Shares of AAPL have come out of the gate strong this week, approaching the $600 level for the first time in a year Monday before closing up $22 at $594.

Last week, in response to Apple's latest quarterly earnings report, a gaggle of market analysts spoke optimistically about Apple's stock for the first time in months, with several calling for AAPL to make new all-time highs before the end of 2014 (if that is to happen, however, AAPL will need to put on more than $100 from its current price).
