You know you’ve got it going on when your stock price is through the roof and people are betting on the unveiling of your next product. Few companies are hotter than Apple and it’s a sure bet they downloaded a ton of cash in the past few weeks leading up to Christmas.

But the holiday season may only be a prelude to a monster 2008 for the company that put an “i” in money. The Macworld Expo is set for Jan. 15-18 in San Francisco and the bets are aplenty.

You can bet on Apple to do the following (or not):

• Announce an iTunes movie rental service
• Reveal plans for a solid state drive-equipped MacBook
• Announce the inclusion of The Beatles in iTunes
• Unveil a 3G compatible iPhone.

There are other Apple bets, as well wagering options on RIM, currently available in the Bodog Sportsbook’s Business and Financial betting page. Visit daily to supplement your equity purchases with wagers on your favorite companies.
