OK, so even remembering that announcing a new technology product isn’t the same as actually putting a working product into the market (as Microsoft (MSFT) and Intel (INTC) have proved over the years), but this announcement from Amazon (AMZN) is still a very big...

Well, why not? Shares of Amazon (AMZN) were down as much as 7.4% after Axios reported that President Donald Trump is “obsessed” with regulating the company and has discussed changing the way the company collects (or doesn’t) sales tax. The stock...

The big questions for Apple (AAPL) won’t be answered until this fall when investors get to see the new iPhone (and see how hot or not it is) and learn whether or not Apple’s suppliers are indeed having trouble manufacturing key components such as the OLED...

Let’s try to put together a few events from last week into a coherent (or, if that’s too much to hope, at least a semi-coherent) explanation for where the equity market stands now. What events, you ask? How about Friday’s report on second quarter GDP...

Today was a big earnings day and four of the bellwether stocks reporting beat Wall Street expectations on earnings for the first quarter. Will those beats be enough for the market tomorrow or will we get a sell on the good news reaction? Here are the results, the...
