Certainly this was not welcome news, but I don't think it's a debacle either, in general, investors are not overly concerned by the news from Apple as a read through to technology or the market overall.

Anything that was less than a comprehensive agreement was likely to see some degree of market selloff, the timing had a lot to do with the volatility. There were 15 minutes to go in the trading day on a Friday.

There were 15 minutes to go in the trading day on a Friday ... after the Dow had risen 700 points in the last two days, anything that was less than a comprehensive agreement was likely to see some degree of market sell off.

What all of that combined is going to do is ensure there is going to be elevated volatility in both directions in the next few days.

I think the pricing on the Apple TV service was definitely a positive surprise, that's why you're seeing the hammering in some of the other video service-related names like Netflix, Amazon and Roku. Clearly, that was a positive that people were happy to hear.

Lower interest rates lead to lower mortgage rates (which) lead to increased demand for homebuilders, you counter that with potential concerns that, if a recession is coming, even if rates are at historically low levels, demand for everything is going to be somewhat mitigated.

It's become a matter of buyers remaining interested in continuing to buy stocks that they feel have been oversold and a lack of sellers' supply.

It's been a very rough week for oil, and that has weighed (on part) of the market. And the continued pullback in yields have spelled weakness in the financials.

I don't think today there is any news that's particularly concerning other than disappointing guidance from Kohl's and disappointing results from Toll Brothers, i don't think it's anything other than some profit taking.

The stimulus to better stock price action is signs that the U.S. economy is, in fact, doing better.

Overall, the tone of the market has gotten much better in the last week, and nothing happened overnight to dent that optimism, even with China down nearly 6 percent.

We’ve had a pretty significant bounce, today is just a bit of profit-taking from those that have benefited from the significant move.

Shoot first, ask questions later. That's the mentality of technology investors right now, any disappointment is being taken out to the woodshed.
