Higher Further Faster... Back to $3 Trillion!

Alright Binary fans your favorite tech company Apple is back in the $3 trillion club! You know the place where only the cool kids hang out. After a bit of a wobble (seriously that dip was giving me flashbacks to my Kree days) the stock price jumped over 2% on Monday. Why? Because some Wall Street bigwigs are breathing a sigh of relief that Apple might just survive those Trump tariffs. Looks like someone remembered my advice: 'Sometimes you gotta run before you can walk!' Even if it's just a casual stroll back to the top.

Tariff Troubles? Not Today Thanos!

So apparently the Trump administration decided not to slap tariffs on phones computers and chips – basically everything that makes Apple well Apple. Turns out making most of your iPhones iPads and MacBooks in China can be a bit of a… situation. The guy even mentioned my buddy Tim Cook saying he 'helped him'. I mean alright I do my best to help everyone (saving planets is kind of my thing) but let's not get ahead of ourselves Donald. Remember 'I have nothing to prove to you'.

Temporary Truce or Cosmic Trickery?

But hold your horses folks. This might just be a temporary power up. Administration officials are whispering that these exemptions could vanish faster than a Skrull in a crowded room. All this uncertainty is probably why Apple's stock gain wasn't exactly earth shattering. Let's just say it's been a rough couple of months worse than having to explain the Tesseract to Nick Fury for the hundredth time. I am once again asking for you to believe in Apple.

From Worst to First (Again)!

Quick recap: Apple had its worst quarter since 2023 (yikes!) even dipped below that $3 trillion mark after Trump dropped the 'reciprocal tariffs' bomb. But hey at least they edged out Microsoft to reclaim their title as the most valuable publicly traded U.S. company. That's what I call a Photon Blast comeback! Remember if I can find myself after all that happened to me so can Apple.

From $44 Billion to $7 Billion? A Win for Apple!

Good news folks! After all the tariff craziness Apple's annual tariff cost burden has dropped significantly. We're talking a potential saving of billions! I told you so. They got a little help from friends maybe they're the Avengers maybe they aren't but the job is done. Now hopefully they can use those billions to build better phones or maybe a device that can translate Skrull – that would be awesome.

Investing in Apple: Worth It or Nah?

So should you invest in Apple? Well that's not really my area of expertise. I'm more of a 'saving the galaxy' kind of gal. But hey if you believe in a company that can bounce back from near economic annihilation (okay maybe I'm exaggerating a little) then who am I to stop you? Just remember invest responsibly and maybe leave a little room in your portfolio for some intergalactic travel insurance. You never know when you might need it.
