MedX Health Corp. Names John Gevisser as Chief Executive Officer
Mr. Gevisser previously held the position of Chief Digital Officer at Health Partners Group, the United Kingdom's largest provider of occupational health services, where he led the company's technology and data strategy. He also oversaw their strategic partnerships and operationalized MedX's UK pilot programs. Before that, he served as Vice President of Growth & Development at Vitality Group in the United States, where he was responsible for commercializing Vitality's direct-to-consumer network and managing its global partnership with Apple Health and Apple Watch. Vitality operates the world's largest wellness platform.
As MedX's CEO, Gevisser will focus on expanding MedX's international footprint, advancing the commercialization of its technology platform, and accelerating revenue-generating opportunities.
'John brings deep expertise in digital health and a global perspective that will prove invaluable as we scale MedX's operations,' said Mike Druhan, MedX President, Dermatology Services. 'His ability to execute international growth strategies and navigate an evolving healthcare landscape positions MedX for long-term success.'
'Skin cancer is a largely preventable condition, and employers and insurers are increasingly adopting preventative strategies to reduce the costs of workplace absenteeism,' said John Gevisser. 'As a former client, I saw firsthand how seamlessly MedX's hardware and software delivered peace of mind and fast-tracked access to dermatologists for hundreds of UK employees. This non-invasive technology platform is highly scalable, so the goal is to make this technology available to the at-risk population through occupational healthcare and insurance providers globally. The true strength of MedX lies not only in the speed of its assessments but also in the clinical accuracy of its results. These are exciting times for MedX as its unique solution to at-risk patients in the workplace is gaining market acceptance.'
While passing over the CEO role to Mr. Gevisser, Stephen Lockyer will remain as President of MedX. 'The Board and shareholders of MedX are immensely grateful to Stephen, who stepped up as a Director, CEO and President in 2023 and has been a very significant contributor to the development and advances made by the Company since that time,' said Ken McKay, Chairman of the Board.

Elon Musk Thinks Tesla Will Become the World's Most Valuable Company. I Predict Its Stock Could Plunge by 70% (or More) Instead.
Key Points Elon Musk thinks autonomous vehicles and humanoid robots could make Tesla the most valuable company in the world one day. He might be right, but those product platforms are still years away from generating meaningful revenue, and Tesla's core business is faltering. To make matters worse, Tesla stock is trading at a sky-high valuation that could pave the way for a sharp correction. These 10 stocks could mint the next wave of millionaires › Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) is one of the world's largest manufacturers of electric vehicles (EVs), but its CEO, Elon Musk, is no longer focused on just selling cars. He's preparing the company for an autonomous future by directing its resources into its full self-driving (FSD) software, its Cybercab robotaxi, and its humanoid robot named Optimus. Musk believes Tesla will become the world's most valuable company by far if those product platforms are successful. But in the here-and-now, 74% of Tesla's total revenue still comes from its EV business, where sales are declining at an alarming pace. Where to invest $1,000 right now? Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now. Continue » Musk held a conference call with investors last Wednesday to discuss Tesla's progress during the second quarter of 2025 (which ended on June 30). His comments suggest that it will be a long time before products like the Cybercab and Optimus are generating enough revenue to offset the struggling EV business, so here's why I predict Tesla stock could plunge by 70% (or more) in the meantime. Tesla's EV deliveries continue to sink Tesla is off to a rough start to 2025. It delivered 720,803 EVs during the first six months, which was a 13% decline compared to the same period last year. The drop in sales had a significant impact on the company's total revenue, which suffered a 9% year-over-year decline during the first quarter, followed by an accelerated drop of 12% in the second quarter. Competition is a big reason for Tesla's sluggish sales. While the company's Model Y remains the best-selling car in a handful of countries, consumers more broadly seem to be flocking to other brands. In Germany, for example, Tesla's sales crashed by 60% in June, despite EV sales growing by 8.6% across the country overall. In other words, Tesla is rapidly losing market share in Europe's largest car market. Affordability seems to be a major factor for consumers. China-based BYD sells its entry-level Dolphin Surf EV for around $26,000 in Europe, whereas Tesla's Model 3 (its cheapest EV) starts at $40,000. BYD's sales exploded fourfold in Germany during June, compared to the year-ago period. Fortunately, Tesla plans to release a low-cost EV to compete. It was reportedly designed on the flagship Model Y platform, minus all of its premium features to bring the price down. It just entered production, but only time will tell whether it's enough to pull Tesla's EV business out of its slump. Tesla's robotaxi business is still too small to offset weak EV sales Elon Musk believes the future of Tesla's car business is autonomous. In June, the company launched a supervised, invite-only version of its planned autonomous ride-hailing platform, using its passenger EVs (like the Model Y) with its FSD software installed. They are completing autonomous trips around Austin, Texas, right now, with a human in the passenger seat to keep an eye on things. The test lays a foundation for the rollout of the Cybercab, which is a purpose-designed robotaxi that won't have pedals or even a steering wheel. It will go into mass production next year, and Musk's goal is to have millions of them hauling passengers and even small commercial loads all day and night, earning revenue for Tesla around the clock. Regulators currently stand in the way of a broad robotaxi rollout. Tesla's FSD platform doesn't have approval for unsupervised use in any U.S. states right now, but Musk is hopeful that will soon change. In fact, he believes the company's robotaxi business could have enough coverage to serve half of the entire U.S. population by the end of 2025, likely using a mix of passenger EVs and early versions of the Cybercab. However, during a conference call with investors for the second quarter of 2025, Tesla's Vice President of artificial intelligence, Ashok Elluswamy, said only a "handful" of passenger EVs are currently deployed in Austin for the test program. He did say the operating region around Austin will soon expand tenfold, which should put more cars on the road, but it places the company significantly behind the competition. Alphabet 's Waymo, for instance, is already completing over 250,000 paid autonomous trips every week across five U.S. cities completely unsupervised. The idea that Tesla can go from a handful of cars in Austin to serving half of the U.S. population within the next five months -- leapfrogging Waymo in the process -- feels very unrealistic. Tesla's sky-high valuation sets up a potential crash of 70% Tesla's earnings per share (EPS) sank by 18% year over year during the second quarter, which followed a 71% drop in the first quarter. Its trailing-12-month EPS now stands at $1.67, placing its stock at an eyewatering price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 180.7. That makes Tesla five times more expensive than the Nasdaq-100 technology index, which trades at a P/E ratio of 32.5. It's also three times more expensive than Nvidia -- one of the world's highest-quality and fastest-growing companies -- which trades at a P/E ratio of 54.3. If Tesla's earnings continue to shrink, which seems likely based on the state of its EV sales, then its P/E ratio is going to keep climbing unless its stock price plunges. As things stand today, Tesla stock would have to plummet 70% just for its P/E ratio to match Nvidia's (and even further to match the Nasdaq-100). I think that's a real possibility in the near term. The picture might look a little different for investors who are willing to hold Tesla stock for the long term. Dan Ives from Wedbush Securities thinks the company's robotaxi business presents a trillion-dollar opportunity, but that figure might be conservative if it winds up serving half the U.S. population eventually. Then there is the Optimus humanoid robot, which could be a hot product in every manufacturing facility and even in every household one day. It's still an early-stage product, but Tesla just announced version three, which irons out some of the kinks from the previous models. Musk thinks Tesla will be producing 1 million Optimus robots annually five years from now, and he previously said this product could deliver $10 trillion in revenue for the company over the long term. Investors who believe in Tesla's futuristic product platforms could be handsomely rewarded in the long run if they buy the stock right now, despite its sky-high valuation. However, I think patient investors might get a cheaper entry point in the coming months.

Could a $500 Investment in XRP Turn Into $50,000 by 2030?
Key Points Ripple could easily become one of the best crypto investments of all time. One key risk may prevent all of that upside potential. 10 stocks we like better than XRP › Ripple (CRYPTO: XRP) is skyrocketing in value once again. Over the past 12 months, Ripple's value has zoomed higher by more than 400%. Looking at some key metrics, it's clear that the price of XRP can continue to climb heavily for years on end. But how high could XRP's value really soar? Could a $500 investment turn into $50,000 by 2030? The answer to this question will surprise you. Let's look at the numbers. What is Ripple's highest theoretical value? The primary driver behind Ripple's long-term value is its ability to replace the global SWIFT system. SWIFT stands for Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication. It's essentially a network of processes and protocols that financial institutions have agreed to in order to standardize money transfers. Since its introduction in 2015, Ripple has struggled to replace the SWIFT system in any meaningful way. It has signed on a growing list of financial institutions that are using its network for pilot programs and smaller transfer use cases. But a decade after Ripple launched, SWIFT remains dominant worldwide. According to Ripple's CEO, Brad Garlinghouse, all of this could change over the next five years. By 2030, he predicts Ripple will capture 14% of SWIFT's global cross-border volume. "There are two parts to SWIFT today: messaging and liquidity," Garlinghouse told a conference audience earlier this year. "I think less about the messaging and more about liquidity. If you're driving all the liquidity, it is good for XRP. So I'll say five years, 14%." It's hard to understate how massive this would be. According to some estimates, a 14% share would result in $21 trillion annual transaction volumes for Ripple. For comparison, RippleNet is currently processing annual transaction volume measured in the billions of dollars, not trillions. If Garlinghouse's prediction comes true, Ripple will go from a rising crypto star to a bonafide global financial powerhouse by the year 2030. Should you buy more XRP today? How will all of this impact XRP's price? Will it be enough to turn a $500 investment into $50,000? It's actually fairly difficult to estimate XRP's value even if it does capture 14% of SWIFT's transaction volumes. That's because the utility value of XRP is based on several complex factors including velocity and liquidity demand. Some analysts have run bear- and bull-case scenarios which predict a theoretical price between $25 and $170, which is significantly higher than today's trading range of $2 to $4. But these assumptions assume Ripple captures 14% of all SWIFT volumes, not just its cross-border volumes. Plus, these assumptions factor in various numbers for velocity and liquidity demand that could stray far from reality. In summary, Ripple remains an incredibly speculative asset. Not only does the project have a long way to go to justify its current $200 billion valuation from a utility standpoint, but models predicting potential price growth for XRP rely on assumptions that are far less knowable than the standard discounted cash-flow model used for valuing traditional stocks. Should you buy more XRP today? If you believe in the long-term story, Ripple remains a promising speculative bet with lots of theoretical upside. But its near-term value will largely be based on market conditions and investor sentiment -- not on true fundamentals. Should you invest $1,000 in XRP right now? Before you buy stock in XRP, consider this: The Motley Fool Stock Advisor analyst team just identified what they believe are the 10 best stocks for investors to buy now… and XRP wasn't one of them. The 10 stocks that made the cut could produce monster returns in the coming years. Consider when Netflix made this list on December 17, 2004... if you invested $1,000 at the time of our recommendation, you'd have $636,628!* Or when Nvidia made this list on April 15, 2005... if you invested $1,000 at the time of our recommendation, you'd have $1,063,471!* Now, it's worth noting Stock Advisor's total average return is 1,041% — a market-crushing outperformance compared to 183% for the S&P 500.

‘Trump respects strength': Ex-White House official says Canada must hold firm in trade talks
Canadian and American flags fly near the Ambassador Bridge at the Canada-USA border crossing in Windsor, Ont. on Saturday, March 21, 2020. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Rob Gurdebeke The United States has agreed on a trade framework with the European Union, but Canada is still without a deal and could face the threat of steep new U.S. tariffs as early as Friday. U.S. President Donald Trump and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen announced an agreement Sunday that sets a 15 per cent tariff on most goods traded between the two economies. It is the latest in a series of agreements the U.S. has signed with allies including Japan, the U.K., and Vietnam. Canada, meanwhile, remains under the threat of 35 per cent tariffs on exports, if an agreement isn't reached by Trump's Aug. 1 deadline. The country is already facing U.S. levies on steel, aluminum, and automobiles. New tariffs on copper are expected to kick in next. Former White House official Larry Haas says Ottawa has reason to be concerned. 'The tone between the United States and Canada is a lot more negative than the tone seems to be between the United States and the EU,' Haas said during an interview with CTV News Channel on Sunday. 'I think both countries... are preparing for the very strong possibility that we're going to get tariffs.' Haas said the deadline could still shift, depending on economic signals. 'Trump has backed away from other deadlines when it came to tariffs,' he said. 'If we approach August 1 and these tariffs are looming, and the stock market all of a sudden becomes shaky, I could envision another extension.' Canada has taken steps to respond to U.S. pressure, including boosting border inspections and cancelling a digital services tax. Still, Haas says the Canadian government faces a difficult negotiating environment. 'President Trump respects strength as opposed to weakness,' he said. 'Canada needs to make clear to the United States that it's not going to take just any deal.' Haas said tariffs are not a 'formula for long-term economic growth,' but not 'Canadian officials or anyone else is going to talk President Trump out of his fondness for tariffs.'
