Shares of Netflix (NFLX) plummeted almost 35% to $77.37 in one day on Tue. Oct. 25 after reporting losing 800,000 U.S. subscribers in the third quarter, and predicting an unprofitable 2012 mostly due to its aggressive international expansion plan. The magnitude of the share price drop caught option traders off guard even though the options market had priced in a 15% swing in either direction.

Apple Technically Ripe for "Sell the News" / Companies / Tech Stocks

AAPL is extremely overbought atop its near-vertical advance off its October 4 low of 354.24, and in the aftermath of Steve Jobs' death on October 5.

Apple, The Greatest Stock Of The Decade / Companies / Tech Stocks
As the brilliant Steve Jobs leaves his CEO post at Apple, we must agree with the stock market and say, "Well done, Steve."
Few days go by without one of the White House's lawyers, lobbyists, and college professors going on television to vilify "rich" Americans. What those folks don't realize is that the great majority of rich people got where they are not through the political way of favor peddling, pandering, and making hollow speeches. The great majority of America's rich got where they are the way Steve Jobs did…

Apple Loses Its Magic With Steve Job's Departure / Companies / Tech Stocks
Kerri Shannon writes: To say Apple Inc. (Nasdaq: AAPL) won't be the same company without Steve Jobs is an understatement.
Jobs helped Apple's share price climb to $373 - a 9,020% gain since 1997 when he was named interim CEO. Earlier this month, Apple's market capitalization grew to $337.17 billion and it briefly displaced Exxon Mobil Corp. (NYSE: XOM) as the most valuable U.S. company, but was unable to hold the lead.

More Downside for Amazon Stock / Companies / Tech Stocks
My near and intermediate-term work in Amazon (AMZN) has the right look of a price structure that has completed a significant upleg from its June low at 181.59 to its July high at 229.25.
Let's notice that the most recent upleg traversed its 5-month bullish channel and popped above the upper channel line, only to reverse back into the confines of the channel.

NDX/NAZ and AAPL Tech Stocks Analysis / Companies / Tech Stocks
We updated both the NDX and NAZ charts today to the most obvious pattern: Primary wave V underway. If we review the NDX since 2009 we have quite a clear pattern. A 13 month rally, which subdivided into five Major waves and we labeled Primary I. Then a sharp 3 month 17% zigzag correction, which we labeled Primary II. Next comes a 7 month rally, no OEW subdivisions, into a February high. This is followed a 4 month 9% irregular flat correction that completed well above the Primary I high.

Amazon Stock Price Hurdles Key Resistance / Companies / Tech Stocks
Yesterday we noted that Amazon (AMZN)'s failure to follow through to the downside multiple times in the session followed by a recovery rally effort intraday suggested it had ended its two-week correction. AMZN's thrust today has hurdled key resistance at 214.45-215.00, and has followed through to an intraday high so far at 217.82, which is very close to a full-fledged test of the all-time high at 218.36.

Facebook, Twitter, From Tech Bubble to Tech Bubble, Dust to Dust / Companies / Tech Stocks
So far, this century has been a delight. From tech bubble to tech bubble in scarcely 10 years.
On our recent trip to China, all of a sudden we felt 10 years younger. For in the coffee bars of China’s futuristic cities were entrepreneurs, dreamers and lunatics who still thought it was 1999. A group of young techies filled us in: “We don’t worry about profitability. We can worry about that later. We want traffic. Because we know we can monetize the traffic on the stock market.” Here were people who still believed they could take eyeballs to the bank.

The Rise and Inglorious Fall of Myspace / Companies / Tech Stocks
The fall of MySpace over the past 3-4 years has been stunning in nature, probably only rivaled by that of Yahoo (YHOO) mid decade. Both were usurped by a competitor who has become a household name - in MySpace's case we are speaking of Facebook, while Yahoo was taken out by Google (GOOG). BusinessWeek's cover story details the rise and fall of MySpace who 4 years ago was the dominant social network.

Why Facebook Subscribers Should Get a Piece of the IPO the Action / Companies / Tech Stocks
William Patalon III writes: Mark Zuckerberg... you need to share the wealth from the Facebook IPO.
During a Wednesday morning appearance on the FoxBusiness "Varney & Co." program, Money Morning's Shah Gilani said the Facebook Inc. founder and CEO should reserve 20% of the potential $100 billion initial public offering (IPO) for some of the company's 600 million subscribers - since they're the folks who really made Zuckerberg the king of social networking (as well one of the youngest billionaires in history).
