AAPL hits $140, 62% jump since Jobs took leave

Apple CEO Steve Jobs is yet to return from his medical leave, but things look mighty strong for Apple. The iPhone / App Store / Macs all are doing great and the company still posts record numbers Q after Q even in recession times.

Apple stock has bounced back from lows of $90 per share to $140 today, a 62% jump! Steve Jobs is said to be the heard of Apple, but his team has proved it that even without his active presence they can sustain the amazing growth. Apple is all set to reveal the next gen iPhone, new Mac OS and more @ WWDC 09 in a weeks time. This would be a landmark moment for Apple and its competitors might well be feeling the shivers already :P.
