Apple Cites Tariff Costs: Would You Catch the Falling Knife?
Apple shares fell sharply by 5% after CEO Tim Cook warned of uncertainties surrounding tariff-related costs. Despite beating earnings expectations, Cook stated on Thursday that it remains "very difficult" to predict tariff costs beyond June. The company estimates that tariffs could increase its costs by $900 million for the current quarter alone, assuming no additional policy shifts. Apple closed at $205.35 on Friday, marking a 3.74% decline from the previous trading day. The 52-week range was $169.21 to $260.21. While some investors might view this as a buying opportunity, I remain cautious. Personally, I’m not ready to "catch the falling knife" just yet. Apple (AAPL) Why I’m Not Buying — Yet Tariff Uncertainty Is a Real Risk A $900 million cost burden is not insignificant, especially if

Amazon Beats, But Conservative Outlook: Will Tariffs Drag it Down Further?
Amazon delivered a strong Q1 earnings report. But despite this solid performance, the company issued a cautious outlook for the current quarter, reflecting macroeconomic uncertainty, competitive pressures, and tariff-related risks. While the stock closed at $189.98 on Friday — down from recent highs — I’m not yet tempted to buy. Tariffs: The Unseen Threat to Margins and Consumer Behavior While Amazon doesn’t manufacture most of the products it sells, it is deeply embedded in global trade flows through its retail marketplace. Tariffs, particularly those imposed on Chinese imports, have the potential to increase product prices for U.S. consumers — especially in categories like electronics, household goods, and clothing. If Amazon passes those increased costs onto consumers, its price-sensiti

Singaporean Banks: Calm in the Eye of the NIM Storm
Margin Pressure? Hardly a Crisis It’s no secret that net interest margins (NIMs) are under pressure. Rate cuts loom, yield curves have flattened, and the golden age of interest-driven profits may be fading. Yet when I examine Singapore’s banking trio—DBS, UOB, and OCBC—the word resilient still comes to mind. These banks aren’t scrambling; they’re pivoting. And I believe investors expecting a sharp fall from grace may be underestimating their balance, diversification, and dividend discipline. Resilience, not panic, in the face of falling margins Let’s start with the big one: $DBS Group Holdings(D05.SI)$. Yes, its NIM is forecast to decline from 2.13% in Q4 to around 2.05% in Q1, but its loan volume and non-interest income remain strong, and its d

The U.S. Borrowing Crisis and the Economic War with China

Trump’s Strategy: Tariffs and Tax Cuts Former President Donald Trump’s strategy to bring manufacturing back to the U.S. relied on two major levers: tariffs and corporate tax cuts. The goal was simple—make it more expensive to produce abroad, and more profitable to build at home. In 2017, Trump slashed the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%. Now, a n

What is the breakdown of the shipping lead time? What is our tariff playbook?
This is an article that I have shared on other social media platforms to explain how shipping works. This does not target any business, but it provides an understanding of shipping from China to America. What key activities are involved when an order is placed to import products from China to America? Below is a summary of the lead time breakdown for importing goods from China (Shanghai) to the U.S. West Coast (Port of Los Angeles), followed by a table listing each activity, its estimated lead time, key documentation, and considerations. (This was done with help from Grok LLM.) Some of the activities can run in parallel or be completed within the same day. For example, the receipt of the booking confirmation in the morning can allow the “export” container to be collected in Shanghai in the

2 Magnificent Artificial Intelligence (AI) Stocks to Buy in May and 1 to Avoid
Two industry-leading AI stocks are historically cheap and begging to be bought, while another highflier -- up more than 1,700% since 2023 began -- won't live up to the hype surrounding it.For much of the last two-and-a-half years, the bulls have been in firm control on Wall Street. While a confluence of factors is responsible for lifting all three of Wall Street's major stock indexes to new heights in 2024 (and early 2025 for the $S&P 500(.SPX)$ ), it's the evolution of artificial intelligence (AI) that stands head-and-shoulders above other catalysts.The broad-stroke excitement with AI is that it allows enabled software and systems to reason and act on their own.
