Yep got fired yesterday including most of the headquarter after 9 years with the company 😶🌫️ (in Germany) and they did it in such a Musk kind of way. I am still in shock.
We bought $3 billion worth of fertilizer and platinum from Russia last year.
Now, what were you saying?
Yep. Sounds very similar to what people said about their cotton back in the 1850s.
Ah man....I'm sorry to hear that.. 😞
Not sure if it was mentioned anywhere, if so please correct me. But, shouldn't the tariffs affect the OEM costs/prices and NOT the MSRP prices? So if making an iPhone costs $200, but Apple Sells it for $800. Then the 50% or so tariff should affect the $200 price. So it's $300 now. And not the $800 price, turning it into $1200.
And I'm not defending this policy at all. But, it's even more indefensible for ANYONE to have to pay that much more for any product. It's not like we are all given a 50% raise to compensate for it. OR EVER WILL BE!!

Categorically different. He was deeply wrong and stupid as hell for the disinfectant comment. However, he is spot on and absolutely right for the tariffs.
Trump is proof that you can be incredibly stupid and incredibly right at different times on different things…much like most people in fact.
Thank you. Thankfully I just got my annual bonus and have a 3 months termination notice so I am still getting paid until the end of July 🙏🏼 not sure yet if I am taking their "offer" or to sue them.
Maybe rather then spending the $2300 on something you probably don’t need, might be a better idea to invest in the market while things are on sale….
That's correct. The tariffs are on the declared value at customs. The retail prices are set after that.
Here's a creative way to offset the impact of the tariff: Don't contribute to the re-election campaigns of the bastards responsible for the tariffs.😇😇 Get a different batch of politicians in office.🥳
How would Chinese tariff affect phones made in China and exported to the US? Tariffs are taxes on goods that's imported into a country, not exported from a country.Wondering what the cost would be if the opposite occurs and China removes all their tariffs? Sub $800 iPhone Pro Max?
Even if there is zero tariffs on the iPhone, the prices won't drop. Apple will always price the iPhone what the market will bear. Even if it only cost them $1 to make an iPhone, it will still sell at $1000 because that's what people are willing to pay.
I’m sure that’ll make all the difference in a collapsing economy
Have you identified when the bottom is?
Are you sure it's going back up?
Mass tariffs are something rarely done in history, because it doesn't work for anything but economic destruction.
In the coming market, you best just save your money.
We (wife and I, and kids by extension) will not be buying or upgrading ANY tech (phones included), cars, or appliances unnecessarily for the foreseeable future...more than likely, the next four years.
They are still $6-8/dozen (down for $8-1) for the store brand eggs here at Meijer or Kroger. I looked yesterday. We have chickens and are selling our eggs at $4/dozen.

No it’s a nightmare
I’m not trying to time the market but sure seems down to me. Historically, the market always goes back up. Might take awhile, but I have faith in the U.S.
It's called "trying to catch a falling knife"
Best of luck to you on timing the bottom and/or "time to buy"
Check out the 16 Pro Max prices in Canada below. This is in part due to the USD-CAD exchange rate but also due to higher taxes there. Trump just turned us into Canada's 11th province!
I hope people who voted orange are going to suffer.
Let me be clearer, I’m not trying to time the market. If you can’t see that stock prices are down, I don’t know what to tell you…moreover, my point was, in a down economy there’s probably better things one can be doing than buying unnecessary tech products.
You seem to not understand how the economy works. If Apple can’t sell products at a profit, why bother?
I see ... Let me be clearer..
Saying they are "down" implies the range, particularly the high end, in the future is known
You said the following
Saying "invest while on sale".
That sure sounds like trying to time the market, at least at some point.
How will you know "when to buy"?
Are you sure we are going back to sky high market numbers, that were largely seen as over pumped for years now?
Do you know the time horizon if so?
There is a lot of unknown needed context in situations like this.
Wish they’d drop as much as my 401k lol
Egg prices today have mostly normalized to where they were in December. They aren't $2 lower from "normal" prices.
