Apple is the new GE!

Apple is #1 in profitability in each of its businesses.

The 3G iPhone is coming, the Mac is moving into the enterprise, the iPod touch is raising the ASP (Average Selling Price) of the iPod family, and Apple TV, an Apple "hobby," is setting new standards in family video.

No doubt about it AAPL is best of breed and it was just oversold when it was in the 120's early this year.I do not forsee it stopping anytime soon the momentum is on it's side upward.To get your Apple stuff and anything else your heart desires for wholesale prices please visit:
