      Shares of $Micron Technology(MU)$ pulled back sharply after a strong prior rally, underscoring heightened volatility in AI-linked semiconductor names.

      Apple Shares Plunge on "Black Thursday" — How to Navigate Risk and Opportunity With Options

      Shares of $Apple(AAPL)$ tumbled 5% on Thursday, marking their steepest one-day decline since early April 2025. The stock closed at $261.73.

The company had intended to roll out the enhancements as part of its iOS 26.4 update scheduled for March, but is now considering phasing them into subsequent releases. That could mean some features may not arrive until iOS 26.5 in May or even iOS 27 in September. The delay marks the second major setback f

      Option Strategy | Circle Stock Reverses Almost Entire Post-IPO Gain, How to Trade it Next?

Shares opened at $69 on the New York Stock Exchange and surged in the days that followed, hitting a high of $299 on June 23.But the momentum didn’t last. Circle is now navigating a series of challenges. Competition in the stablecoin market is intensifying, and its core revenue model is threatened by falling interest rates, which directly weaken returns on reserve investments.
