Apple’s new iPhone 6 is less than ONE month away from its debut on September 9th.

If the release is successful and people are receptive to the long awaited, new and improved iPhone, amazing things are said to happen for Apple and its stock price.

Apple’s earnings guidance according to analysts (predicted earnings for the next earnings quarter) will depend heavily on how high the sales numbers are for this new release.

Amid growing frenzy over an Ebola outbreak in West Africa and fears it could spread, Canadian-based Tekmira Pharmaceuticals Corp.  has moved a little closer to getting approval for a treatment that combats the deadly virus, sending its shares soaring Friday.

Losing money happens in the stock market and there is no need to quit because of it. Just like anything in life, you have to practice and learn from your mistakes to become a better investor.

Goldman Sachs Group Inc.GS +0.64% says it knows what’s going to happen when the Federal Reserve starts raising interest rates.

“We forecast a dramatic divergence between stock and bond returns during the next several years,” a Goldman team led by stock strategist David Kostin wrote to clients this week. Goldman predicts the S&P 500 will generate a 6% annualized total return between now and 2018, compared to a 1% annualized gain for the benchmark 10-year Treasury note, assuming the Fed starts raising rates in the middle of next year.
