 per share by year end. At this pace, they might just get there! They need something strong in the holiday wish list category like the iPod has been in recent past.

Caris analyst Mark Stahlman upgraded Apple's shares to above average from average in a report Monday, saying the company will soon roll out a series of upgraded computers and other products. While other computer makers have had trouble garnering interest for their high-end offerings, Apple's updated computers will likely stand out, he said in a research note.

Hmmm. That explains it. I looked at Macs, too expensive. I looked at Best Buy's non-Macs, too expensive. I looked at Dells, priced right. So I bought one. Nice machine. (Their stock just rose by 0.0000001%.)

Oh, and every piece and part says, "Made in China," except for the mouse pad. ;*)

Why, thank you Frank. I own stock in Dell Computer also. ;-)

Glad I could help.

Now I can visit Art Bell's bloated site to get my daily news and report back here at Area 51. I should check the coast to coast website as well.
