By: EWI

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.

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.

By: ...
MoneyMorning.com
If you've traded for more than a few months, you've seen how earnings season can really move share prices – in both directions.

But less than a week after the referendum that said "όχι!" (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.

Elliott Wave Analysis of AAPL Apple Stock / Companies / Apple
By: WavePatternTraders
Simply put time is running out for the bulls, the failure to move back above 130 is a problem, it supports an earlier idea I was working and that a peak could well be in place for AAPL at 134.55.
