Apple, Inc (NASDAQ: AAPL ) and Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ: MSFT ) were trading up 1.62% and 1.44% off the open, respectively, early on Monday morning but began to sink slightly by midday following reports that the negotiations between Russian and Ukranian delegations sent to Belarus won’t immediately result in any agreement between the two countries. The SPDR S&P 500 , which was trading up 1.43% off the open at one point, retraced over 1% lower on the news, impacting the tech stocks negatively. Apple and Microsoft have been struggling recently, with Apple trading down over 10% from its Jan. 4 all-time high of $182.94 and Microsoft declining about 15% since reaching an all-time high of $349.67 on Nov. 22. The correction to the downside should’ve been expected: stocks don’t go up in a straight line, just as they don’t go down without retracements to the upside. Between the two stocks, both Apple and Microsoft have signaled the correction may be over by printing massive green candles Thursday, which demonstrated a high level of bullish interest and each stock’s respective support levels.

The Xbox Series X is available at Walmart right now

05:26pm, Monday, 28'th Feb 2022 The Verge
The Xbox Series X is selling for $499.99 at Walmart, but you’ll have to act quickly if you want one. | Photo by Vjeran Pavic / The Verge Good news for those who have yet to nab the Xbox Series X: right now, Walmart is selling Microsoft’s next-gen console for its usual price of $499 . Even better, unlike previous restocks, this one is open to all and not just Walmart Plus members. This one came up very suddenly out of the blue, and it isn’t utilizing Walmart’s usual online queue system, so be sure to keep trying to add the console to your cart if at first you receive an error message. While there’s no guarantee you’ll land the coveted console today, there are a few ways to ensure you give yourself the best chance. For one thing, make sure to first log into your Walmart account and ensure your shipping and billing details are set. Walmart often releases stock in 10-minute intervals, but this one is definitely playing to the tune of its own song so we don’t know how long it may last. Regardless, keep trying until you get one in your cart to checkout or it flips to out of stock.

The Xbox Series S is $249.99 for the first time

04:23pm, Monday, 28'th Feb 2022 The Verge
The Xbox Series S is a deceptively small console. It’s about the size of two controllers side-by-side. | Photo by Vjeran Pavic / The Verge It seems like every time we mention the Xbox Series S, it gets a little cheaper. The entry-level Xbox has slowly gone from dropping $10 to $30 off its regular $299.99 price, and now to a full $50 off. Woot has the Xbox Series S for $249.99 today only, or until inventory runs out. And unlike some previous Woot deals, this one’s not limited to Amazon Prime subscribers. To put it in perspective, that is half the cost of its bigger sibling, the still-elusive Xbox Series X — but to say this is half the console would not do the little white Xbox enough justice. Microsoft’s cheaper Xbox Series S does not feature a disc drive, but it plays the same games as the Xbox Series X at a more modest QHD (2560 x 1440) resolution and up to 120fps in… Continue reading…
