Update on Apple Suppliers: 'Mind Your Stops!'

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Everyone who owns Apple (AAPL) shares has been celebrating as the share price hit another all-time high on Tuesday above $701. Congratulations are in order for the brave believers like Jim Cramer.

Apple, according to Piper Jaffray and its research team led by Gene Munster, has the ability to sell six to 10 million iPhone 5s during this coming weekend's launch. That would equate to a 100% year-over-year growth from Apple's iPhone 4S launch. Piper thinks Apple will issue a press release on Monday regarding sales over the weekend.

The other happy group of investors are those who've been buying shares of three well-run companies that supply AAPL with the smart-chips and other essential technologies to make the iPhone and the iPad work so famously.

Broadcom (BRCM) , which recently peaked on Sept. 14 at $37 a share, Qualcomm (QCOM) and Cirrus Logic (CRUS) have all seen their share price move up very nicely in the past few months.
