Billion-Dollar Fines Don’t Hurt Tech Giants, Ex-EU Enforcer Says

October 14, 2020 [email protected]_84 LATEST TECH

(Bloomberg) — Silicon Valley is more worried about being forced to change how it does business than mega antitrust fines, according to the European Union official who pushed through landmark decisions against Microsoft Corp., Intel Corp. and Google.

The Department of Culture, Media and Sport will work with the Home Office to publish a white paper later this year setting out legislation, according to a statement, which will also seek to force tech giants to reveal how they target abusive and illegal online material posted by users.

While a 1.06 billion-euro ($1.2 billion) fine for Intel in 2009 sent a “big message” to tech giants, levying such costs isn’t the most important thing regulators can do, said Cecilio Madero

These days TSX tech stocks provide investors with some of their biggest growth. So it’s crucial you have at least some exposure to these stocks, as missing out could lead you to underperform the market severely.

With so many tech stocks doing such similar and complicated things, for the average investor to understand, it can be difficult to decide which stocks you want to invest in.

That’s why, first and foremost, you must understand the business. If you can’t explain how a company makes its money, then there is no way you can adequately tell if the stock has value today or whether it’s a good investment.

And although it’s crucial to have exposure to tech stocks, many of these companies are higher risk. So unless you have a tonne of conviction for a certain tech stock, I would generally

Apple unveils four iPhone 12 with 5G variants

October 14, 2020 [email protected]_84 LATEST TECH

The iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max.

AT its special event this morning, Apple unveiled, as rumoured, four 5G-enabled iPhone 12 models.

As usual, chief executive officer, Tim Cook, started the event (which is Apple’s third major event this year streamed via the Internet) by welcoming viewers to the showcase from inside the Steve Jobs Theatre.

What’s different is that this time is that Apple started the show with a beautiful night view of its giant spaceship campus up till sunrise.

All 5G-enabled devices

The Cupertino-based company decided to make all four iPhone 12 models – iPhone 12, iPhone 12 mini, iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max – 5G-enabled, promising users with high speed capability, especially in downloading and uploading of content.

The 5G feature also improves speeds for faster downloads and uploads, higher quality video streaming, more responsive gaming,

Monday’s Big Tech Rally Looks Suspicious

October 14, 2020 [email protected]_84 LATEST TECH

Any market pundit will happily, sagely tell you that not every day in the market needs an explanation. Monday’s move does. Four percent rallies (intraday) are not easy to come by, even by this bull market’s standards, and with recent bullish relationships not holding in yesterday’s action, it behooves us to dive deeper into the session.

Notably absent in Monday’s big move was a concurrent drop in the dollar. The S&P and the dollar have been steadily inversely correlated since March, and dollar declines have been associated with policy efforts to loosen financial conditions. In fact, the dollar is well-bid as I update this article on Tuesday.

Investors have been hyper-focused on the possibility of fiscal stimulus since the September bottom, evidenced in large part by a quick drop in the dollar last week. To see none of that weakness as the market surged Monday was odd.

3 ASX tech shares that pay dividends

October 14, 2020 [email protected]_84 LATEST TECH

When it comes to ASX dividend shares, the mind usually doesn’t jump to the tech space. Tech shares have long been associated with high-growth, high-octane investors. If you ask a typical ASX investor to name ten top dividend shares, I would wager that there wouldn’t be one tech share on the list.

Tech shares and dividends have long had an interesting relationship in the investing world. Over in the United States, dividend-paying companies even have a certain stigma attached to them. Probably due to a lack of a ‘franking’ system, US companies are considered ‘mature’ or ‘tired’ if they start paying a dividend. Even today, US tech titans like Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ: AMZN), Alphabet Inc (NASDAQ: GOOG)(NASDAQ: GOOGL), Netflix Inc (NASDAQ: NFLX)
