New outbreaks picking up steam - 80 new measles cases reported by CDC this week - double last week. A few hundred more and 2025 will be the worst year for measles since we got rid of measles!

- Tesla sales in Europe for May look better than April, but still down YoY and still down for the quarter - Norway was an outlier, up YoY but mostly due to a bad May 2024 comp - still down compared to May 2023 Not a growth stock!!

40 more measles cases reported this week, as many as the last two weeks combined. Still pretty low compared to earlier, but this outbreak clearly isn’t over.

Weekly unemployment claims higher than expected at 240k and continuing claims hitting new high. Finally starting to see effects of Trump admin? Now how will tariff pause effect? (But still have headwinds of: govt layoffs, tourism downturn, student loan restarts, deportations, section 232 tariffs)

Only 40 new measles cases the last two weeks. Outbreak appears to be petering out. Second most reported cases this century. Could easily become the most with a new outbreak before the year ends.

TSLA stock almost closed back over $300 last week, despite sales continuing to drop. This feels like the part in the Big Short where mortgages started to default and their worthless bond packages went UP in value before the crash
