So Apple just announced they're dropping a cool $600 billion on U.S. manufacturing over the next four years, and investors are basically doing cartwheels. The stock jumped 10% faster than you can say "Made in America."
Here's the deal: Tim Cook and Trump had a little press conference lovefest on August 6th, where Apple committed to another $100B on top of their previous $500B promise. They're also planning to hire 20,000 more Americans because apparently that's what it takes to avoid ...

So Trump just dropped a 100% tariff bomb on semiconductors, and if you're holding chip stocks, you're probably wondering if it's time to panic-sell everything and hide under your desk. Spoiler alert: it's not.

So here's the thing about tariffs that nobody wants to talk about: they're basically a tax on your morning coffee, your iPhone, and pretty much everything else you buy. But Wall Street? They're acting like the Tariff Fairy is going to magically appear and stuff $2,400 under every American's pillow to cover the extra costs.
Spoiler alert: I checked this morning. No fairy. No money. Just my regular pillow and a growing sense that someone's not being entirely honest about how ...
