Tech Giants Apple and Google Hit All Time Highs

Friday, August 17th can be considered a historic event in the tech sector with both Apple (AAPL) and Google (GOOG) closing at their all time highs. AAPL finished the trading session closing at 648.11 +1.85% breaking a previous high of 644 in April and GOOG at 677.14 +.63%. The trend hints for more room for growth. Some analysts anticipate that AAPL still has 10% to the upside to bring it above the $700 mark by the year’s end.

AAPL is set to announce a series of revised product launches on Sept. 12, 2012. Investors are speculating significant advances in the Iphone 5 as well as a fresh update to the Ipod line up. Rumor still lingers on the idea of an Ipad mini and an Apple branded TV.

Disclosure: In one of my previous articles it was mentioned that breaking major levels of technical resistance was critical and gave a nice indication for a rally. I am long AAPL trading the weekly and monthly options with deep in the money bull call spreads.
