He walks investors through the earnings slate that includes Amazon (AMZN), Alphabet (GOOGL), Microsoft (MSFT), and Meta Platforms (META) and how CapEx spending can sway after-hour market moves. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.
