"Market playing full-on defense again," Dennis said in the Stock Trader Network Think Tank Wednesday night. "AI stocks down 3-5% across the board [but] SPY barely down because stocks like Apple (AAPL)." Rotation, rotation, rotation ala Microsoft's (MSFT) Steve Ballmer in that one internet meme.

Tesla (TSLA) investors, traders and fan boys and girls will also be eagerly awaiting the unveil event for the long-anticipated Roadster.
