Week 117 – NR – Amazon, Alphabet, Twitter, And Microsoft Earnings

This week's episode is entirely devoted to Q3 2017 earnings reports which were released this week from four big companies: Amazon, Alphabet, Twitter, and Microsoft.

We'll likely do a deep dive on Apple earnings among other things in our next episode. The show notes below include links to all these stories on Tech Narratives and original sources as appropriate.
