Tech stocks acting like they’re good to rally to the end of the year
I'm using my Volatility Portfolio pick Cirrus Logic (CRUS) as an indicator of the trend in technology stocks--particularly chip stocks--through the end of 2019. And right now that indicator is pointing up. On November 1, the company's shares jumped to $72.43 from...

On Apple, Wall Street says, Wait ’til next year
The new products Apple (AAPL) introduced today aren't bad. The successors to the iPhone XR, iPhone XS, and iPhone XS Max add more cameras, a faster chip (on the iPhone 11 successor to the XR), and longer battery life. It's just that none of these new features are...
Saturday Night Quarterback says, For the week ahead expect…

Apple sketches in September product launches–will they be enough?
