What's more, the Fed continues to pump in new money at a rate of $40 billion per month. Much of the Fed's new money has found its way to institutional investors through the interbank market. These institutional investors have, in turn, allocated more money to Apple shares. The question is, has Apple attracted more investor interest because of its fundamentals or because there is so much new money that Apple's size makes it the most viable outlet? This is a difficult question to answer, and that heightens uncertainty. Apple's impending iPad Mini launch might yet be another hit, but recent price action in Apple shares suggests consumer fatigue might be setting in. If that's the case, Apple investors could see their shares finally break loose from that high branch. More From Wyatt Investment Research
