Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) made the strongest move up of the week on the assumption that its small, inexpensive chips would power many of the new superphones including the new Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) iPhone and a number of Google (NASDAQ: GOOG) Android-powered handsets–some of them made for 4G networks.
ITT (NYSE: ITT) rose as it announced that it would break itself into four pieces. Some consider this the beginning of the end of conglomerates. A better way to view it is that ITT should never existed in the first place.
Apollo Group (NASDAQ: APOL) is one of the unloved paid education companies. It posted better-than-expected earnings. Any news is good news for Apollo.
And, finally, Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX) keeps rising no matter what the reason. Its competition, the Redbox chain owned by Coinstar (NASDAQ: CSTR) had a bad quarter. So, Netflix probably had a good one.
