Scott and Ed open the show by discussing the decline in existing home sales, Tesla’s earnings, the McDonald’s E. coli outbreak, and Shein’s deceleration in growth in the first half of the year. Then Scott explains down why he thinks, despite the disappointing earnings, Boeing could be a buy. He and Ed also discuss why the pension plan is the biggest sticking point in negotiations for the striking workers. Finally, they break down Perplexity’s latest funding round and Ed explains why he’s not so bullish on the company.
