Apple shares near $700 following iPhone 5 launch


Apple's stock keeps soaring higher and higher following the unveiling of the iPhone 5 this week.


Shares are now hovering at around $696, up almost 14 points since yesterday's close and within a hair's breadth of the $700 threshold.


The climb began Wednesday during the iPhone event.


Shares started to rise as the event unfolded, reaching $668. Many investors decided to cash in at that point, since the stock fell back down to $657 after the event. But further trading drove the stock up to $669. It jumped still further in after-hours trading.


Yesterday, shares continued their ascent, closing at a record high of $682.98. Reaching new highs today, the stock is within a few points of capturing the $700 mark before day's end.


But will the momentum last?
