Apple stock

iRICH: Apple stock hit an all-time high of $100.77 today, report CNN Money and other financial sources (the prior record share price of $700 was subject to a split in June that turned that price to $100.53 per share). The new uptick, analysts say, reflects big confidence not only in upcoming hardware like the new iPhone and the smart-house Nest suite but also Cupertino's recent big acquisitions, the splashiest of which, of course, was Beats. Speaking of the latter, Beats Music information has been integrated into Shazam along with other streaming sources, it was reportedly recently.
