Stocks To Watch
Chip stocks are rebounding, a positive sign for any market rally. Monolithic Power Systems (MPWR), KLA (KLAC), Analog Devices (ADI), Axcelis Technologies (ACLS) and Onsemi (ON) are running up, but are currently in no man’s land, extended from early entries but below traditional buy points.
Apple (AAPL) is perhaps still in range of an early entry, but investors might want to wait to see if AAPL stock can forge a handle.
Tesla stock sold off on Friday, but the EV giant needs to take a break. Meanwhile, the California DMV has accused Tesla (TSLA) of false advertising in promoting Autopilot and Full Self-Driving.
Finally, Celsius (CELH) got a heat check after huge gains in recent days and weeks. What should investors do with CELH stock with earnings on tap Tuesday?

Berkshire Earnings
Berkshire Hathaway (BRKB) operating earnings rose 39% vs. a year earlier to $9.28 billion. But Warren Buffett’s conglomerate suffered a net loss of $43.8 billion. That reflects a $53 billion loss in investments, amid the plunging stock market that bottomed in June.
Berkshire bought back just $1 billion in its own stock in Q2, down from $3.2 billion in Q1. Instead, Berkshire has been loading up on Occidental Petroleum (OXY).
Buffett’s firm still had $105.4 billion in cash at the end of June vs. $106.3 billion at the end of March.
BRKB stock fell 2.8% last week to 292.07, trading between its 200-day and 50-day lines. Berkshire stock has rebounded from its June lows but is still well off its late March peak of 362.10.
