Apple Thoughts: Apple Stock Price Up 31%

"The stock is not what it was in 2007, when it rose nearly 136% in the space of 12 months, but Apple (AAPL) is off to a good start in 2009. From Jan. 2, when it opened at $85.88, to April 2, when it closed at $112.71, Apple has gained 31.24% - easily outpacing the Dow, which is still down more than 9% for the year."

Apple is a bright spot in the dismal Dow news that is for sure. RIM and Google are also up, 21% and 18% respectively but none of the three compares to the jump for Amazon.com, which is up about 48% for the year. Incredible. The "Four Horsemen of Tech" as Cramer calls them are having a pretty good year so far for their investors. Let's see what today brings shall we?
