The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

finance.yahoo.com - Apple is back on trumps good side the cost billion

Apple (AAPL) on Wednesday announced it is increasing its US investment commitments over the next four years to $600 billion, tacking $100 billion onto the original $500 billion the company said it would invest back in February.

The tech giant revealed its latest spending plan during a press briefing in the Oval Office alongside President Trump, during which CEO Tim Cook presented the president with a glass plaque complete with a gold base, all made in the US.

The move comes after Trump threatened to place a 25% tariff on Apple’s iPhones made overseas and in the face of a potential 100% tariff on semiconductors.


How much more will he extort in the future?
How many other companies will do the same?

I guess central planning is good now.
