The focus now? Whether deals with the EU and Japan land in time. Trumpās message? āTake it or leave it.ā
š Tesla drops as Elon & Trump start arguing again, whatās next?
Teslaās moment of truth lands Wednesday morning. With Q2 production and delivery numbers on deck, traders are bracing for a 5% swing in either direction. Shares just dipped nearly 5%, sliding to $303, fueled by tension between Elon Musk and Trump over his āOne Big Beautiful Bill.ā, which Elon has once again criticized.
ā¬ļø Powell confirms that the Fed would have cut by now were it not for tariffs

Invest & Strategies
šØ How to avoid FOMO
FOMO isnāt just about hype, itās wired into us. We naturally follow people who seem like us, which is why investment trends spread fast. Marketers know this, flooding inboxes when gold or crypto surges. But just because itās working for someone else doesnāt mean itās right for you. Stick to your strategy if it fits your goals, you donāt need to chase every hot tip.
šļø How to Make Money in Real Estate
The real estate secret? Donāt sell. Ben Carlson shares that successful investors, especially baby boomers, tend to buy and hold, largely to avoid taxes. Two-thirds of boomers have stayed in their homes for 16+ years, sitting on $17 trillion in equity. With high transaction costs and low mortgage rates locked in, thereās little incentive to move. Long-term ownership wins in real estate.
š Whatās Better Than U.S. Bonds for Downside Protection?
For decades, U.S. Treasury bonds were seen as the safest bet in a volatile market, but that narrativeās shifting. After a brutal 30% drop in 2022 and a Moodyās credit downgrade, even seasoned investors are rethinking bonds as the go-to hedge. Are they still the best fallback, or is it time to diversify your downside protection?
š Wednesday is last day to claim Apple Siri settlement money
July 2 is your last shot to claim part of Appleās $95 million Siri privacy settlement. If you owned a Siri-enabled device between Sept. 2014 and Dec. 2024, you could get up to $20 per device, maxing out at five. That includes iPhones, iPads, Macs, and more.
