Today’s Meditation
“Do not be frightened, daughters, at the number of things we have to consider when we are beginning this divine journey, which is the royal road to heaven. The precious treasure to be gained in undertaking it may seem to us to cost us dearly, but the time will come, when we shall understand that everything is as naught in comparison with so great a prize.” —St. Teresa of Avila, p. 83

The daily examination of conscience is an ancient Catholic practice. It’s very simple, and it’s designed to help us identify our sins and weaknesses so that we can improve and grow stronger in the spiritual life, while providing an excellent ongoing preparation for regular Confession. It consists of taking a few minutes at the end of the day to prayerfully review our actions in the light of God’s commandments, followed by the Act of Contrition.
Reflect on the victories and losses
Actively reflecting on the high and low points of the day can help you live more intentionally and bring a renewed sense of resolve into the following day.
Review your actions, words, and thoughts today. Did you actively guard yourself against temptation? Where did sin creep in?
In what moments did you practice virtue and moral courage?
Were you attuned to the Holy Spirit’s promptings today? Where did you feel His inspiration?
Ask Him for the graces necessary to follow His Will more purposefully tomorrow.
Act of Contrition
O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee, and I detest all my sins because of Thy just punishments, but most of all because they offend Thee, my God, Who art all good and deserving of all my love. I firmly resolve with the help of Thy grace to sin no more and to avoid the near occasions of sin. Amen.
Practice gratitude
It is God’s love that has brought you into existence and to this exact moment. Practice looking for His hand in your day.
Where did you feel His loving gaze upon you today?
What people or moments helped you see God in your life?
Thank God for all these moments!
Ask Him to help you recognize His blessings and providence tomorrow.
Renew your commitment to Christ
Remember: our Faith is founded upon a Person—Christ! Renew your personal love and devotion to Him.
Thank God for the gift of His Son Jesus and our call to be His disciples.
Tell the Lord of your desire to know Christ more personally.
If possible, set an intention for your day tomorrow. Ask Our Lord to guide you in this act.
Pray a Hail Mary, Our Father, or another beloved prayer.
Rest with God

Tesla Inc (NASDAQ: TSLA) has just taken a step it’s been promising for years. It was reported last week that production of its long-awaited Cybercab is officially underway, moving the company’s robotaxi vision from concept to reality. On paper, this is exactly what long-term investors have been waiting for.
The timing, however, makes the story far more complicated. This milestone comes just days after an earnings report that doubled down on Tesla’s AI ambitions while offering little reassurance around its core business.
As MarketBeat highlighted last week, that leaves the stock caught between two very different narratives, one focused on a slowing present and the other on an ambitious but still unproven future. Let’s take a closer look at each one and see what impact the latest Cybercab update could have.
In case there were any lingering doubts, last week’s earnings report made it clear that Tesla’s traditional electric vehicle (EV) business is no longer firing on all cylinders. Instead, there’s a clear sense that its EV segment, which once drove so much growth and investor excitement, is actually facing mounting pressure.
Demand has softened, competition is strong, and margins are under strain. None of these issues is fatal on its own, but taken together, they create a backdrop that is far less supportive than in previous years. This is what the bearish camp continues to focus on.
For these investors, Tesla’s valuation and its triple-digit price-to-earnings ratio still need to be justified by real-world performance, and right now, the numbers aren’t doing enough heavy lifting. In other words, the business that built Tesla is no longer the one driving the story.
The Future: Huge Potential, Still Not Airborne
On the other side of the debate sits Tesla’s long-term vision, one centered on artificial intelligence (AI), autonomy, and a fully integrated robotaxi network. This is the Tesla version the bulls are buying into.
The potential here is enormous. If Tesla can successfully deploy a large-scale autonomous fleet, it could unlock a high-margin, recurring revenue model that fundamentally changes how the company is valued. This is no longer about selling cars, but about operating a global transportation platform powered by AI.
The challenge is that this future is still largely theoretical. Autonomy at scale has yet to be proven, regulatory frameworks remain uncertain, and the timeline for meaningful revenue contribution is unclear. Add in the significant capital required to build out the infrastructure, and the gap between promise and delivery becomes obvious. The upside is massive, but it’s not yet airborne. In fact, sticking with that metaphor, the plane isn’t even on the runway.
When the SpaceX IPO launches, most investors will already be too late. The real opportunity isn’t the IPO itself – it’s the infrastructure behind it.

While retail waits for a ticker that doesn’t exist yet, early money is moving into this supplier at a fraction of its potential value.See the small-cap stock powering the SpaceX buildout today
Cybercab: The First Real Bridge Between the Two
This is what makes the Cybercab announcement so important. For the first time, Tesla is not just talking about its robotaxi ambitions; it’s actually starting to build them. Production beginning is a tangible step forward and one that should instill some confidence in any investor who was losing patience.
It signals that Tesla’s committing real capital, real manufacturing capacity, and real operational focus to this strategy, which obviously bodes well for its other grand ambitions. As we head into the summer, Tesla’s Cybercab, embodying perhaps the grander hopes and dreams of both the company and investors, is finally a physical product moving through a production line.
At the same time, it’s important to keep this in perspective. Early production does not mean scale, and it certainly doesn’t mean success. Output will be limited to begin with, and the biggest hurdle, achieving reliable, scalable autonomy, has yet to be tackled.
What It Means for the Stock
For investors, this creates a uniquely balanced but potentially volatile setup, where the market’s effectively being asked to decide how much weight to place on each side of the story. The present remains under pressure, but the future is becoming more tangible. That tension is reflected in recent analyst updates, which are also beginning to shift in a meaningful way.
In the past few days alone, several of Tesla’s more cautious voices have started to soften their stance. Firms that were previously outright bearish, such as BNP Paribas and HSBC, have moved to more neutral positions, signaling that the worst-case narrative is losing traction.
At the same time, the bullish camp remains firmly in place, with multiple Buy ratings reiterated over the past week and price targets stretching beyond $520, targeting upwards of 40% upside from current levels.
Based on these updates, the skepticism isn’t quite all gone, but it’s clearly starting to crack. That makes last week’s Cybercab update much more than just a product update. It gives the bulls something tangible to point to at exactly the moment when the bears are beginning to lose conviction, and gives a taste of what might be possible if Tesla can keep the good news coming.

Editor’s Note:🔊 Prefer to listen? Tap here to hear today’s Digest.
One of Eric Fry’s favorite ways to play the AI infrastructure boom is in the middle of a double-digit pullback.
Is it time to buy the dip – or reevaluate the investment thesis?
Eric – our global macroeconomic investing expert and editor of The Speculator – has been making the case for copper as one of the most structurally compelling commodities. The reason is straightforward: every major theme reshaping the global economy – AI data centers, electrification, EVs, power grid expansion – runs through copper.
As just one illustration of the related demand, take today’s hyperscale data centers…
They’re essentially a copper-and-aluminum exoskeleton wrapped around racks of silicon. So, as the need for those facilities accelerates, so too does demand for copper. S&P Global sees global copper demand rising from roughly 28 million metric tons today to 42 million by 2040.
But supply is where things get complicated – and where today’s price action gets harder to read
Two disruptions are hitting simultaneously.
First, the war in the Middle East is rerouting cargo ships away from the Strait of Hormuz, creating bottlenecks and delaying copper shipments. And when supply temporarily shrinks, traders price in scarcity fast – spiking spot premiums, especially in import-heavy regions.
Second, Eric writes that beginning last Friday, China started restricting exports of sulfuric acid, a chemical essential to copper mining. That’s likely to constrain production at the source before actual shortages even materialize. Traders have been pricing in that risk.
The result this year has been a rally driven by two distinct factors – genuine demand growth and supply-risk stress. Eric suggests investors play both angles:
Because copper’s rally is being driven by two distinctive forces – genuine demand growth and supply risk stress – the best approach is to invest in stocks that win in either scenario.
On the demand side, the winners are energy and raw materials companies that benefit as copper gets consumed at record rates by AI infrastructure, power grids, and industrial expansion.
On the supply side, the winners are copper mines, whose profit margins expand when prices spike faster than their production costs.
The stock that sits at the intersection of both is Freeport-McMoRan Inc. (FCX) – the world’s largest publicly traded copper miner.
Eric has been trading it for years. Back in 2020, he put Speculator subscribers into call options on FCX, predicting a new “commodity supercycle” would send it soaring.
He was right. By July 2021, those subscribers closed their trade for a 1,000%+ return.
Which brings us back to the double-digit drawdown we mentioned at the top of today’s Digest – now hitting FCX.
Luke Lango predicts OpenAI will go public THIS YEAR… And that this is hands-down the best chance for you to achieve the biggest gains this year… and set yourself up for even bigger gains in the years to come. Don’t forget, Google’s IPO instantly created 900 millionaires. Nvidia minted over 27,000 millionaires—just among its employees. Luke believes OpenAI has the potential to launch even more million-dollar fortunes. And he’s so convinced of this predictionhe’s giving you a ticker symbol—for FREE, with zero strings attached—which you can use right now to claim a pre-IPO stake in OpenAI.
Is this a buying opportunity?
Two weeks ago, the copper mining giant hit a new all-time high.
But just days later, when Freeport reported earnings, it cut its 2026 copper sales guidance from 3.4 billion to 3.1 billion pounds due to operational setbacks at its Grasberg mine in Indonesia.
The market didn’t like it. Since its high, FCX has pulled back nearly 20%.
Is this a reason to turn cautious on FCX? Or a good entry point for longer-term investors?
Well, let’s start with the most important related question…
Has the structural story that made FCX compelling changed?
No. We still have a massive demand from the AI infrastructure buildout, and a supply side that can’t keep pace – either way, FCX wins.
Here’s Eric:
When demand spikes, FCX sells more copper into a strong market.
When supply shock hits, copper prices jump faster than FCX’s costs do, expanding margins either way.
Eric still holds FCX in his Fry’s Investment Report portfolio with subscribers sitting on 247% returns.
Here’s the twist many investors are missing today
The type of booms that create tailwinds for commodities like copper don’t always reward the companies that have spent billions on the infrastructure as the megatrend matures.
In fact, this pattern of “the builders don’t always win long term” has repeated across nearly every major technological shift in modern history. As Eric puts it:
The builders struggled. The appliers got rich.
The reason comes down to economics.
Builders face enormous upfront costs, constant reinvestment, and rising competition. As more capital floods in, returns get competed away. Margins compress. And even if demand ultimately arrives, it often shows up too late for early investors.
In Friday’s Digest takeover, Eric walked through the historical evidence (railroads in the 1800s, the dot-com fiber buildout) and explained why he believes that same shift is beginning to play out in AI today. It’s worth reading if you missed it, but here’s the short version…
Companies that didn’t build new technology infrastructure but used it were able to scale faster, operate more efficiently, and compound returns than the infrastructure build-out companies that carried the enormous capital burden of the buildout.
So, what’s an example of an applier poised to benefit today?
PayPal (PYPL).
Eric says it’s deploying AI within an existing payments ecosystem rather than building infrastructure from scratch, and that revenue per employee has surged more than 50% since 2022 as a result.
For a deeper dive into the winners and losers of this transition, Eric just released a special new broadcast that explains this shift
It highlights popular stocks could be at risk as the cycle evolves, and details which lesser-known “appliers” are positioned to benefit as the focus moves from building the technology… to putting it to work.
Now, to avoid confusion, FCX isn’t a builder in Eric’s framework – it’s not pouring tens of billions into data centers and chips. Rather, it’s supplying the raw materials that make the buildout possible.
Eric writes that the real builders are the hyperscalers: Alphabet (GOOGL), Amazon (AMZN), Meta Platforms Inc. (META), Microsoft Corp. (MSFT).
These companies look dominant today – and in many respects, they are. But history suggests that as the buildout matures, more capital floods in, competition intensifies, and the returns on that infrastructure investment get competed away.
So, keep timing in mind…
While the builders often outperform in the early innings, the question Eric is asking is who wins in the middle and later ones.
But not every “applier” is the kind Eric is recommending
This brings us to an important distinction – one our trading expert Jonathan Rose, editor of Masters in Trading: Live, has been focusing on.
Eric’s appliers are companies using AI to compound an existing competitive moat: a massive installed user base, proprietary data, or a dominant market position. AI makes a strong business stronger.
But Jonathan just flagged a handful of companies he’s bearish on that appear to be in the same applier category – but they carry far greater risk.
We’re talking about software businesses that are deploying AI, but they’re using it to try to defend a deteriorating model rather than extend a durable one.
The moat was already eroding before AI arrived. Today, AI is accelerating that erosion, and in some cases actively cannibalizing their revenue.
He flagged 12 names – with a combined market cap of $1.4 trillion – that he believes face substantial downside risk over the next 24 months.
Jonathan’s framework centers on four warning signals
He calls them the “Four Tells”:
Coordinated insider sales
Senior talent defecting to AI-native competitors
A pivot away from per-seat pricing toward consumption models
And CEO language that matches to every prior disruption cycle – the “AI augments, don’t replace” playbook.
And though the software sector has already suffered a painful drawdown in recent months, Jonathan believes there’s more to come:
The disruption isn’t done; it’s rotating.
We’ve watched this script before – Chegg, Teleperformance, Fiverr – and the pattern repeats.
I’ll give you three companies on Jonathan’s red-flag radar. The first two are Salesforce (CRM) and ServiceNow (NOW).
Salesforce is the dominant customer relationship management platform – the software that helps companies manage sales pipelines, customer data and marketing campaigns. For years, it was the gold standard of enterprise software.
Meanwhile, ServiceNow sells workflow automation software – the systems that route IT help tickets, HR requests and approval processes through large enterprises. It’s been one of the most beloved names in enterprise software for the better part of a decade
Jonathan sees both as risks to your portfolio as AI continues to proliferate.
The third company is likely to raise a few eyebrows…
It’s Palantir (PLTR) – one of the highest-returning stocks in the entire market over the last few years.
It has minted enormous returns for investors who rode it up and become something of a cult name in the retail investing community.
While its defenders will argue it’s one of the rare software names actually built for the AI era rather than threatened by it, Jonathan sees something else:
CEO Alex Karp and four senior officers filed sales on the same day at the same reference price — $205 million in coordinated insider intent.
Smart money inside is ringing the register.
When the people closest to the business are positioning for the exit in a coordinated way, Jonathan takes it seriously – regardless of the narrative.
So, how far could PLTR fall?
Jonathan’s model suggests it could be as much as 45%.
PLTR reports earnings today after the bell – they could already be out by the time you read this. If Jonathan reviews the numbers, we’ll update you here in the Digest.

Wrapping up
We have a simple through-line today…
AI is reshaping where value accumulates in the economy, and the winners aren’t always what the consensus expects.
Copper sits upstream of the buildout. True appliers sit downstream. And some of the most celebrated software names of the last decade may be caught in the middle – with AI eroding the very moats that made them great.
We’ll keep tracking all three dynamics here in the Digest.
Have a good evening,
Jeff Remsburg

Which is why he believes they will go down as Elon’s greatest-ever invention… his biggest ever disruption.
On July 22, Elon is expected to share this new venture with the world.
Once he does, this is going to be everywhere — from Fox Business to your family’s group chat.
Adams believes investors who get positioned before that date could walk away wealthier than they ever thought possible. Everyone else will be reading about it after the stocks have already run.
