An all-time intraday high for Apple stock

What goes up must keep going up apparently: Apple's stock hit an new, intraday high today of US$320.18 and is trading up $6.24, or 1.99%, as of this writing. These numbers knock out Apple's previous intraday record of $319.00, set just a little while back on October 18, 2010.

Apple's survival of the USA's economic downturn has been almost supernatural. In the past few months, we've seen Apple grab nearly 50 percent of handset industry profits, post its first $20 billion quarter, break $300 in the stock market, surpass Microsoft's market cap and set record after record after record.

And it all started with two geeks in a garage.
