Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway should be part of a "Magnificent Eight," Jim Worden says. AdvertisementAdvertisementThe "Magnificent Seven" should be expanded to include Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway, one investment chief says. Berkshire commands a larger market capitalization than Tesla or Meta, but it's not counted as a member of the Magnificent Seven because it's not a fast-growing technology company. Including it would provide significant diversification to the group of high-flying stocks, Worden said. It also holds roughly $350 billion worth of stocks, including multibillion-dollar stakes in Apple, Bank of America, Chevron, Coca-Cola, and Kraft Heinz.

▼ + stars: | 2023-10-26 | by ( Nicole Goodkind | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +2 min

New York CNN —US stocks fell Thursday morning under the pressure of disappointing third-quarter results from Big Tech companies and high Treasury yields. Shares of Meta slid about 2.6% on Thursday morning after the Facebook parent company reported that advertising revenue had been soft this quarter. Shares of other big tech companies fell alongside Meta and Alphabet. The top tech companies in the US — Apple, Amazon, Nvidia, Microsoft and Alphabet — combine to make up a quarter of the S&P 500’s value, giving them an outsized impact on investors’ portfolios. Tech stocks have also felt the impact of rising Treasury yields.

New York CNN —In an unstable economic climate marked by geopolitical unrest, concerns about the Federal Reserve and soaring Treasury yields, investors are closely watching this week’s Big Tech earnings for clues about where the volatile stock market may head next. That means investors are watching their earnings particularly closely for prognostications about where the market is headed next. Big tech controls the market: Excluding Big Tech, the average earnings for S&P 500 companies would drop by 5% this quarter, according to Bloomberg Intelligence data. “Big Tech valuations pose risks for the broader markets, as Big Tech has contributed to almost all of the stock market’s year-to-date gains,” said David Bahnsen, chief investment officer of the Bahnsen Group. “This lack of market breadth suggests that investors are still highly prone to chasing momentum and getting overly excited about different market themes and stories, such as artificial intelligence.”It also suggests that there’s not a lot of room for any Big Tech earnings missteps.

A Goldman partner criticized the bank's launch of Apple savings accounts as a mistake, WSJ reports. Goldman has reportedly been exploring offloading its Apple partnership to AmEx. "We should have never done this f—ing thing," an unnamed Goldman partner, speaking about the bank's April savings accounts launch with Apple, reportedly told others at the bank. Other Goldman insiders apparently agree with the unnamed partner's feeling that the partnership was a mistake, the Journal reported. The Journal reported in July that Goldman was considering offloading its Apple partnership, possibly to American Express.

Leverage and risk managementLike hedge funds do, Tomicki relies on leverage, or borrowed money that he then invests, to amplify his returns. He said for every $1 of investor capital he receives, he's long by $3 per stock, meaning returns are multiplied by three. To further lessen his overall portfolio risk, Tomicki said he runs the 200-plus stocks that satisfy his three selection criteria through a quantitative model. However, Goldman Sachs strategists recently said the seven stocks look cheap and could continue to surge.

Apple CEO Tim Cook just sold $88 million of his stock, earning about $41.5 million after taxes. The iPhone maker's boss cashed in 13% of his stake, but still owns shares worth $570 million. The disposals generated around $88 million of gross proceeds, but roughly $44 million was withheld by Apple to cover the taxes incurred. For example, he sold $752 million worth of Apple stock in August 2021, netting himself around $355 million after taxes. Following his latest trades, Cook owns about 3.3 million Apple shares, a position worth $570 million as of Wednesday's close.

“It is no secret that Apple is making more money on Bing existing than Bing does,’’ Mikhail Parakhin, Microsoft’s chief of advertising and web services, said in U.S. District Court in Washington. Parakhin was describing Microsoft’s years of futility trying to supplant Google on Apple devices. The U.S. Department of Justice accuses Google of using similar agreements to lock out rival search engines such as Bing and Yahoo, stifling innovation. Asked by U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta whether a search engine could be built solely off machine learning, he replied: "We’ve seen companies try. One option would be to bar the Mountain View, California-based company from paying Apple and others to make Google the default search engine.

Apple is marketing a security feature after the WSJ revealed it can be used by iPhone thieves. Thieves have reportedly taken up to $10,000 through iPhones by using the Apple ID reset feature. Earlier this week, Apple made a post on X, previously known as Twitter, that included a short video on how Apple users can change the passwords to their Apple ID accounts. "I absolutely cannot believe Apple is marketing this as a feature," Stern wrote on X. "Of course, I tried it like minute three, I tried it," Ayas told Insider in reference to the "Find my iPhone" feature.

☆ Historically volatile week will test the bull market in stocks

This historic weakness is well-enshrined in stock market lore and encapsulated in the old chestnut, "Sell Rosh Hashana and buy Yom Kippur." Triple witching refers to each quarter's simultaneous expiration of stock index futures and options and individual stock options. It may be true we are in a bull market, but it is certainly not a typical one. Instead of trying to pick winners, Marks sensibly proposes the opposite: You might also achieve that goal — of producing alpha, or outperformance — by holding fewer of the losers. That is why the vast majority of active stock pickers continue to underperform the market, and why money continues to flow into passive index funds.

PARIS (AP) — Apple has agreed to install updates for the iPhone 12 in France after French regulators ordered the company to stop selling the model because it emits electromagnetic radiation levels that exceed European Union standards. On Tuesday, France’s government ordered a halt to sales of the iPhone 12 and told Apple to issue a software update to address the problem or face a recall. Apple said in a statement Friday that it “will issue a software update for users in France to accommodate the protocol used by French regulators.” It did not elaborate. The radiation produced by cellphones cannot directly damage DNA and is different from stronger types of radiation like X-rays or ultraviolet light. Experts have recommended that people concerned about their cellphone radiation exposure use earphones or switch to texting.

One of the potentially big ones is that the S & P 500 on Wednesday closed below its 50-day moving average. That's typically considered a good short-term warning sign that the market is in a downtrend as traders de-risk ahead of potentially turbulent times. Those moves come at a time when other signs are mounting for a potential modest pullback, according to Nicholas Colas, co-founder of DataTrek Research. Colas advised investors to watch the Cboe Volatility Index for clues about where the market is heading in the near term.

In many ways, we've so thoroughly integrated the devices into our lives, it's become impossible to break free. It's not just people's personal lives that are affected, but their work lives, too. To enter the store, customers need to download a separate app, connect it to their Amazon account, load a credit card, and swipe into the location. Instead, it lets customers register to scan their own items while they shop and pay from their phone. When internet connections aren't reliable, phone batteries run low, or you don't have a smartphone, these changes actually make everything much harder.
