Apple's (AAPL) recent teaser on social media from CEO Tim Cook, with the cryptic message "there's something in the air," has many speculating about new products on the horizon. To shed light on what this might mean, TechRadar Editor-at-Large Lance Ulanoff joins Asking for a Trend host Josh Lipton to share his insight into the potential devices Apple could release. "We've certainly been hearing rumors about the MacBook Air featuring the M4 chip for quite a while," Ulanoff says, explaining that the chip's debut in other Apple products makes it the perfect time for the MacBook Air to get the update. On Apple's artificial intelligence (AI) efforts, Ulanoff critiques their progress, giving the tech company a grade of a B-: "Look, this has been incredibly frustrating. You've got to think back, too. Apple was a leader right? It was Siri. They were first with Siri. It was actually before Alexa,right? And then Alexa came out and it became more popular as the digital assistant — and Siri kind of trundled along, got some brain transplants, has gotten incrementally better over the years. "But now in the AI space, right in in the AI revolution, we have three month update cycles, and we have been waiting a very long, like ten-month period, for Apple to fully deliver the thing they promised," Ulanoff adds.

This post was written by Josh Lynch Small caps are not the place to 'hide' right now Strategas Securities managing director of investment strategy Ryan Grabinski joins Market Domination Overtime to assess small-cap investment prospects as President Trump's sweeping trade strategy prepares to take effect tonight at midnight on March 4. Grabinski challenges current market (^DJI, ^IXIC, ^GSPC) expectations by pointing to historical precedent: During Trump's 2018 tariff implementation, small caps failed to deliver the outperformance many investors are now anticipating under this new trade regime. "It's hard for me to get on board with [small caps] now," he explains to Yahoo Finance. While acknowledging that small-caps are projected to outpace larger companies in earnings growth during the year's second half, he cautions that "they're not going to have the same boost they saw in 2017 to 2021 ... it's not exactly a great place to hide." Instead of betting on small caps, Grabinski recommends thinking about "industries that could actually benefit from the tariffs." He specifically highlights the insurance and utilities sectors as attractive investment opportunities.
