Alphabet Fell 12.6% in a Day. 406 S&P 500 Stocks Rose Anyway
The S&P 500 lost 0.57% last week and the QQQ fell 1.97%, but the equal-weight RSP gained 0.82%. So far the numbers point to big-tech weakness, not a broad market decline.
iPhone Duo's Three-Month Wait: Demand Surge or Supply Bottleneck?
Shipping dates slid to January 2027 within minutes of preorders opening. That is a strong start, but a sellout is not the same as a measure of demand.
Why Great Stocks Like Apple, Amazon and Nvidia Fell 80% First

AI's Next KPI Isn't Token Price. It's Cost Per Successful Task
Apple is cutting the cost of where inference happens, Anthropic is cutting the cost of running its models, and Snorkel AI shows money flowing into the data and evaluation layer that reduces failed attempts.

AI Was Supposed to Live in the Cloud. Apple Is Bringing It Back to the Desktop.

The Real AI Question Isn't Bubble Risk. It's Whether Profits Keep Up With Capex
Rather than take Tom Lee and Dan Ives' latest bullish calls at face value, we separated what the data actually confirms from what is still a forecast. The size of the AI buildout matters less now than how fast it turns into profit.
Why the iPhone Fold's Crease Barely Shows in the Middle
Apple's foldable engineering makes sense once you think about bookshelves, matte wallpaper, and window screens. Apple didn't erase the crease. It tricked force, light, and the camera into hiding it.
Apple's Real AI Bet Isn't a Chatbot. It's Siri Running Your Apps
Apple has stepped back from the race to build a smarter chatbot than ChatGPT. Instead it is building an "OS agent" that connects Mail, Photos, Calendar and hundreds of thousands of apps to actually finish tasks. 2026 is the first year that strategy gets tested as a product, not a keynote promise.
Higher Rates Don't Break Big Tech's Business. They Reprice Its Future.
Microsoft, Alphabet, Apple and Nvidia are sitting on more cash than debt. What rates actually change is the discount rate applied to cash flows a decade out, and whether a cut is a soft landing or a recession signal.
Brent at $109, the 10-year at 4.94%: the discount rate is beating the AI trade
Stocks fell for a fourth straight session on Sept. 10 as producer prices and energy costs pushed long yields toward 5%. After the close, Oracle showed AI demand is converting into signed contracts. The question is no longer demand. It is what multiple the market can pay for it.
Apple's first foldable barely moved the stock. Margin, not the $1,999 price, is why
The iPhone Duo is a real break in Apple's product strategy. For investors, the question is not how many it sells, but whether the price increase survives memory and foldable component costs and reaches EPS.

Brent pushed past 101 dollars and the US 10-year yield hit 4.84%. Meta jumped 6.55% and all four indexes still closed lower. The story of September 9 was the price of money, not the price of profits.
