Apple Stock ($AAPL) Up 50% So Far This Year

Apple is hot. I'm not talking about the temperature of the new iPads, I'm talking about its stock. At around 3pm ET today, Apple traded at a new all-time intraday high $609.65 a share, up more than 50% for the year. The stock finished 2011 at $405 and closed today at $602.50, up nearly $200 a share (+48.77%) year-to-date. One share is now worth more than a new 32GB iPad.
