Apple Stocks Five Down Days in a Row: Here’s What to Do Now / Companies / Apple
By: ...
MoneyMorning.com
Keith Fitz-Gerald writes: Apple Inc. (NasdaqGS:AAPL) lost another 3.2% yesterday on more than double the usual volume, making many investors wonder if it’s time to throw in the proverbial towel. It finished the day down 14% from the $133 a share high it set in February, and paper losses now tally $133.4 billion.
To put that in perspective, Apple’s just lost more than McDonald’s, which carries a $95 billion market cap, is worth.
I can’t help but think this is great.

AAPL Breaking Down.... Stock Market Is Not.... / Companies / Apple
By: Jack_Steiman
The stock market is proving once again that the biggest of all leaders can break down, yet still hang in there as the bigger theme of rotation continues onward. Apple Inc. (AAPL) is in very bad shape technically, but the market is hanging very tough. This has happened before when AAPL declined into the upper three hundreds before its split. The stock fell apart but the market did not. AAPL is a drag and isn't helping the market here, but this market has remained resilient, because as one sector or key stock goes into a bear, another is coming out of it and start to perform better.

By: ...
MoneyMorning.com
Michael A. Robinson writes: For more than a year now, I have been one of the few analysts saying Google Inc. (Nasdaq: GOOGL) was set for a rally.
In several of our chats I’ve said that with this one stock you get both an ETF on the future and a company that produces great profit margins today.
To be sure, the stock lagged the overall market over the past few months. That’s largely because industry analysts thought Google’s futuristic ambitions would shred profits.

Twitter’s Redemption Earnings Not Enough / Companies / Tech Stocks
By: AnyOption
Someone in Twitter’s front office is sitting back and watching the company’s stock go up and down, thinking, “Make up your damn mind, Wall Street!” 2015 has already been a wild ride for the social media company.

The stock rode fairly high until April’s earnings report, which once again highlighted the company’s user growth problems. It plummeted 25.5% in a matter of two days. It didn’t help that longtime CEO Dick Costolo resigned midway through the year without any specific plans for the company’s management, giving investors reason to wonder about the future.Read full article...

Marc Lichtenfeld writes: My favorite time to work is on weekend mornings before the rest of the house gets up.
I wake up, quietly go down the stairs and turn on the computer. While I’m waiting for it to boot up, I enjoy the peaceful scenery of the marsh outside my living room window. There are always amazing birds out there like sandhill cranes and egrets that are just a few feet from my window.

Should Stock Investors You Buy Microsoft On the Dip? / Companies / Microsoft
By: AnyOption
Microsoft has had a rocky relationship with investors over the years, especially the last one. If you look at the numbers over the last two years, it looks like the stock has soared with a 48.59% increase. But if you take a look at the last year alone, it’s up only 5.37%. Year to date it’s even worse at 1.79%.To say the company has struggled to stay innovative amid competition with the likes of Apple and Google is an understatement. There’s a cartoon that’s been floating around the internet for years showing two small children representing Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox fighting it out, while another small child representing Windows Explorer is off in the corner eating glue.

(No!) to more austerity, Prime Minister Tsipras had already betrayed that vote, proposing considerable cuts in exchange for yet another lifeline. And yet, the euro hardly budged more than a couple of percentage points, and European stocks are actually positive on the year.
