Another Slippery Day

No News Turned Bad News
So, what happened?
Shares of Apple (Ticker:Ā AAPL) were down more than 3% on Thursday and drove Nasdaq down with it. The movement of the stock doesn’t seem to be related to any news. After Apple’s recent rally created by the company’s stock split, investors likely sold some of their stake in the company to lock some gain, especially if the market gets into a downward spiral movement. Sometimes no news turns into bad news.
The Battle Got More Epic
So what happened?
Fortnite and Apple’s (Ticker:Ā AAPL) got even more heated asĀ Apple decided to countersue the maker of the world’s most famous social game. It takes so much courage by Fortnite to stand against Apple. But, Apple also has so much at stake. The company counts on its App Store for its non-hardware revenue, and the can’t just back off and reduce its 30% commission it charges app-makers on every in-app purchase. The counter lawsuit is heating the battle and making it even more epic.
