Apple Jumps 6%! Time to Go Long With Exemption?

Just as the U.S. government announced a tariff exemption for smartphones, computers, and other electronic products—interpreted by the public as a breather for the semiconductor industry—a White House official revealed that the U.S. is now drafting special tariff measures. President Trump stated on Saturday that more information will be released on April 14. Apple shares rose 6% in pre-market trading. Is Apple’s crisis over, or is a second dip still ahead?

$Apple(AAPL)$  yes crazy trump
$Apple(AAPL)$  I usually buy the bad news and sell the good news since trump take office :) I would suggest to buy and hold. Average down when you need to. Will help to build your portfolio 
$Apple(AAPL)$ ​Apple's recent 6% stock surge, driven by temporary U.S. tariff exemptions on Chinese electronics, has reignited investor interest. However, this relief may be short-lived, as officials suggest additional tariffs could follow. Analysts remain cautious, citing potential renewed tariffs and global economic uncertainties. While Apple's $110 billion stock buyback plan and sales growth forecast have bolstered confidence, the company's heavy reliance on Chinese manufacturing and exposure to geopolitical tensions pose ongoing risks. Investors should weigh these factors carefully before making long-term commitments.

Apple Stock Decline Is It A Buy Now or Hold?

$Apple(AAPL)$ Apple Stock Is Finally Pulling Back — Is It Time to Buy? Apple stock is finally coming down, and it’s catching everyone’s attention. As of now, Apple is down 23% year-to-date and more than 17.5% over the past few months. This is one of the most significant pullbacks we’ve seen in a long time for what has traditionally been a market darling. And like many of you, I’ve had my eyes on Apple for years. But here’s the thing—I’ve never owned it. Why? Because it was always too expensive. Every time I looked at the fundamentals, the valuation just didn’t make sense to me. I skipped it over and over again, thinking “maybe next time,” and yet the stock kept going up. Year after year, it continued to trade at increasingly higher multiples, gett

$Apple(AAPL)$  In a market starved for positive headlines, Apple just delivered a juicy 6% rally, fueled by renewed optimism that it may be granted tariff exemptions amidst the ongoing U.S.–China trade tensions. As one of the most heavily watched and widely held stocks globally, Apple’s bounce has everyone asking the same question: Is it time to go long? Let’s break it down. The Catalyst: A Glimpse of Relief News broke that Apple is likely to receive exemptions from newly imposed tariffs on Chinese imports—a move that could protect its profit margins and stabilize its supply chain, both of which have been under pressure throughout recent quarters. While full details of the exemptions are still being finalized, invest
No. Stay liquid. Stay watchful. Be patient. The '90 day tarrif reprieve' is just a distraction to existing uncertainty and only increases risks for those who jump in. Trumps mess is far from over, regardless of final decisions on tariffs... Buying opportunities are there,but only if part a wider defensive strategy.

$Apple(AAPL)$  Apple of the Eye... Back in Focus? 🍎👁️ Remember that market earthquake? Apple's stock, usually the apple of every investor's eye, took a sharp dive after the tariff announcements. We saw a shocking 19% plunge in three days, a freefall not seen since 2001. Shares tumbled from $223 to $175, erasing $700 billion in market cap. Even with some recovery, things looked shaky. But here's the game-changer: Trump's decision to exempt electronics, including smartphones, from the tariffs. This significantly alters the landscape for Apple. Why is this crucial? Because the primary fear driving the stock's decline was the potential for tariffs to drastically increase production costs, impacting iPhone prices and dema

$Apple(AAPL)$  it was not worth it before any increase in Price. Very little innovation or improvement. Overpriced non smart phone. Can't compare to many good android phones. Even Xiaomi ultra is so much better. This just expose wat Apple deserve to be. Stock price cut is deserved. 
Considering Tariffs and All: If the iPhone Were 30% More Expensive, Is It Still Worth It? In today’s global economy, tariffs and trade tensions can directly affect the price of tech gadgets — and few products are more globally beloved (and debated) than the iPhone. Imagine if, due to increased import duties, taxes, and currency shifts, the iPhone cost 30% more. Would it still be worth buying? Let’s break down the value proposition — and whether Apple’s iconic device still justifies its premium in such a scenario. ⸻ 1. Understanding the 30% Hike A 30% increase is not insignificant. An iPhone 15 Pro, for instance, currently priced at around $999, would shoot up to about $1,299. For the Pro Max variant, you’d be looking at close to $1,600 — nearly the cost of a high-end laptop. So, the centra

Tariffs are good, is it time to buy Apple and Nvidia at the bottom?

According to the latest news from CNBC and other US media on the 12th, according to the latest guidelines of US Customs, smartphones and computers will not be affected by the Trump administration's "reciprocal tariff" policy.The new tariff guidance also includes exemptions for other electronic devices and components, including semiconductors, solar cells, flat-screen TV monitors, flash drives, memory cards, and solid-state drives used to store data.
