After Tesla (TSLA) posted its fourth straight quarterly profit on July 22, the electric vehicle maker cleared the final hurdle to be included in the S&P 500. Given the prominence and popularity of the company, combined with TSLA’s impressive recent financial performance, many market participants considered its inclusion a mere formality.
However, to the surprise of many, the S&P 500 committee opted to pass on adding TSLA, instead choosing Etsy (ETSY), Teradyne (TER), and Catalent (CTLT) in the latest index adjustment. These three companies will replace H&R Block (HRB), Coty (COTY), and Kohl’s (KSS).

https://www.sfgate.com/news/article/La-Nina-is-here-threatening-even-bigger-blazes-15556516.php%5B/b%5D%5B/size%5DLa Niña. The cousin of better-known El Niño is a cooling of equatorial waters in the eastern and central Pacific Ocean and can impact atmospheric conditions worldwide. In California, the La Niña weather pattern is known for bringing above-average precipitation to the far northern reaches of the state near the Oregon border and delivering below-average precipitation to the central part of Northern California and even drier conditions into Southern California. Historical data, however, reveals that a number of outcomes are possible.
