While some expect a pickup after the iPhone X goes on sale in November, others cautioned that phone's high price tag could weigh on demand. The chief executive of Rogers Communication (RCIb.TO), Canada's largest mobile network, on Thursday said appetite for the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus, which went on sale in September, had been "anemic," the latest sign of weak sales for those phones ahead of the Nov. 3 launch of the pricier iPhone X. Verizon Communication Inc's (VZ.N) Chief Financial Officer Matt Ellis said the number of third-quarter phone upgrades fell versus previous years, but that he expected an upgrade surge when the iPhone X is released.

Rite Aid Corporation (NYSE:RAD) investors certainly haven't been faced with a shortage of things to chew on of late. The failure of Walgreen's initial plan to outright acquire all shares of RAD stock in 2015 followed by the no-go on 2016's revised plan to only buy 2,186 Rite Aid units - WBA is now only acquiring 1,932 of Rite Aid's 4,560 stores - spurred mounds of investor concern, as a large cash infusion was seen as the only way to save the struggling Rite Aid Corporation. Here's the thing: Rite Aid was in trouble, maybe even doomed, well before Walgreen's was interested.

Since bottoming at $9.31 just last year, Micron Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ:MU) has climbed, nay skyrocketed, 340% to its current perch of $41. What attracted me to Micron for today's highlight, aside from my desire to fawn over such a beautiful uptrending stock, was its high-quality price pattern forged in recent days. Unlike the lion's share of the market which is scheduled to report earnings over the next few weeks, MU has already stepped up to the plate (Sept. 26), knocked the cover off the ball and resumed its northward march.
