Tech Five: Investors await Apple's announcement

Will Wall Street finally get the next innovative product from Apple it's been waiting for? Let's look at the tech stocks to watch Tuesday:

Apple. The tech giant hosts an event this afternoon, where it will not only announce a new iPhone, but likely its first smartwatch. Investors have been waiting for Apple to unveil a fresh device that will generate the same buzz as the iPhone and iPad. Shares of Apple have steadily risen over the past year, topping $100 in late August. Apple's stock price is currently above $99 in pre-market trading.

Activision. It's a big day for the video game publisher. The company launched first-person shooter Destiny, which was developed by the creators of the Xbox's blockbuster Halo series. Analysts predict Destiny could follow in the footsteps of Activision's Call of Duty as another billion-dollar video game franchise.

Amazon. Yet one more sign consumers seem cool to the Fire Phone. Weeks after launch, Amazon has already discounted its first smartphone, offering it for 99 cents with a two-year contract. Amazon is also lopping off $200 from the prices of its 32GB and 64GB models if you buy without a contract.

Facebook. The social network says it is clocking in a billion video views per day, reports Re/code. Also, views from videos shared by friends jumped 50% from May through July.

Salesforce.com. The cloud company announced a $100 million fund for attracting startups to develop mobile apps and connected devices for the company, reports TechCrunch.
