Benzinga's Bulls And Bears Of The Week: Apple, Boeing, Facebook And More

• Benzinga has examined the prospects for many investor favorite stocks over the past week.
• This week's bullish calls included tech giants and a top biotech.
• An aerospace giant and the electric vehicle leader were among the week's bearish calls.

This past week was a busy one, leaving investors much to ponder as the month of July concluded. After congressional testimony from big tech chiefs, followed by big tech earnings, and after a mixed view from the Federal Reserve, corporate surprises and shakeups and a historically bad gross domestic product report, the Nasdaq and the S&P 500 managed to end the week with small gains, while the Dow Jones industrials pulled back fractionally.
