Management noted strong demand for iPhone 15 Pro models, with the Pro Max seeing

## Integration

### With AI Agents

The agent will automatically use this skill when asked:
- "What is Apple's revenue?"
- "Compare NVDA and AMD"
- "What did the CEO say about guidance?"
- "Summarize Tesla's latest 10-K"
- "What are analysts saying about Microsoft?"
- "How did Meta's ad revenue perform?"

### Example Agent Flow

```
1. User: "How is NVIDIA doing?"
2. Agent: [calls search.sh "NVIDIA financial performance and outlook"]
3. Agent: "NVIDIA reported record Q3 revenue of $35.1B, up 94% YoY.
   Data center segment drove growth at $30.8B. Analysts maintain
   Buy ratings with average PT of $950. Key catalyst: Blackwell
   architecture ramp in Q1 2025."
4. User: "What about their margins?"
5. Agent: [calls search.sh "NVIDIA gross margin and profitability"]
6. Agent: "Gross margin was 75% in Q3, up from 70% YoY. Management
   expects margins to moderate to 73-74% as Blackwell ramps due to
   initial yield curves, per CFO commentary on earnings call."
```

### Combining with Other Skills

```bash
# Get financial data then execute trade
./scripts/search.sh "AAPL earnings analysis" && trade-signal query "Should I buy AAPL?"

# Research before news check
./scripts/search.sh "Tesla delivery numbers" && finance-news news TSLA
```

## Tips for Better Results

| Do This | Not This |
|---------|----------|
| "NVIDIA data center revenue Q4 2024" | "NVIDIA revenue" |
| "AAPL gross margin vs MSFT" | "Apple margins" |
| "What did Jensen Huang say about AI demand" | "NVDA CEO comments" |
| "Tesla deliveries Q3 2024 vs Q3 2023" | "Tesla cars" |

**Best Practices:**
- **Be specific** — Include timeframes, metrics, and company names
- **Use ticker symbols** — "AAPL" is clearer than "Apple"
- **Ask direct questions** — "What is..." or "How much..." get precise answers
- **Include context** — "last quarter", "FY 2024", "year-over-year"
