The market was mostly flat for the week... Apple reported falling iPhone unit sales, losing more market share in China... Facebook saw a big revenue increase, while TSLA reported a bigger loss. Regardless, none of these stocks gained or lost value after reporting! IBM dipped after Buffet reported dumping some of his shares. The VIX remains at multiyear lows.
