Smith Barney upgrades AAPL


has upgraded its rating on Apple to Buy, despite yesterday's news that Apple's next iMac won't be ready until September. Smith Barney is maintaining a $37 12-month price target for the stock. "Catalysts between now and year-end include the launch of iPod mini in Europe in July, download data updates from the recent launch of iTunes Music Store in Europe, iPod orders from new partner HP beginning in July, volume shipments of the new PowerMac G5 in 3CQ, the launch of the new flat panel iMac late in 3CQ and, finally, the opening of additional retail stores in Europe," the firm's research note reads. "We would be aggressive buyers on this morning's weakness."

    Stunning

    I continue to be stunned by the analysts today. How did they all of a sudden figure it out when it comes to Apple after all these years???

    It's the same old adage.

    ...buy on rumors, sell on news.

    Analysts

    Analysts are just a bunch of 6 years old freaky girls. Anything irrelevant happens, shares go down for no reason.

    It looks like people at Smith Barney are smarter than analysts at other financial companies. They rely on facts and are able to determin a course of action. And let's not forget Tiger on the way. It will only come later in 2005 but it looks very promising. Check out the keynote if you haven't yet.
