AAPL Plays Kissyface with $200

December 22nd, 2009 at 3:42 PM - Apple Stock Watch by Bryan Chaffin

Shares in Apple Inc. danced with $200 per share Tuesday, playing tag with that price throughout the trading day. In early afternoon trading, the stock was trading at $200.02, a gain of $1.79 (+0.90%) on light volume. The gains come amidst renewed rumors of an Apple TV subscription TV service from Apple, as well as a continued tech rally.

Apple's record closing high is $207 per share, set on November 17th, 2009. The $200 level is considered a resistant point, or "psych area," as Briefing.com put it on coverage today.
