  • In 2024, the "Magnificent Seven" (Apple, Nvidia, Microsoft, Google, Amazon, Tesla, and Meta) grew by 65% and was responsible for 57% of the S&P 500's gain. This was a decrease from 2023 when they soared 111% and made up 65% of the S&P's gain. *1
  • Breakfast meals have become more expensive lately. One culprit is the price of eggs. The price per dozen eggs is now $5.77, up 146.6% from 2023.  A recent outbreak of Avian flu reduced the laying hen population by 3% (or 10 million hens). 2
  • Despite a 6.1% stock drop last week, Tesla is now worth $1.2 trillion, more than the next 20 largest automakers combined! Tesla's shares trade at 117 times projected earnings, significantly higher than Nvidia and other tech giants. *3
  • 17.6% (or 3.7 million BTC) of the entire supply of Bitcoin is estimated to be lost. This is a significant portion of Bitcoin, which is likely inaccessible due to lost keys or forgotten wallets. 4
