Apple shares lost 10% of their value. Then Apple announced plans to buy back $110 billion of its own stock. After that, Apple shares had their best day since 2022. There's a reason stock buybacks used to be considered illegal stock manipulations. They should still be banned.

Walmart announced hundreds of layoffs yesterday. But remember that the company has been hiking prices and raking in big profits. Its share prices hit a record high in March. The Walton family's net worth reached $267 billion this year. Textbook corporate greed.
