Stocks are higher in early trading to end the week as European finance ministers meet to discuss a debt crisis that threatens to wreak havoc on several countries. Shares of AAPL are up strong on news that we are weeks away from the iPhone 5 launch (see below). Catalysts also include the iPad 3 in the spring of 2012; continued adoption in China and other emerging markets; iCloud / iOS 5 rollout and adoption; the continued evolution and next generation of Apple TV; and new platforms such as mobile advertising (iAd), books / publishing and social (Ping).

Is The iPhone 5 Just Weeks Away... (The New York Times)
We’re just weeks away from the announcement of the new iPhone 5, according to an Apple employee. Today's iPhone chatter was higher than usual after a bunch of iPhone 5 case images sneaked on to the accessory maker Case-Mate's website. The new iPhone will come with an eight-megapixel camera and have a faster A5 dual-core processor. An engineer familiar with the new iPhone said it would be fairly different from the iPhone 4.

...Or Are There Production Delays? (9To5Mac)

Apple Talks LTE Network With World's Largest Carrier (Bloomberg)
