Apple (AAPL) Losing Pace as Experts Say China Can Change Everything

Image
For the first month of the year, the stock market has clearly been cautious regarding Apple. The iPhone developer has failed to live up to its market value and has been ragging relative to the competition. Yet, despite Apple (AAPL) seemingly losing pace with the overall tech sector, experts say that China holds the keys to changing everything. The company has struggled with a plethora of bad news abounding its operations in 2025 so far. Moreover, with US President Donald Trump implementing a series of tariffs abroad, it is facing increased questions. However, there could be a turnaround coming, and its potential lies in the hands of that key market.

Image
Despite the company’s slow start to the year on Wall Street, Nvidia (NVDA) is expected to rebound, according to investment bank UBS. Indeed, the institution called the ongoing fears for the stock “overblown” as it projected the company’s revenue to hit the $9 billion mark. There is little argument that the AI chipmaker left 2024 as the biggest winner. Increasing more than 170% last year, there were high hopes that it could continue, if not exceed, its performance over the next twelve months. Although it has failed to live up to those expectations today, that may be changing.

The math behind MicroStrategy's bitcoin bet

MicroStrategy (NASDAQ:MSTR) was yesterday’s most-traded stock on US stock markets — and will post similarly spectacular numbers today. Opening for trading 13% higher than yesterday’s close, within an hour MicroStrategy had turned over 30 million shares of volume, dwarfing its full-day average of 19 million. The company owns 331,200 bitcoins worth over $32 billion and could be buying more during today’s session. As of mid-morning, its market capitalization was $103 billion — a 3.3 multiple on its bitcoin holdings. The company has announced financing to purchase tens of billions of dollars more. Behind these numbers is a massive, non-public market for privately negotiated share offerings and corporate debt. MicroStrategy’s acquisition of bitcoin is fueled by leverage. It has two primary instruments for raising capital: selling shares or bonds. Below is the context to understand the math behind these two instruments as they apply to MicroStrategy today. ...

Here’s how much George Soros lost on his Bitcoin bet by selling MSTR stock early

Image
Best known for his bets against the British pound and the Thai baht and for having a wide array of conspiracy theories linked to his name, the billionaire and Holocaust survivor George Soros has had multiple run-ins with cryptocurrencies – and Bitcoin (BTC) in particular – in recent years. As recently as the first quarter (Q1) of 2024, the Hungarian-born investor had substantial exposure to BTC through MicroStrategy (NASDAQ: MSTR). Specifically, Soros had approximately $250 million worth of MSTR assets, most likely stemming from the company’s two offerings in March. While it is difficult to gauge the exact investment mechanisms used – particularly due to the put and call options present in the final trimester of 2023 – it is almost guaranteed that the billionaire was in the green on the overall bet thanks to MSTR stock’s remarkable rally at the start of 2024, and that he missed out on even greater gains by selling sometime in Q2 of 2024. ...

R. Kiyosaki warns dollar savers they’re in ‘serious trouble,’ here’s why

Image
Amid his continuous warnings about the looming financial collapse that he believes will strike the United States, as well as the rest of the world, Robert Kiyosaki has recently issued a word of caution to people saving money in U.S. dollars, telling them they are in “serious trouble.” Indeed, the popular investor and author of the best-selling personal finance book ‘Rich Dad Poor Dad’ opined that dollar savers were in trouble, as he discussed the economy with Miles Franklin Precious Metals founder Andy Schectman for an episode of The Rich Dad Channel on August 14. Why dollar savers are in trouble According to Kiyosaki, the USD “gave the power to the stock market to go through the roof, and when they talk about the bubble, the three-times bubble, it’s stocks, paper assets, real estate, and the dollar is going to crash,” and he has warned people with savings in the American fiat currency: Picks for yo...
