It is indeed the first time Apple has been above $50 per share since the fall of 2000. Still, on a price to sales basis, AAPL sells at about a 20% discount to Dell. This means there's move for upward movement in the price. If Apple can execute well with all lines and push iPod shipments close to 3 million units this quarter, $60 per share is quite possible.

We follow Apple's finances in the Apple Finance Board forum.
