Joining Yahoo! Finance to Prep For a Big Week of Tech Earnings
We talk Microsoft, Meta, Tesla, Apple, gold, CoreWeave and the Fed
Tematica’s Chris Versace joined Brooke DiPalma on the Opening Bid over at Yahoo! Finance this morning to kick off a busy week of earnings. While roughly 32% of the S&P 500 will be reporting this week, Brooke asks Chris what he’ll be looking for when Microsoft (MSFT), Meta (META), and Tesla (TSLA) report.
The conversation pivots to why Chris is focused on Apple’s (AAPL) guidance later this week and then shifts into gold and silver as well as CoreWeave’s big move up today. That includes how TheStreet Pro Portfolio, which Chris manages, is participating.
