Economic Summary

The jobs report disappointed and contributed to short-term equity selling, but commentators expect Fed cuts later in the cycle, which could support risk assets (implication: shorter-term volatility, potential medium-term easing if cuts materialize).
Bond yields have recently pulled back toward the top of their range (around 4%); debate centers on whether 10-year yields revisit sub-4% or head back toward ~4.25%, influencing equity vs. fixed-income allocation decisions.
Cloud and AI capex is accelerating: Alphabet plans ~$93 billion CapEx driven by custom chips (Ironwood TPUs), and a multi-hundred-billion backlog at big cloud providers (Amazon, Alphabet, Microsoft) is supporting semiconductor demand (benefits NVDA, indirectly DDOG, AMZN, GOOGL).
Auto/consumer-finance stress: rising auto-loan delinquencies among lower-end consumers and a weaker used-car market are pressuring CarMax (KMX), implying broader consumer vulnerability for discretionary cyclical names.
Market structure risks: algorithmic trading and stop-loss cascades can create outsized short-term moves (e.g., META selloff), producing dislocations that long-term investors might view as buying opportunities.

Bullish

Optimus robots provide large TAM, recurring revenue, and household adoption potential for Tesla
Datadog beating metrics and partnerships (OpenAI, AWS) support strong growth outlook
Meta viewed as a buying opportunity after one-time tax charge; strong cash generation
Google's Ironwood TPUs improve Alphabet's cloud competitiveness versus NVIDIA

Bearish

CarMax outlook weak with CEO exit and potential auto-loan problems
Costco's low margins (~3%) risk compression in recession and Amazon competition
Tesla robo-taxi thesis may not achieve mass adoption or profitability
Algorithmic selling can trigger rapid, outsized drops in large tech stocks

TSLA

Bullish

Optimus robots and recurring software/network services could create large new revenue streams and justify higher valuation.

Bullish

Center of the AI semiconductor boom; cloud/data-center demand and AI capex support secular upside.

Bullish

AI/Siri improvements and potential Gemini integrations reduce concerns about being 'behind' in AI features.
