The Motley Fool discusses what Facebook, Apple and GT Advanced Shareholders Need to Know

Last week was a busy one in the tech sector.

Facebook (META -10.56%) CEO Mark Zuckerberg talked about his plans for the company's $19 billion buyout of WhatsApp, while Apple (AAPL 0.52%) announced its much anticipated next product event will take place on October 16th. This wasn't the only Apple-related news as GT Advanced (NASDAQ: GTAT) shocked investors with an announcement that the Apple sapphire supplier is filing for bankruptcy and GTAT shares cratered on the news.
