Chapter 2: Why did Tesla's stock jump nearly 18%?
This is Scott Becker with the Becker Private Equity and Business Podcast. Today's discussion is five stories that we're following this week and this weekend.

We'll have a different podcast on that. Second, Clarity of goals and purposes is one big critical key to success. This is as important as almost anything, and then the ability to execute on those goals. But clarity of what you're trying to accomplish is so, so important. And again, another discussion, don't listen to the naysayers.
Third, the markets jumped this past week as President Trump brought the temperature down on each of the tier of discussions and then discussions of terminating Federal Reserve Chairman Chairman Powell. So that was a good week in the markets. Fourth, the S&P is now down about 6% year-to-date, and the S&P is down nearly 10% year-to-date, but it could be a lot worse.
Finally, fifth, T-Mobile got crushed last week and dropped more than 11% on Friday on a perceived softening outlook for this year. Thank you for listening to the Becker Private Equity and Business Podcast. Thank you very, very much.
