You know, this is one of those topics that no one really wants to think about. But if you're a parent, a homeowner, married, or helping take care of aging parents, it's something that honestly deserves a little attention. I'm talking about estate planning.

this is Scott Becker with the Becker Business and the Becker Private Equity Podcast. Today's discussion is first to worst the Magnificent seven. So here's what we have for you today. These are the results of the Magnificent seven year to date from who's performed best, who's performed worst. I'll start with the first. Maybe we'll mix up the order a little bit, maybe we won't. But Apple's up about 22% year to date. I don't think many people saw that coming, but just knocking it out of the park compared to everybody else. Alpha belt Google up 10.5% year to date. Again really performing well. Nvidia itself up 8.75% year to date. Also having a good year given how big its market gap is. Just start with fourth is Amazon. Amazon, the everything store, but also making a lot of the money through cloud services and other areas up 7% year to date. 5th Meta Platforms Facebook was up for a long time, then really struggled, now eking its way back down 2.3% year to date. Elon Musk's company Tesla down 50% year to date. And again, I don't read this as schadenfreude because I'm the hugest Elon Musk fan is SpaceX companies also down 17% year to date or 17 half percent year to date. So Tesla down 15% year to date. SpaceX was just not magnificent 7 down 17.5% year to date. Finally worst. Didn't see this coming it's one of the stocks, of course, that I'm an investor and is Microsoft. Microsoft is down 18.5% year to date. That's its own debacle. It is what it is. Hopefully that improves, you know, Bill Gates having a tough year both as the biggest Microsoft, you know, maybe owner still. Plus in a situation where he's gotten really tied up in this, you know, Jeff Epstein thing. Jeffrey Epstein thing. We did a podcast last week on the Bromance is Over about Warren Buffett and, and Bill Gates, but never dull. Thank you for listening to the Becker business and the Becker Private Equity Podcast.
