Ideas

Meta lone-wolf spending pressures shares.
Meta's stock is down significantly because it is a lone wolf on spending, and that aggressive spending posture is a negative for the shares.

Apple services fears are clearly wrong.
Apple's stock has been down since the start of the year because investors fear the services revenue report will disappoint, but the statement on the tape today shows services revenue is actually pretty good, so the bearish services thesis is clearly wrong.

Health care leads this week's rotation.
Money is rotating through the market, and after banks were among the strongest reporting groups, the rotation this week will favor health care.
