Shell Flags Weak Trading Performance in Volatile Second Quarter
Oil prices swung wildly in the period, sinking to a four-year low in April as US President Donald Trump unleashed his global trade war and OPEC+ boosted supply, then spiking last month as Israel struck targets in Iran. They have since retreated below $70 a barrel.

Sequoia Partner Maguire's Posts on Mamdani Spark Founder Petition
A growing list of startup founders are circulating an open letter to Sequoia Capital urging the prominent venture capital firm to take action against one of its partners, Shaun Maguire. The letter, which had more than 520 digital signatories as of Monday afternoon, follows a July 4th post on X in which Maguire referred to New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani as an 'Islamist.' Maguire, an avid X poster best known for his investments in SpaceX and xAI, claimed in the controversial X post that Mamdani 'comes from a culture that lies about everything' and is willing to lie 'if it advances his Islamist agenda.'

Stock Movers: Lululemon, Tractor Supply, First Solar
On this edition of Stock Movers: Lululemon (LU): Lululemon falls as President Donald Trump unveiled the first in a wave of promised letters that threaten to impose higher tariffs rates on key trading partners, including levies of 25% on goods from Japan and South Korea beginning Aug. 1. It comes after the president said he has reached an agreement with Vietnam, a key country for the athletic wear manufacturer, late last week. First Solar (FSLR): First Solar falls after Congress has set fast phaseouts for most of the Inflation Reduction Act's signature clean energy tax credits. But while credits for sales of electric vehicles and home solar and storage face strict cutoffs by the end of this year, utility-scale wind and solar power projects can potentially hit a narrow six-to-12 month window that could buy them much more time — and subsidies — all the way into next decade. BloombergNEF expects to see developers rush to try to hit that window. JPMorgan analyst Mark Strouse says that while amount of tax incentives was reduced compared to the Inflation Reduction Act, the Big Beautiful Bill act "is materially better than feared" for clean energy. Tractor Supply (TSCO): Tractor Supply Co. gains as much as 2.6%, rising to the highest intraday level since April, after adjusted sales observed by Bloomberg Second Measure rose 4.3% in the second fiscal quarter. It's one of the few companies expecting sales to grow with tariff uncertainty based off pet food sales.

This 1-Year Sam's Club Membership (Auto-Renew) Drops to Nearly Free, a Cheap Alternative If Costco Is Too Far
Life is pretty darn expensive. In fact, it's getting pricier by the day at the moment, at least for a lot of us, and that means that it's really important to find ways to not only save money on luxuries that help keep us all sane, but also on daily essentials. That can be a lot harder to do though, but there are some really easy ways to get those savings going, and one of those is with a good warehouse membership. See at StackSocial Sam's Club is a membership-only retailer that stocks a huge number of products in just about every category you can think of. Everything there is picked for its quality, which means that you can rest easy knowing that you're getting the good stuff. While the idea of a membership can be daunting, right now you can get a one-year membership with auto-renew for just $20. It'd normally cost you $50, so being able to save 60% straight away makes it even easier to get your money back fast. There are some important terms for this one. Current members can't use this deal, and neither can those who've been members in the last six months. However, if you're outside of those two categories, then this is an excellent way to get a membership for cheap. From then on, all you need to do is go to your nearest Sam's Club warehouse and get shopping. You'll be able to check out a huge number of things from daily groceries and good to bigger purchases like electronics and appliances. You can even get clothes from these warehouses, making this an incredible way to get a little bit more for your money, no matter what you're looking for. That just helps every dollar you spend go further, and when prices are rising as they are at the moment, that's an incredible value proposition. It's not the most exciting purchases you're likely to make, but that doesn't change the fact that being able to save more money is going to help a lot, especially if prices keep going up. We really do think this is a great deal at $50, so the chance to save 60% on it and get it for just $20 is the kind of deal that shouldn't be missed. Just make sure to have a good read of the StackSocial page and check where your nearest store is before committing, just in case it doesn't fit your needs. See at StackSocial
