TOGETHER WITH MOOD
If you've ever struggled to enjoy cannabis due to the harshness of smoking or vaping, you're not alone. That’s why these new cannabis gummies caught our eye.
Mood is an online dispensary that has invented a “joint within a gummy” that’s extremely potent yet federally-legal. Their gummies are formulated to tap into the human body’s endocannabinoid system.
Although this system was discovered in the 1990’s, farmers and scientists at Mood were among the first to figure out how to tap into it with cannabis gummies. Just 1 of their rapid onset THC gummies can get you feeling right within 5 minutes!

TOMORROW’S TRADE IDEA, TODAY
The Most Wonderful Time of the Year
In the past, this time of year has been a good time to buy Apple (AAPL). That’s largely because the tech giant’s developer conference occurs this time each year, driving excitement surrounding the company.
According to Morgan Stanley (MS), around half of Apple’s outperformance versus the S&P 500 has happened in the three months following this conference.
A New Era
This year's conference was held on Monday. The tech company announced its entrance to the AI arena with its “Apple Intelligence” and an integration of ChatGPT into Siri.
According to D.A. Davidson, Apple’s AI plans represent a new era for the company. The new features are currently only available with the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max versions, so this could lead to a new round of iPhone upgrades.
Growing Expectations
As a result, analyst Gil Luria has raised his price target to $230 and upgraded Apple to a buy rating. That’s an 8% increase from yesterday’s close. He also raised his FY 2025 estimates above the Wall Street consensus, citing AI as a catalyst for significant growth.
Luria believes that the trust Apple has built with its customer base will allow it to deliver AI results that its competition can’t.
In a time when simply mentioning AI could boost a company’s stock, analysts are hopeful for Apple’s AI integration timeline and effectiveness. This, coupled with Apple’s historical performance following its Developers Conference, could provide investors with an opportunity.
