Benzinga's Bulls And Bears Of The Week: Amazon, Boeing, Kroger And More

• Benzinga has examined the prospects for many investor favorite stocks over the past week.
• This past week's bullish calls included an e-commerce colossus and some surprises.
• An aerospace leader and a supermarket operator were among last week's bearish calls.

As the third-quarter winds down and the presidential election heads for the home stretch, market volatility was still a major theme last week. The big U.S. indexes ended marginally lower for a week that saw the latest Federal Reserve commentary, the unveiling of the latest products from the iPhone maker and the electric version of America's favorite vehicle, as well as the latest in the ongoing TikTok saga.

Also, Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg passed away at week's end, no doubt heralding further political upheaval and market uncertainty.

As usual, Benzinga continues to examine the prospects for many of the stocks most popular with investors. Here are a few of this past week's most bullish and bearish posts that are worth another look.
