| 🚗Last night I covered Tesla's first-quarter earnings call. Any business reporter who's been on a Tesla call can tell you that it's unlike any other corporate earnings call.

| 💡 INSIGHT OF THE DAY: A little risk can go a long way. If you invest $300 a month in bonds at a 4% interest rate, you'd have $342,000 after 40 years. If you invest the same amount in stocks at an 8% rate, you'd have $932,000 after 40 years. Does that mean you should put all your money in stocks? Probably not. Consider diversifying your portfolio by investing in a mix of the two to give yourself the upside of stocks and the stability of bonds. |

| Is it just me, or does it seem like there's always some sort of dispute going on among all the TV streaming, broadcast and telecommunications companies? |
