Apple, Amazon, Microsoft and Google will fuel the next rally

To build a fire — but not destroy the market by doing so. That’s the goal right now. It’s not as easy as in the famous Jack London short story (“Too Build a Fire”) where in the end the survivors profit rather than freeze to death in their sleep.

2023 may be the year the password finally dies. Following Apple’s announcement that Safari in macOS 13 and iOS 16 will support the standard, Google has announced that passkeys are now supported in Chrome Stable M108. Passkeys are a simpler and more secure login standard for websites that lets you use an encrypted key rather than a password to authenticate apps and websites.

Google: ChatGPT Is An Overstated Threat (NASDAQ:GOOG)

jittawit.21/iStock via Getty Images A hot new AI chat has a lot of investors fearful that Google (NASDAQ:GOOG, NASDAQ:GOOGL) is toast, but the market has forgotten that Alphabet has a more diverse business now. The stock remains remarkably cheap, falling below $100, with the potential dramatically boost profits via an increase to efficiency.
