This week, investors will hear from iPhone maker Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) on Monday and social network companies Facebook Inc. (NASDAQFB) and LinkedIn Corp. (NYSE:LNKD) on Tuesday and Wednesday, with all three reporting after markets close.

If Apple reports a decrease in earnings per share for the third quarter, it will mark the fourth consecutive quarter the tech giant has reported a year-over-year decline in EPS.

The S&P 500 (INDEXSP:.INX) closed at a record high last week after getting a boost from technology companies, including Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) and Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN).
