Benzinga's Bulls and Bears: AMC, Apple, Philip Morris, Ford and Elon Musk's "Demon Mode"

Benzinga has reviewed the outlook for many investors' favorite stocks over the past week. Here's a look at some of our top stories.

The S&P 500 and the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) ended the week on a high note, with gains of 0.69% and 2.08% respectively, marking the second consecutive week of gains. The DJIA also recorded its 10th consecutive positive session on Friday, its longest winning streak since August 2017.

However, the Nasdaq fell 0.57% during the week and the market saw increased volatility as approximately $2.3 trillion in derivative options contracts expired. Looking ahead, traders are cautious due to the upcoming Federal Open Market Committee meeting, with expectations of a 0.25% rate hike already priced in, but uncertainty remains over the Fed's future plans.

Benzinga provides daily reports on the most popular stocks with investors. Here are some of the most bullish and bearish messages from the past week that are worth revisiting.
