Way back in late 2007, we declared "the sky's the limit for Google stock," which at the time was trading at just over $600 per share. Nearly six years later, that might still be true. The sultan of search set a record earlier this week, becoming the first tech firm to surpass the $800 per share mark. That in itself isn't terribly meaningful...Read more...
Finicky investors weren't as high on Apple yesterday as they have been in the past. Apple's share price dropped 6.4 percent on Wednesday, representing the company's biggest single-day drop in four years and shaving $35 billion from its market cap. What gives? That's a good question, and there are no concrete answer to be found, only theories....Read more...
OCZ has seen quite a bit of action inside of its walls this past year, and clearly, not all of it has been ideal. In fact, it wouldn't be a stretch to equate the goings-on inside the company to like being on a roller-coaster - the company has definitely had its share of ups and downs.

At this point in the game, Apple might as well have a license to print money. The Cupertino company's share price soared to a new high on Friday, reaching $648.11 at the closing bell, which gives Apple a market capitalization of $607.54 billion. In after hours trading, the stock is up to $649, an indication that a new high is on the horizon....Read more...
Apple stocks tumbled 11% post-MacWorld, perhaps as a result of nothing more impressive than the MacBook Air to show off this year. That's not to say that the MacBook Air isn't impressive, but it's hard to outdo the announcement of the iPhone and Apple TV with a thin & light laptop that doesn't really cater to either the college crowd...Read more...
On Wall Street, one man's loss is often another man's gain. And for investors, if one sector of the market goes bad, you don't hide the money in the mattress, you look for another sector.
