Starbucks recently reported their 6th consecutive quarter with same store sales declines. Not great news, right? But suppose Starbucks “answer” was to fire their head of financial reporting for simply doing their job. That’s effectively what just happened to Erika McEntarfer at BLS. #EconSky $SBUX

Among Tesla’s problems is that they have lost their cachet. They used to be a status symbol; the price of entry was a way of showing you were both affluent and environmentally aware. Now that your neighbor’s 20-something kid can afford one, people might actually wonder if you’re struggling. $TSLA
