Apple's Rotten Luck? Maybe Not! (Giggity)

Trump's Tariff Tantrums! (Freakin' Sweet)

Alright alright settle down you bunch of Stewies! So word on the street – and by street I mean the alley behind The Drunken Clam – is that Apple's been having a rough time. Apparently Trumpy poo decided to slap some 'reciprocal' tariffs on everyone like it was some kind of 'Liberation Day' for… tariffs? I dunno sounded like a bad joke to me. Anyway Apple's stock went down faster than I can chug a Pawtucket Patriot Ale after Lois tells me I can't watch TV. Giggity!

India to the Rescue? (Hehehe...Hot)

But hold on to your hats folks! (Except for you Mort you never wear a hat.) Apparently Apple's thinking of moving their iPhone making gig to India. And get this Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent (whoever that is – sounds like a character from Star Wars) says we might get a sweet trade deal with India soon! Which is good because those 26% tariff rates are about as welcome as a visit from my mother in law. It's no China's 145% but still! It's like that time I tried to make a sandwich but I used my feet and then Brian judged me. Still tasted alright though!

Show Me the Money! (And the Jobs!)

JPMorgan (not to be confused with JP Morgan a completely different family) says Apple should keep throwing money at America too. Ya know to make Trumpy poo happy and bring all those jobs back. Apple's already promised to drop $500 BILLION in the US over the next four years! That's enough to buy a lifetime supply of chicken wings… and maybe a yacht for Quagmire. Giggity! Wait where was I? Oh yeah money!

Wall Street's Crystal Ball (Spoiler Alert: It's Probably Wrong)

Those fancy pants analysts at Morgan Stanley (sounds like a law firm for pirates) are saying Apple's stock is gonna go up! They're predicting a price target of $235 per share. Apparently Apple's the 'most underowned megacap in the world'. Which I guess is like saying I'm the most underappreciated genius in Quahog. Anyway they think good stuff is coming. So basically do opposite of what they say. It's the law of the market like that time when I bought all that betamax stocks and thought I'd be rich.

Apple's Secret Weapon: AI? (Maybe It Can Explain My Taxes)

And get this Morgan Stanley did a survey (who's answering these surveys anyways?) and apparently everyone's super jazzed about Apple's AI system 'Apple Intelligence'. That's good because I'm still trying to figure out how to work my smart fridge. I can't wait til it will be so intelligent it will file my taxes!

The Bottom Line: It's All a Big Maybe (Just Like My Diet)

So what does it all mean? Well basically it's all up in the air like a kite in a hurricane! We need to see what happens with these tariffs in China. Then we'll know if Apple's ship is finally sailing smoothly... or sinking faster than the Titanic. In the meantime I'm gonna go eat a bucket of fried chicken and ponder the meaning of life. Oh and maybe check my Apple stock. Wish me luck! Giggity giggity goo!
