AP Photo/Jeff Chiu NEW YORK –  Apple shares are falling in premarket trading after The Wall Street Journal reported that the company has cut its orders for iPhone 5 components due to weaker-than-expected demand. The newspaper says two people it did not identify by name told it that Apple's first-quarter orders for iPhone 5 screens have dropped to about half of what the company had planned to order.

NEW YORK J.C. Penney (JCP) executives may be confident in the department-store chain's everyday low pricing strategy, but its investors are panicking. The company's stock fell more than 13 percent on Monday - the biggest percentage decline by far among big companies in the S&P 500 for the day. Penney stock lost nearly $3 on Monday to close at just under $18, its lowest price since March 2009 when the United States was in a recession. Can J.C. Penney succeed like Target and Apple?

  • Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
  • The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
  • The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).

Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.

Big ticket: Americans buying upscale tech gadgets

As sure as the sun rises every day, so does spending on tech products every year. But what people are buying has changed a great deal.   The current move is toward not only smartphones and tablets but also high-end versions in other product categories, according to the Consumer Electronics Association, which this week gave its annual projection for holiday shopping. Just as last year, 76 percent of gift buyers plan to purchase a tablet such as the iPad, the CEA said. (In fact, Americans will buy 32 million just in the last three months of this year. ) Just two years ago, about the same percentage wanted laptops. In 2009, it was digital cameras, and in 2008 it was game consoles. While fewer people are buying cameras overall, more people are buying high-end DSLRs.
