It's time to check the investments made by Apple CEO, Tim Cook, in a segment that Macalope likes to call …
TIM investments.
(Yeah, he just invented that, but would it kill you to play?)
As long -standing readers of this segment will remember (Shh), the Macalope community provides this as a free service At the CEO of Apple, Tim Cook, to help him better analyze the performance of his many investments. Sometimes it is as large as a flea manufacturing plant in Southeast Asia, sometimes as small as an electric toothbrush that it bought in Walgreens. (This toothbrush was terribleBesides.)
This time, we are going to examine somewhat an investment that Tim made earlier this year to a certain inaugural fund of the incoming president. For one million dollars. Do not spoil the end, but we will see that a million dollars do not go as far as before.
A million dollars are not much money for the nations or for Apple or even for Tim Cook, who has donated the amount of his personal chests (not many people know it, but Tim keeps all his funds in real boxes). But it is an amount of good size for an individual inaugural donation. Macalope, for example, has given much less. He did not give any dollar (only because the negative amounts were apparently not eligible, which represents money representing freedom of legal expression).
Whatever the optics (“morality” is such a loaded word) to try Curry favor (“bridge pot” is such a dirty word) with the highest politician in the country, it does not seem that Tim had a lot of return on his investment.
Let us review the events of this week through the magic of the headlines.
“Tariff News, April 2, 2025: Trump reveals scanning samples in the commercial policy policy”
You might think that Apple would have obtained a special cup for $ 1 million from Tim Cook, but it was January! It is always in time that is delighted with palm! What did you give lately?
What do these prices for Apple mean, you know, the company of which Cook is CEO?
“An Apple iPhone of $ 2,300? Trump prices could get there”
And these are not foldable phones. These are regular flat phones. Although at prices like that, you could make one in two angry.
How does the company react?
“How Apple 'stole 5 flights full of iPhones from India and China in 3 days to beat Trump prices”
This is how the market is supposed to work, right? The invisible hand puts iphones on the plane … Then it flies the plane? Sorry, the macalope must have been sick this week from the business school.
IDG
But wait! This is not all the bad news for Apple! What other Did Tim get a million dollars?
“Apple plunges 9%, leading a technological sale”
And this title was last Thursday. When writing these lines, Apple's shares have been down more than 18% since the prices announced, much like the rest of the market.
Just … don't look at your 401 (K). Continue looking at these Pokémon cards that you have never opened and that you are still in perfect condition. It's your real nest now. And whatever the internal organs you need to sell. Family members who are not necessarily your favorites. Your soul. This kind of thing.
Everything will be fine. It will be fine. We will be fine. Do you know who else will be fine? Surprise twist.
See, the macalope has left aside a title that goes Before These others.
“Apple CEO, Tim Cook, sells actions worth 24 million dollars”
It must be nice.
The problem in these situations is that once you turn on the favors full of favors, all you can do is maintain the flow during execution. Good luck, Tim, Tim.
