Apple Earnings Miss

(AP:NEW YORK) Apple says its growth slowed in the most recent quarter, disappointing investors who thought its progress was unstoppable.

In both revenue and net income, Apple Inc. posted the smallest increases in years for the April to June period, failing to meet analyst expectations.

Net income in the fiscal fourth quarter was $8.8 billion, or $9.32 per share. That was up 21 percent from $7.3 billion, or $7.79 per share, a year ago. Continue reading "Apple Earnings Miss"

Europe Worries Lead To Another Sell-Off On Wall Street

(RTTNews) - Stocks moved notably lower over the course of the trading day on Tuesday, adding to the steep losses posted in the previous session. Worries about the financial situation in Europe once again contributed to the weakness on Wall Street.

Technically Speaking: Markets You Should Be Watching Right Now

By Brian Cullen

October 2012 / April 2013 LIVE CATTLE spread:

I would like to get short the live cattle market.

With the country immersed in drought conditions, the cattle markets are set in a channel/downtrend that I believe will continue into the fall season. We have already seen it play out in the grain markets with no major relief in the near future. Continue reading "Technically Speaking: Markets You Should Be Watching Right Now"
