Apple Becomes the Anti-AI Trade

As investors rotate out of chip stocks and question the AI spending boom, Apple is suddenly standing out for what it has not done.Mike Armstrong and Paul Lane discuss the continued selloff in tech and semiconductor stocks, Apple reclaiming the title of the world’s most valuable company, and why its slower approach to artificial intelligence may be helping the stock even as valuation and input-cost concerns remain. They also break down the retirement math many people miss, including rising housing, insurance, healthcare, dental, and long-term care costs. Plus, they look at whether AI customer service is ready to replace human workers, why Starbucks is still struggling to revive growth, and why companies like Cracker Barrel keep turning to older executives when a turnaround gets messy.
