For tech investors, the annual Macworld trade show kicks off Tuesday with a keynote speech by a top Apple official -- but not Apple CEO Steve Jobs. The announcement last month that Jobs would forego his traditional opening remarks sent Apple's stock tumbling as worries resurfaced about Jobs' health. This is also the last Macworld Apple plans to attend.

The sector gets a doubly whammy of product news next week as Microsoft Corp., Cisco Systems and other tech heavyweights head to Las Vegas for the annual International Consumer Electronics Show.
