It’s not that I didn’t see this coming. No one gets rich without occasionally feeling poor, right? Investors have been cashing out left and right after months of what can only be described as crypto euphoria—a phase so intense it made people forget their passwords to Coinbase accounts while simultaneously naming their newborns Satoshi. And then there’s Tesla. Oh, Elon Musk, you enigmatic trickster. The company sold off 75% of its Bitcoin holdings in Q2, which has sent ripples through the market faster than my cat knocks over a glass of water when she thinks I’m ignoring her.

A spark of triumph illuminated the quarter, as the company’s earnings, like a well-tended flame, outshone the expectations of those who had cast their bets upon the scales of doubt. This luminosity, however fleeting, lifted the stock by 7%, a brief dance with the heavens before the weight of earthly concerns settled once more.

Central to the analyst’s thesis is Yeztugo, Gilead’s pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) medication for HIV-1, which has emerged as a focal point in an expanding market. Physician surveys cited by Needham suggest a 49% compound annual growth rate in the PrEP sector through 2030, with Yeztugo projected to capture 38% market share—a figure exceeding current consensus estimates.

Picture, if you will, the economic landscape as a ponderous sea, beset by squalls and surges. Amidst these tempests, GM, ever the audacious navigator, reported commendable second-quarter earnings on July 22, rather like a ship piercing through a turgid wave. Yet, lurking in the shadows of success, the omnipresent specter of tariffs looms formidable. Indeed, a staggering 45% of GM’s vehicles—a veritable flotilla—sailed into the American harbor from foreign shores, most notably Mexico and South Korea, thus exposing them to the unrelenting tide of import tariffs.
