Apple shares (AAPL) reached out its All-Time High to 153.18 at 16:01 Hrs. (EDT) and rising, yet performs uptrends at Extended Hours trading to 153.50 (16:33 Hrs. EDT).

AAPL was staggering at 146~147 level during Pre-Market trading, opened low at 146.82 and get started to jump abruptly to 150 level at 10 a.m (EDT). Although, many investors cash out to take profits at high marks that AAPL is still going strong and outperforming at a concrete level of 149.

AAPL bids on 150.70 at 14:05 Hours (EDT)

I set my short-term SELL signal at 158 level, while the BUY signal at 140 respectively. For mid-term investors that I would suggest AAPL is a BUY & HOLD, while day-trade high rollers are recommended to set a cut-off at 145 level. However, for those long-term investors that I would suggest a BUY rating, AAPL should reach to a relative high level of 180 in December 2007.

Apple shipped 1,610,000 Macintosh® computers and 8,729,000 iPods during the quarter, representing 30 percent growth in Macs and 35 percent growth in iPods over the year-ago quarter.

“This strong quarter caps an extraordinary year for Apple. Selling more than 39 million iPods and 5.3 million Macs while performing an incredibly complex architecture transition is something we are all very proud of,” said Steve Jobs, Apple’s CEO. “Looking forward, 2007 is likely to be one of the most exciting new product years in Apple’s history.”
