With Apple stock at an all-time high, thanks to its stellar Q2 2010 figures, maybe it's time for you to become an analyst and calculate how high the company's share price could go.
There's an easy way to do it too.
Wisdom of crowds-inspired website - or as it's self-styled - 'meaningful financial community' - Tretis provides some neat gizmos so you can play around with future hardware sales and margins etc and automatically calculate your own APPL target share price.
Up, up and Apple
At the moment, Tretis' experts reckon Apple's target price is $294, compared to today's rate of $258.
Its estimate breaks down to be 48 percent due to iPhone, 17 percent from Mac computer sales, 8 percent from Apps (technically the iAd advertising platform, which is still to launch), and 4 percent from iPad.
