Do you remember Moderna $MRNA ???
Moderna beats estimates but slashes guidance on low EU sales, competitive U.S. vaccine market. It is down -20% today and -79% from its covid all-time-high. Moderna: "Net product sales for Q2 24 were $184M, reflecting a 37% YoY decrease. This reduction aligns with the expected shift to a seasonal COVID-19 vaccine market.." Moderna had $241M in total sales in Q2 and $1.6B in total operating expenses. Adding interest income, they burned $1.27B in one quarter. Cash on balance sheet is down to $2.47B. I fully expect expect them to do large capital raise to dilute shareholders. Source: JaguarAnalytics, The Transcript

The difference between the MEDIAN and the MEAN CUMULATIVE returns of US stocks since 1926 is amazing...
As mentioned by @SpencerHakimian on X: "Stock returns are so skewed to the 4% of stocks that are responsible for all equity market returns that have occurred in the past 100 years. Statistically, it is virtually impossible to outperform an index over time since you would have needed to specifically own the tiny percentage of stocks that beat the index, and specifically avoid the vast majority of stocks that underperformed the index. Individual stock picking turns investing from a positive sum game to a negative sum game. Index investing is like being the casino. Individual stock picking is like being the gambler".

Under the surface, the US equity market looks stronger than before...
This might be counterintuitive to many investors who got hurt this week on their large-cap growth positions, the market looks actually healthier than it was a few weeks ago...As highlighted by the great J-C Parets, there are plenty of new all-time highs everywhere: DJ Industrial average, S&P 500 equal-weight, Mid-cap 400, etc. A mentioned by J-C Parets, we just saw the most amount of stocks on the NYSE above their 200 day moving average that we've seen this entire bull market. We also saw the most amount of stocks on the NYSE and the Nasdaq hitting new 52-week highs that we've seen this whole bull market. You can go sector by sector and you'll see. Source: J-C Parets
