Wall Street Advances Apple to the Tech's Top Spot In September, 1997, shares of Apple computer were trading at $5.45. Last week's price was $244.11. That 600% increase, during the same period that rival Microsoft was growing by 5%, made Apple America's second largest corporation (after Exxon Mobile ) with market capitalization of $227 billion. Microsoft is now third with $219 billion. Was it all due to the return of CEO Steve Jobs? Tim Bajarin is a consultant with Creative Strategies and columnist for PC magazine.

The longest US war: Will Trump send more troops to Afghanistan? The Trump White House is divided over the Pentagon's request for more troops in Afghanistan—where the US has been fighting for the past 16 years. Is there a formula -- either for "victory" or a political settlement? Is there an end in sight for America's longest war?

Is the threat from Russia missing from the Russia meddling probe? There's much being made about the Trump administration's possible ties with Russia. But the bottom line is Russia's effort to influence American democracy. Do the President and his aides care enough to take action before voters go back to the polls?

Trump plays scolder-in-chief with NATO allies At the opening of NATO’s dramatic new headquarters in Brussels today, President Trump acknowledged that Article 5 — promising that “an attack on one nation is an attack on all” -- has only been invoked one time: in the aftermath of September 11.
