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 to 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 come coming, but just knocking it out of the park compared to everybody else. Alphabelt Google up 10 and a half percent 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 to start with. Fourth is Amazon. Amazon, the everything store, but also making a lot of the money through cloud services in other areas, up 7% year to date. Fifth 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 mean this a schadenfreude because I'm the hugest Elon Musk fan. SpaceX company is also down 17% year to date or 75% 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 in 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 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.
