This is Scott Becker with the Becker Business and the Becker Private Equity Podcast. I want to thank you for listening. We're going to have an offer at the end of this podcast which basically offers you 100 hours. If you text me and tell me whether you like the cadence of the podcast. No more than one to two a day. Whether you like when I add in episodes about golf and my struggles in life and problems, or whether you rather I just stick to business and stocks and those kinds of things. First one it text me 773 and and gives me their feedback. We'll send you 100 hours. Thank you for listening. So here's today's discussion. Today's discussion is Lululemon, Lucid Motors, Bitcoin and Oracle. So here's these four and I'll just give you a few quick takes on these four. First, Oracle, last year was the bell of the ball. It's now down 16% or so year to date. This is being recorded as of Monday, Tuesdays. By the time you hear this, that number might have changed some, but at the end of the day, down about 16% year to date. So far, it's given up most all its gains from when it was on fire last year and Larry Ellison was the most famous person in America. Second, Bitcoin opens this week at 77,500. It's down about 33%, 31% over the last six months. At one time, Bitcoin was so on fire that everybody thought they were getting rich from bitcoin. But that's slowing down a little bit and we'll see how it goes. Third is Lululemon. They've again had a recent leadership change. Lulu is just getting crushed. It's down about 57% over the last year. I at one point was an avid Lulu shopper, and I know that's a little embarrassing for a man, but it is what it is. But it's now it's just really hard to go in there. There's nothing exciting, there's nothing interesting. There's. They've got to refine their vibe, refine their merchandising. Just awful. And finally, Lucid Motors, which was always the smallest of the big three electric vehicle makers after Tesla and Rivian Lucid Motors, they're just getting crushed. They're down about 56% over the last year again, as Lulu is struggling to merchandise Lucid. My Motors remains completely stock. It's too small for a car company. This is another business where size does matter. You need to have scale. You got to sell enough vehicles to get your average cost down down per vehicle and lucid continues to get crushed being the smallest of the spot. In any event, thank you for listening to the Becker Business, the Becker Private Equity Podcast. You'll hear this on Thursday morning. We hope you enjoy it. Love your feedback. 1007-7376-6532-5322. If you're the first person to give me serious feedback on the episode and the cadence of episodes and whether you're okay if I throw in the periodic episodes where I talk about how bad my golf game is. Thank you for listening to the Becker Business and the Becker Private Equity Podcast. And thank you today to our all star producer, Chanel Bunger. The best in the business. Thank you very, very much.
