Apple Joins the Establishment

I was more than amused when technology analyst superstar, Piper Jaffray?s Gene Munster, put out his own forecast that Apple (AAPL) would reach $1,001. Munster made the call after conducting a survey that showed that 40% of students plan on buying an iPhone in the next 6 months, while 19% of non-tablet owners plan on purchasing a tablet in the next 6 months.The shares responded by immediately running up to a new all-time high of $632.

For my own prediction of this target, you have to reach back 18 months, when it first breached $300 (click here for the piece). With the establishment now jumping on the bandwagon, is this an indicator of a short term trading top in the sought after stock? Those deep out of the money short dated Apple puts are starting to look more interesting by the day.
