Apple just celebrated its 50th birthday with a Nasdaq bell-ringing ceremony at Apple Park and a performance by Paul McCartney. The optics were perfect. The AI strategy? Not so much. Former insiders are saying it out loud now: Apple had a five-year head start with Siri, launched in 2011, and squandered it. "Apple basically blew a five-year lead," said Walt Mossberg, the legendary tech columnist who covered the company for decades. Siri co-founder Adam Cheyer was more diplomatic, but the message ...

Arm Holdings Just Became Cramer’s Latest Winner — And He’s Rubbing It In

Jim Cramer loves being right. And when it comes to Arm Holdings (NASDAQ:ARM), he's been right for a while now — and he's not letting anyone forget it.

Cramer Says This Stock Holds the Key to the Second Half of 2026

Forget interest rates. Forget the Fed drama. Jim Cramer just dropped a hint about what's going to drive the second half of 2026, and it's heavy equipment you can smell from a mile away. Caterpillar (NYSE:CAT) is up 134% over the past year and 19.8% year-to-date. The stock is on a tear, and the catalyst isn't construction — it's data centers.

New Memory ETF Launches—And One Pro Says It’s Time to Sell

There's a new memory-chip ETF on the market, and one veteran trader says it's a warning sign, not a buying opportunity.

Apple at 50: Playing Catch-Up in the AI Race It Once Led

Apple just turned 50, and the birthday party at Apple Park came with an awkward subtext: the iPhone maker is playing catch-up in AI. The company that launched Siri in 2011 — five years before Alexa or Google Assistant — somehow lost the thread. Former insiders and industry veterans say Apple "blew a five-year lead" by letting Siri stagnate while rivals built massive AI infrastructure. Now Apple's licensing Google's Gemini AI to power a rebooted Siri, flipping the script: instead of ...

The Middle East conflict hit aluminum twice: First, attacks on Emirates Global Aluminium and Aluminium Bahrain knocked out roughly 10% of global supply. Second, soaring energy costs are crushing production costs worldwide. Aluminum smelting is electricity-intensive, and when power prices spike, margins evaporate for everyone except producers with cheap, stable energy. Alcoa gets 87% of its smelting power from renewables — ...
