Jim Cramer makes the case for why Apple and investors should stick with CEO Tim Cook
Jim Cramer says he's still backing Apple 's Tim Cook despite calls for the CEO to resign. "I really believe in Tim," Jim said at Friday's annual meeting of the CNBC Investing Club from the New York Stock Exchange. "He's made us a lot of money. He gets the benefit of the doubt." Responding to a question from a member who asked whether the Club would consider trimming the stock if Apple cannot turn things around, Jim also addressed the Street's list of concerns about the tech giant, including last Tuesday's announcement that COO Jeff Williams, 62, will retire later this year. Williams was the No. 2 executive at Apple. A day later, LightShed Partners analyst Walter Piecyk called for Apple to replace Cook. Piecyk did credit the 64-year-old CEO for an amazing job navigating the iPhone era, but said Apple now needs a product-focused CEO. Piecyk told CNBC's "Fast Money" last Wednesday evening that the idea of Apple needing new leadership is not new among institutional investors. "It cannot miss out on AI," LightShed wrote in its note to clients. Jim recently advocated for Apple to buy AI start-up Perplexity as a solution to getting back in the game. "They screwed up the AI. Jeff Williams is retiring. Luca Maestri, the great CFO, is gone. The new CFO [Sabih Khan] is young. They're right now lacking innovation. A lot of people feel that Vision Pro [headset] is a bust," Jim said. "There isn't anything that they are doing right, right now, according to people," he acknowledged. But in a show of faith, Jim kept Apple stock as one of the Club portfolio's 12 core holdings , alongside artificial intelligence winners Amazon , Meta Platforms , and newly crowned $4 trillion market cap stock Nvidia . Apple's shares have been feeling the weight of shaky investor confidence, with the stock down nearly 16.5% year to date. Unlike other tech companies following the tariff-driven April lows, Apple has been slower to recover. Currently trading around $209, the stock would have to see an upside move of roughly 19% to get back to its record-high close of $259 on Dec. 26, 2024. AAPL YTD mountain Apple YTD It's undeniable that Apple is up to its eyeballs in problems, with AI being one of those at the forefront of investors' minds. Earlier this year, the company delayed its rollout of an AI-powered conversational Siri, helping fuel naysayers who are upset with its failure to catch up in the AI revolution. To add more flames to the fire, Apple lost a top AI executive , Ruoming Pang, to Meta last week. Furthermore, the company has been a direct target of the Trump administration, which has publicly criticized Cook for a lack of urgency in moving iPhone production back to the U.S. Despite having shifted some production to India, most of Apple's phones are still made in China. But either way, President Donald Trump wants iPhones made in America, which could more than double the price tag of the device. "It is painful to hear people going for [Cook's] head or that it's time for him to change," Jim said, as he questioned whether investors have forgotten the "thousands and thousands of percentages" in profits that the company and Cook have made them. "As long as this [iPhone] is remarkable. As long as this [iPhone] is indispensable, we're going to own the stock," Jim said. (Jim Cramer's Charitable Trust is long AAPL.

Dow futures drop 200 points on Sunday after Trump slaps 30% tariff on Mexico and the EU: Live updates
Traders work on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on July 11, 2025 in New York City. Spencer Platt | Getty Images U.S. equity futures slid on Sunday evening as Wall Street contends with continued tariff risks and second-quarter earnings on deck. S&P 500 futures lost 0.5%, while Nasdaq 100 futures dropped 0.6%. Futures for the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 204 points, or 0.5%. On Saturday, President Donald Trump said the U.S. will impose 30% tariffs on the European Union and Mexico starting Aug. 1. Leaders of the EU and Mexico indicated that they intend to keep talking with the Trump administration this month in an attempt to agree on a lower rate. The announcement comes ahead of inflation readings this week, which will give investors a better sense of how the Trump tariffs already in effect are being felt throughout the economy. "Inflation is here with tariffs. It's just a question of who eats it. Those companies that have pricing power means that consumers are going to eat it. Those companies that don't have pricing power means that companies are going to eat it via a cut in their profit margin," Peter Boockvar, chief investment officer at Bleakley Financial Group, said Friday on CNBC's "Fast Money." Sunday's move in futures comes after a negative week for stocks, although the major averages are still near record highs. The S&P 500 dipped 0.31%, its first negative week in three. The Dow fell 1.02%, breaking a three-week win streak. Meanwhile, the Nasdaq Composite inched down 0.08%, snapping a three-week winning streak. Earnings season is set to ramp up later in the week. Major banks, including JPMorgan Chase, will deliver quarterly reports starting Tuesday. Another potential factor for investors to monitor is the rift between the Trump administration and the Federal Reserve. On Sunday, National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett told ABC News that President Trump can fire Fed Chair Jerome Powell "if there's cause." Trump officials are probing the costs of renovation of the Federal Reserve's main building in Washington, D.C., while the president has repeatedly criticized Powell for not lowering interest rates. The central bank has pushed back against some of the criticisms of the renovation project. Equity futures were lower when trading resumed on Sunday evening in New York. Dow futures were down 200 points, or about 0.5%. — Jesse Pound U.S. President Donald Trump speaks to reporters as he departs for travel to Texas to tour areas affected by deadly flash flooding, from the South Lawn of the White House in Washington, D.C., U.S., July 11, 2025. Jonathan Ernst | Reuters President Donald Trump on Saturday said that Mexico and the European Union will face a 30% tariff rating starting Aug. 1. This continues the trend of Trump releasing letters announcing tariff rates unilaterally, and hits two of the United States' biggest trading partners. Leaders of both Mexico and the EU indicated that they plan to continue talking to the Trump administration ahead of Aug. 1 and are looking for a lower rate. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said Sunday the EU would delay its own tariffs, which were set to take effect on Monday, the Associated Press reported. — Jesse Pound, Erin Doherty

Shameful secrets surface during White Lotus-esque minibreak
New releases include Kayte Nunn's destination thriller Pelazzo and Fast Money about the multi-billion-dollar business behind Formula One racing. Caroline Reid & Christian Sylt. Hodder & Stoughton. $34.99. "F1 may seem like it's purely a sport but actually it's a high-octane tax-avoidance vehicle for its owners and it is all entirely legal," the authors write in the preface to this book that explores not just the Netflix-fuelled popularity of grand prix racing, but the multi-billion-dollar business behind it. F1 generates breathtaking amounts of revenue and profit, but it is also hideously expensive for teams to race, let alone win. As its subtitle promises, this book reveals "the backroom deals, corporate espionage and legendary power struggles" from the Bernie Ecclestone era to the drivers who are household names today. Lynne Olson. Scribe. $37.99. The Nazi concentration camp Ravensbruck, hidden in a forest north of Berlin during World War II, has been described as the camp that history forgot. It was designed specifically to house women. Four of those women, Germaine Tillion, Anise Girard, Jacqueline d'Alincourt and Genevieve de Gaulle (niece of General Charles de Gaulle) - all heroes of the French Resistance and all captured by the Gestapo - formed a tight-knit group and miraculously survived. Olson's book explores not just the bond between courageous women united in a battle to survive hell, but also the long-overlooked contribution that women made to the resistance movement. Michael Pembroke. Hardie Grant. $37.99. Trade and war shape nations and empires. Silk Silver Opium examines the fraught history of China's trading relationship with the West - a relationship that moulded not only global commerce, but the distrustful attitude of modern China. For centuries the world's silver drained towards China as mercury runs towards a plughole. Traders clamoured to buy first silk, then the mysterious Chinese ceramic, porcelain, then tea - the drink that took Britain by storm. The balance shifted when the British began smuggling opium into China and silver began to travel in the opposite direction. Then came conflict and humiliation. China has never forgotten. Allan Mason. HarperCollins. $34.99. People of a certain age will remember watching with glee when media titan Kerry Packer appeared before a parliamentary inquiry in 1991 and eviscerated the political stuffed shirts. "Of course I am minimising my tax," he growled. "And if anybody in this country doesn't minimise their tax, they want their heads read ...". Allan Mason worked for Packer, and the mogul gets a number of mentions in this updated fifth edition, a guide to making money and keeping it. Put another way: we are all playing the money game, but only some know the rules, and fewer know the tricks. Kayte Nunn. HarperCollins. $34.99. This White Lotus-esque destination thriller puts you poolside with a prosecco as a murder mystery plays out at the luxurious Palazzo Stellina in the foothills of the Italian Alps. Newly widowed beauty entrepreneur Vivi Savidge is hosting her 40th birthday getaway at this grand old former convent. Vivi's guests include her artist sister, Alice, who's flying from Brisbane with her teen twins in tow, ex-colleague Pete and new husband Nick, who are coming from Boston, and old uni friend Caroline, who's driving from Turin. Everyone is hiding a shameful secret that will simmer under the summer sun until the jealousy and greed turn deadly. Nightshade Michael Connelly. Allen & Unwin. $34.99. In his 40th book, bestselling author Michael Connelly, creator of Harry Bosch, Mickey Haller and Renée Ballard, introduces a new character: Detective Dave Stilwell. Once assigned to a homicide desk on the mainland, Stilwell has been exiled to the quiet post of Catalina Island. Routine calls and minor crimes fill his days until a body is discovered, wrapped in plastic, at the bottom of the harbour. As the investigation unfolds, Stilwell navigates murky jurisdictional waters. The case leads him to question whether Catalina's calm exterior hides something more dangerous and whether his new posting is as peaceful as it first appeared. Mark Brandi. Hachette. $32.99. Fresh out of jail, country boy Tom Blackburn has left behind his old life and name but he's not sure about his future. Sleeping on the streets is the quickest way back to a cell, so he jumps at the offer of a job that includes a place to stay. Can a bit of gardening and gravedigging in the peace and quiet of a cemetery in the dead centre of Melbourne keep him out of trouble? Or will buried secrets come back to haunt him? This lyrical crime thriller is the fifth novel by Mark Brandi, who debuted in 2017 with the acclaimed Wimmera. Rachel Gillig. Orbit. $32.99. The first book in the new series by the author of globally renowned gothic romance saga The Shepherd King follows Sybill Delling, a diviner at Aisling Cathedral, who predicts the futures of those who pay handsomely. But the omens that determine fate are not what they seem. As she nears the end of her 10-year service, Sybill's fellow diviners begin disappearing one by one. With a heretical knight who does not believe, Sybill sets out to discover what's happening. Expect sharp wit and elegant prose as two wounded souls collide in a beautifully refined fantasy set in a hauntingly gothic world.
