Your weekly outlook

All eyes will be on corporate earnings this coming week, with Apple, Facebook, Tesla, and Amazon set to report. Given the massive weighting of these stocks in major indexes, it's not an exaggeration to say their quarterly results — and, perhaps more importantly, their forward outlooks — will dictate the entire market's direction.

The question is the same for these tech titans: Will they be able to keep delivering (and forecasting) stronger-than-expected profit growth? It's something they've been able to do for years, even as estimates have gotten more ambitious. With their valuations sitting at all-time peaks across every imaginable measure, these tech titans are especially vulnerable to any disappointment.

But if the latest earnings report for mega-cap tech stalwart Netflix — which handily blew past estimates for subscriber growth — is any indication, investors may not have much to worry about. In a post-pandemic world where the products and services provided by these companies are still attracting major demand, there's seemingly endless profit-growth opportunity.

And as it pertains to Tesla specifically, just ask the legions of scorched short-sellers what it's like to bet against Elon Musk. They lost roughly $39 billion in 2020 as Tesla's stock soared 743%. Will the company's earnings give them reason to start shorting again? Tune in Wednesday to find out.


The bull case for crypto from a CEO that's poured $1 billion into bitcoin

Michael Saylor is the chief executive officer of business intelligence and software firm MicroStrategy, which has plowed more than $1 billion of its funds into bitcoin.

In a recent "SALT Talks" interview with SkyBridge founder Anthony Scaramucci, Saylor recounted how he went from a bitcoin skeptic to its "most important proselytizer." He also shared the eureka moment that changed his beliefs about bitcoin and laid out the hurdles that the digital asset still has to jump through to become the "newest institutional safe-haven asset."
