REUTERS: Apple cuts first-quarter production plan for new iPhones by 10 percent: Nikkei

Apple Inc is cutting planned production for its three new iPhone models by about 10 percent for the March quarter, the Nikkei Asian Review reported on Wednesday, a week after the company slashed its quarterly sales forecast.

That rare step exposed weakening demand in China for Apple's iPhones amid a slowing economy, which has also been buffeted by a bruising trade war with the United States.

A Helpful Website

A friend showed me a website today: finviz.com. I had been looking for a website like this for a while, and was super excited to finally be able to use it. I highly recommend taking a look at the website if you don’t know what it is. It’s a website with a huge database of stocks that allows you to search for certain stocks with filters.

Storytime: My tragic relationship with $PCG

So after the wildfire, I suspected $PCG would rebound so I bought it at $22.00. After a week or two, it raised up to around $27 which was a 25% return. I was greedy and assumed that nothing else could go wrong. Out of nowhere, $PCG was caught falsifying records. It dropped to around $24 which still left me in a 10% return. I decided to be persistent and stick with it. And just recently, $PCG is now filing for bankrupty and is now at $19. So now I'm at a 10% deficit... I'm thinking of just pulling out now before it goes completely bankrupt... Any thoughts?

Significant Activist Hedge Fund Activity (Last 7 Days)

These are the latest Schedule 13D forms filed by activist investors in the last 7 days. Activist investors are investors that make an investment with the intention of influencing management in some way. There is evidence that following activist investors into investments can generate excess returns. Schedule 13G forms, in contrast, are filed by significant investors with no intention of influencing management (such as Index funds).

There is always a lot of interest in insider trades, but what a lot of people probably don't realize is that hedge fund activity is probably more predictive of future returns than insider activity. The reason is that hedge funds (a) have large research budgets, and (b) have a choice where to put their money. In contract, insiders have no choice where to put their money, but only when to time their transactions.

New Filings

This table lists new 13D filings in the last week. A new filing does not necessarily indicate a new position, as investors frequently accumulate in advance before reaching the filing threshold.

America is becoming one of the worlds biggest oil exporters. Does that make American oil companies a good buy?

I've been trying to wrap my head around this and could use some help.

The United States has gone from a net oil importer to a net oil exporter.

America is also not a member of OPEC and therefore doesn't have to follow their rules

Does this make American oil companies a good buy?

How does the price of oil affect US oil stocks? What about total supply and supply from other countries?

I'm looking at XOM and WTI but open to other suggestions
