Beyond AI: How Apple’s Tencent Alliance May Spark a Year-End Rally to $300

$Apple(AAPL)$ Apple has taken another decisive step toward reinforcing its dominance in the world’s largest smartphone market — China. After more than a year of behind-the-scenes negotiations, Apple and Tencent have reached an agreement that could reshape digital commerce inside China’s most important social platform: WeChat. Under the new arrangement, Apple will oversee in-app transactions within WeChat’s mini-program ecosystem and collect a 15% commission on mini-game spending and virtual purchases. While this is lower than Apple’s traditional 30% App Store cut, the target market is enormous — WeChat hosts more than a billion active users and processes trillions of yuan in digital transactions annually. This raises a timely question as Apple’s s

Apple Intelligence: A Faltering Start and the Threat of Losing Ground

Apple's much-anticipated entry into the generative AI race with Apple Intelligence has been marred by initial stumbles and underwhelming execution, raising serious investment concerns.

To me, Warren Buffett $Berkshire Hathaway(BRK.A)$ $Berkshire Hathaway(BRK.B)$ represents long-term conviction and simplicity in investing. His decision to step down feels emotional yet fitting — the close of a legendary chapter. What I admire most is his discipline and integrity, showing that great investing is about patience and character, not chasing trends. I see this as the start of a steady new phase for Berkshire. Greg Abel has long embraced Buffett’s philosophy, and the company’s DNA — prudence, patience, and diversification — remains intact. With strong cash reserves and solid businesses, Berkshire is built to last. I still hold Apple $Apple(AAPL)$
