Analyst's Upgrade Sparks Gains for Apple
Excerpt from the InvestorGuide.com Stock of the Day on 5/26/2009

Since there were few earnings reports on this first trading day since the Memorial Day holiday, many investors instead looked to economics reports and analysts opinions to get a read on the markets. The jump in consumer confidence prompted stock prices to rise for many retail companies, including Best Buy (BBY: Charts, News, Offers) and Macy's (M: Charts, News, Offers). And while this reaction is expected, more surprising was the strong reaction to one analyst's rating change for Apple Inc.

Surprisingly, this never gets to seem old for most people. Apple is sure to get a lot of press over the next few days, but should you be impressed and push the stock higher? More >

With online movie rentals so new, will Apple be able to make the deal work and attract the rest of Hollywood?
