Big Tech Randomosity

Remember when big technology stocks mattered? It was interesting Friday to see Microsoft slide and Google not do well, and the market shrugged it off. Sure the NASDAQ was down. But it used to be the whole market would slide on that kind of news.

Of course, Google did hold the 50 day moving average.

Which just goes to show you, don't fight the Fed! Don't fight the trend! People want to buy stocks and that is that. Not just domestic buyers, but I think international money, too.

I am still in cash. No summer trades for me yet. I still think there is a correction coming, but I have been wrong so far this summer.

I want my pension! You know, it will be interesting to watch Detroit for what happens to pensions. There are many retirees and workers who have been promised pensions, and the question is how will they be paid?

Pop Tart ice cream sandwiches. Raise your hand if you want one. *as my hand shoots straight up*

The Dodgers won, sweeping the Washington Nationals in the three game series. Unbelievable starting pitching, clutch hitting, and great relief from the bullpen. I think this is what we expected all year as Dodgers fans.

Did you read where $GOOG maps lost $AAPL and Foursquare, and Yelp may be next?
Google started charging for high-volume Google Maps users, and Apple and Foursquare have switched to OpenStreetMap.
Apple had integrated Google Maps into iOS, but no more.
How will this impact Google going forward? With iOS dominating mobile computing and outpacing desktop and laptop growth, this is something to keep an eye on.

test

It wasn't that long ago that Intel ($INTC) was a bellwether for the tech sector. We'd watch and wait for the future guidance and word on capital expenditures, and watch the semiconductor sector fly.

So what happens 12 years later? Is Intel still the leader of the pack?

Intel posted great numbers after the bell.

We'll see what happens tomorrow...
