Gene Munster on tech: ‘not out of the woods yet’
This morning on CNBC’s “Squawk Box”, Loup Ventures’ Gene Munster said Apple’s results will likely be strong, just as Microsoft’s last night, but agreed that the big tech wasn’t out of the woods yet.

He, however, remains bullish for the long term and expects 2023 to again be a great year for the mega cap technology.
