——– UPDATE: At 8:26 AM EST we have FNM up 23% at $1.29 on over 3.2 million pre-market shares and FRE is up 25% at $1.58 on over 1.13 million shares.

Apple’s New Highs, Again… (AAPL)

Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL) is continuing a run to new highs.  The ‘old-new’ 52-week trading range was $78.20 to $209.35.  Thursday’s close was at $209.04.  At 8:31 AM EST we have shares trading up another 1% at $211.27 on 180,000 shares in the pre-market.  That might not be an unbelievable volume alert, but the fact that this is back at all-time highs and that the 180,000 shares makes it one of NASDAQ’s most active in the pre-market make this representative of the alert here. -JON OGG
