Apple (AAPL) became a $1 trillion company in August 2018, and two years later—August 19, 2020—became the first company to be valued at $2 trillion. Then, the tech giant started out 2022 with a bang. On Monday, January 3, AAPL shares rose by 3% intraday, taking it past the latest milestone—$3 trillion. Apple had briefly […]
Although normally an active options stock, there was significantly more volume than usual in Intel (INTC). The semiconductor giant saw almost 500,000 options trade on a big day last week, with 72% of the action on the call side.

I predict in 2022, we could see some sluggishness to the S&P 500 as it hits all-time highs. But what about tech?

According to NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang, for example, demand could exceed supply through 2022. Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger says the shortage won’t end until 2023. “We’re in the worst of it now, every quarter, next year we’ll get incrementally better, but they’re not going to have supply-demand balance until 2023,” he told The Independent. STMicro […]
Cryptocurrencies have been red hot, as we noted on November 5. So it came as no surprise when Bitcoin hit a new all-time high of $66,566 a day later. The surge is all thanks to retail and institutional interest, as well as JP Morgan, which says Bitcoin could be headed to $146,000. “The re-emergence of […]
