Alrighty Then! Apple Shares: Are They Magnificent or Just Monkey Business?

Shikaka! Another Apple Update?

Greetings Earthlings! Ace Ventura Pet Detective and now… Wall Street analyst? Not quite but I'm on the case! Seems like these 'Fast Money' traders are all a twitter about Apple. Jefferies gave Apple a little love tap upgrading them but some folks are still seeing storm clouds. Dan Nathan says Apple's lacking an AI strategy which is like a dolphin without water – tragic! He thinks they're gonna miss out on a whole year of product cycle. Can you smell that? It smells like...opportunity...or maybe just my ferret's breath.

Hold On! Tariff Troubles Brewing?

Jefferies bumped Apple to a 'hold' and raised their price target citing folks pulling in demand 'cause of tariff jitters. Tariff Jitters?! Sounds like a bad case of the boogie woogies! They also think Apple's gonna have a good June. Well alrighty then! Let's hope it's better than the last time I had a 'good June' – involved a skunk a tuba and a very angry poodle. Long story.

Magnificent Seven…Or Just Six?

Karen Finerman isn't feeling the Apple love either. She calls it her 'least favorite' of the 'Magnificent Seven' stocks. Magnificent Seven? Sounds like a spaghetti western only with more spreadsheets. Apparently Apple's supply chain is giving them the willies. Crosshairs? That's never good unless you're aiming at a rogue raccoon eating out of your garbage can.

China Syndrome and Tim Seymour's Take

Tim Seymour thinks all the bad news surrounding China and tariffs is already baked into the Apple pie. But he's worried about Apple's multiple. Multiple problems? Tell me about it! Try explaining to a flock of pigeons why you accidentally dyed them all blue. Let me tell you it's not pretty! Still Tim's trying to be a 'glass half full' kinda guy. Good for him! I prefer my glass full of… well never you mind.

Holiday Cheer and Market Tears

Despite all the hand wringing Apple shares jumped 6% during the holiday shortened week. Boo yah! But they're still lagging behind the rest of the 'Mag Seven.' Looks like someone needs a pep talk! Maybe a little 'Chitty Chitty Bang Bang' to get those engines revving! Apple reports earnings on July 31st. That's the day we find out if they're gonna 'release the hounds' or 'allllllrighty then!'

Nature Calls: Is Apple's Stock in the Green?

So what's the verdict? Is Apple stock a golden goose or a… well you know. It's complicated! Lots of opinions lots of speculation. One thing's for sure I gotta go! Nature calls! And when nature calls you gotta answer! Just try not to answer in a crowded elevator. Trust me on this one. Stay tuned folks! This is Ace Ventura Pet Detective signing off! Hasta la vista… or until the next animal emergency!
