Apple (AAPL) has without a doubt been on the rally of a lifetime. Splitting multiple times on the way to its current price point, AAPL has made many investors achieve a loftier tax bracket. In a recent BloggingStocks.com article, they ask the question of any Apple Bull investor, when will be the last opportunity to invest in AAPL for $150 per share?
