Apple, $300: Investors Still Looking Up

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Apple's AAPL approach to $300 brings it close to a $274 billion market cap, second only to Exxon Mobil's XOM $315 billion value as the largest U.S. companies by stock value.

On Monday, for example, Canaccord analyst Mike Walkley raised his price target for Apple by $10, to $366. Helping to drive the Apple gusto is the excitement around the popular iPad. One possible added bonus is Verizon VZ. Long a holdout on Apple products, the No. 1 telco is expected to start selling a Verizon 3G iPad early next year. To read the rest, head over to TheStreet.com
