Tech stocks typically have to break significant price milestones or have dramatic dips to make CNET’s news story queue. Likewise, we try not hop on the Apple rumor bandwagon unless there’s something credible or/and novel to report.
But being as it’s Christmas Eve and all, we’ll go out on a limb and offer you this nugget anyway. Apple’s stock closed Thursday at an all time high of $209.04, up 6.94 points (3.43 percent) in a shortened day of trading on unconfirmed rumors that the company might unveil a long-awaited portable tablet computer next month.
The Apple blogosphere went wild Wednesday following several reports that the company told some of its key developers to prepare versions of their iPhone apps that will work on a device with a larger screen, in time for an event next month.
Looks like a Merry Christmas for those of you who own Apple stock.

Be interesting to see what happens should Jobs ever die.

Apple isn’t mere steak, it’s filet mignon.
Gossip has been floating for a couple of years and seemed to be confirmed maybe two or three weeks back.
Just make sure you sell before the keynote.
In my family we got not one, but two new macs for Christmas. It’s hard to be sad when an apple falls from the tree. 🙂
