Ignore Jeff Bezos Going to Space. Tesla’s Elon Musk Is the Real Winner

Investors usually want to know what the most important story of the day is, the thing responsible for driving stocks with the potential to become an investing theme that drives returns for months or years.Jeff Bezos going into space is not that thing.Sometimes, that one big thing is obvious. On Monday, it was Covid-19. The S&P 500 dropped 1.6%. The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped more than 2%.
