Apple continued to regain strength today in another strong trading day. In a broad rally, Apple rose almost 5% to close at 64 9/16, a gain of 2 27/32 or 4.61%.

Apple was not alone in the plus column though as Adobe, Macromedia, and Symantec all showed strong gains. Adobe gained more than 4 5/8 to close up more than 4%. Apple's AIM partners also closed higher. Motorola also closed up more than 4 points, a gain of 5%, while IBM closed with a more modest gain. On the Dark Side, Intel, Microsoft, and Gateway 2000 all closed in positive territory. Hewlett-Packard and Compaq closed in the red. The Dow and the Nasdaq joined the individual stocks in the plus column. The Dow closed at 10401.23, a rise of 128.23, while the Nasdaq closed at 2795.97, a strong gain of 59.12.
