Sharp drops in Apple, Facebook and other big technology companies ended a miserable week on Wall Street on another sour note. Surging coronavirus cases, Washington’s failure to deliver needed aid and the uncertainty about the election sent markets lower.

All four reported profit for the summer that was even better than analysts were expecting, just like the other stock in the Big Five did earlier this week. But also like Microsoft, most nevertheless fell as investors found reasons for concern within their reports.

Twitter, another high-profile tech stock, slumped 21.7% for the largest loss by far among stocks in the S&P 500. It also reported better-than-expected earnings for the latest quarter. Investors focused instead on its growth in daily users, which fell short of analysts’ expectations. A similar trend has been occurring across the market: Stocks are not getting the bounce they usually do after reporting results that beat analysts’ expectations. And they’ve been giving investors plenty of opportunities to do so: With nearly three quarters of the S&P 500 by market value having reported, 84% of companies have beat expectations, according to Credit Suisse.

“Because of the spike in Covid-19 overseas, with Germany and France in lockdown mode once again, the implication is that we could be heading into a double-dip recession in Europe, and that would have negative future implications for our economic growth.” Stovall said.

I sold all of my twitter stock over the nypost debacle, because I support journalism, and I do not support the censorship of it. also, jack looks like a pedophile

I hope they take a good kick in the Balls.

Suppress news in a clearly partisan way, people lose faith in you. Report salacious allegations against both parties or report none.

lol- “uncertainty about the election.” Just wait until Joe Biden is elected- and watch the bottom drop out. My fervent hope is that the crashing economy takes half of MSM down- and with it tons of jobs. They deserve it for all the fakenews they’ve distributed.

Notice that map ap doesn’t mention the big tech censorship? whispers that’s because they are in on it.
