Apple Stock Market Investors Forgetting the Past / Companies / Tech Stocks
By: Doug_Wakefield
Life is good. Today, Apple's new Ipad went on sale, and yesterday, March 15th, its stock topped $600 a share. The company's market size is larger than the entire US retail sector, Exxon (formerly America's most valuable company), all 526 NFL franchises, or the total of the cash holdings of the US government (app $73 billion). There is even talk, that since the company has moved past half a trillion in market size, climbing from $500 a share to $600 a share in only 24 trading days, maybe it is not so outrageous to think that the stock could hit $1 trillion in market size.

Facebook and Leveraged Populists / Companies / Tech Stocks
By: Fred_Sheehan
The recent offering of Facebook stock was the biggest news since a man landed on the Moon. The story was everywhere. Someone said the company is worth $100 billion and that was repeated one-hundred billion times. It is the saturation of noise, more than the supposed price, that should warn investors. This too, shall pass.

Fuzzy Math, Greater Fools and the Facebook IPO / Companies / Tech Stocks

I have several friends who think the Facebook IPO is the next Microsoft.
I think it's more likely the next Research in Motion.

By: Mike_Paulenoff
Cisco (CSCO) reports earnings after today's close. With that in mind, let's have a look at the comparative patterns (and my intermediate-term analytics) on some big-cap technology names.
Intel (INTC) is on a technical buy signal (since Jan 4) and will remain so unless it breaks 26.30 (1st warning), but must break 24.97 to damage the chart structure. My next upside target is 27.50/80 and then 28.50.
