For this week’s first story, the hosts chatted about the impending merger between Liberty Interactive —the owner of TV shopping network QVC—and Home Shopping Network . Liberty Interactive is already a minority owner of HSN, but the two companies will now fully merge in an effort to combat the increased pressure from Amazon (AMZN - Free Report) .
Maddy and Ryan also discussed Nvidia (NVDA - Free Report) , one of Wall Street’s most popular stocks, and the company’s new partnership with Chinese internet giant Baidu (BIDU - Free Report) . The two companies will work together on a plethora of new artificial intelligence projects, underscoring the importance of the emerging AI market.
Next up was the initial public offering of meal-kit delivery company Blue Apron . The hosts took some time to talk about the “kit economy” and Blue Apron’s business model. Nevertheless, it’s been a rough first week of trading for the company, and shares have already dipped below their IPO levels.
Finally, the featured story of the week was Tesla’s (TSLA - Free Report) recent downturn. After hitting an all-time high in late-June, the stock quickly plummeted more than 15%, marking a rare down period for this perpetually soaring company.
After missing vehicle delivery estimates and losing safety credibility, Tesla has lost some of its steam. Should investors be worried?

Will You Make a Fortune on the Shift to Electric Cars?
Here's another stock idea to consider. Much like petroleum 150 years ago, lithium power may soon shake the world, creating millionaires and reshaping geo-politics. Soon electric vehicles (EVs) may be cheaper than gas guzzlers. Some are already reaching 265 miles on a single charge.
With battery prices plummeting and charging stations set to multiply, one company stands out as the #1 stock to buy according to Zacks research.
