Shocking. Imagine the largest economy in the world placing tariffs in such an AI/Dumb way that France and Reuinion (a tiny French overseas territory) getting different rates.. or putting a tariff on Diego Garcia, a tiny atoll that is literally just a US Navy base. It's almost a comedy, if it wasn't so ruinous.

The turning on the adjacent burner and leaning your face onto it. This was disastrous with the Tariff of Abominations and it was disaster with Smoot Hawley. Every hundred years or so.

It's hard to understand Tesla's stock price.

Earnings per share attributable to common stockholders (past 12 months, non-diluted) is $1.74. The stock currently trades for $284.95. The P/E ratio of 163 implies tremendous growth. But their Q1 revenue is down 9% year over year, their gross margin percentage is down, while their operating expenses are up. And, without getting into politics, the CEO has spent the past few months alienating the core demographic for their product.

I realize Tesla has been overvalued based on "traditional" metrics for several years now, but the stock price has only increased since their terrible Q1 results were released.

For clarification, my job has me working directly with Build a Bear for over 20 years. I have nothing but great things to say about them, I am not unbiased.

But numbers are numbers. LOL

When we first got the business, I didn't 'get it'. But it didn't take long for me to see what they had.

But after Covid, I thought they would be done. Nobody would be going to malls anymore. I updated my resume for the 1st time in over a decade because if we lost them as a customer, I would likely be gone as well.

But they pivoted from selling to kids to selling to adults for kids and that did the trick. Since Covid they've gotten on every Carnival Cruise Ship, they are in every Sea World , every Great Wolf Lodge and every Kalahari Resort.

Get the parents trapped on a ship or at a resort, and you increase the chance of sales so much. Great marketing.
