Ep 445“1 Bitcoin = 1 Model Y” — Elon’s crypto-for-cars. Hershey’s s’mores surge. Target’s $1B yoga pants.
Elon wants to trade cryptocurrency for Teslas, popping Bitcoin’s price above $45K. Hershey’s gets some investor love before Valentine’s Day thanks to the great s’mores surge. And Target’s athleisure brand hits $1B in sales because the target logo is nowhere to be seen.$BTC $TSLA $HSY $TGTGot a SnackFact?

Ep 444“Canada Goose + Yeti + Resto Hardware" — The Goose’s strategic uniform. Snapchat’s augmented everything. 23andMe’s DNA SPAC.
Canada Goose shares surged because it had been forgotten by Wall Street. Snapchat collects less data on you than every other social media… because it’s betting on AR to make more money. And 23andMe is using a Hollywood SPAC to take DNA public.$GOOS $SNAP $VGACGot a SnackFact?

Ep 443“The 1st pureplay Super Bowl stock” — Apple’s iCar. Wingstop’s stock pop. End of the S.U.M.O.
Apple and Kia just took their biggest steps yet to make iCar a thing: It’s not a First Mover, it’s a Second Shaker. Wingstop’s stock popped because chicken wing prices are living their best lives for the Super Bowl. And a subtle change may mean you don’t have to be knighted to invest in big pre-IPO startups (no more SUMO’ing - straight up missing out). $WING $AAPLSend us your Black History Month SnackFact here:https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1Hu00HOlQ-qb6S7Jx4CgnGOfzrA67_j_SLFqxvFKinEQ/editWant a shoutout on the pod?

Ep 442“Married or your money back” — Match’s dating lab. Scotts Miracle-Gro’s cannabis. Harley-Davidson’s ride-leisurewear.
Match’s experiments with Tinder in Japan reveal the dating legend’s true competitive advantage. And Scotts Miracle-Gro’s stock doubled because it’s focused on lawns and cannabis. And Harley-Davidson stock fell 20% so we came up with a turnaround plan for them (which doesn’t hate Millenials).$MTCH $SMG $HOGSend us your Black History Month Snackfact here:https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1Hu00HOlQ-qb6S7Jx4CgnGOfzrA67_j_SLFqxvFKinEQ/editWant a shoutout on the pod?

Ep 441“Amazon’s 2nd puberty” — Bezos quits. Uber’s $1.1B Drizly drank. Why GameStop stock halted.
Jeff Bezos is stepping down as Amazon CEO because of 1 word: “yawn.” Uber splurges $1.1B for Drizly’s booze delivery because there’s an alcohol arbitrage opportunity. And GamesStop’s stock re-pop dropped, so we’re looking at why trading gets halted on stock markets.$UBER $AMZNGot a SnackFact?

Ep 440“How ya like dem Apples?” — Short-selling’s Matt Damon moment. Nintendo’s 13-year record. Nike’s artful Zucking.
WallStreetBets just used American Airlines stock to get back at shorting hedge funds (we’re getting Good Will Hunting vibes). Ninendo enjoyed its best quarter in 13 years, but we think it needs to pull a disney. And Nike just pulled off the first artful Zucking: it’s stealing like an artist from Crocs.$NKE $NTDOY $CROXHere’s the Google form to submit your voice-recorded SnackFacts (Black History Month) https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1Hu00HOlQ-qb6S7Jx4CgnGOfzrA67_j_SLFqxvFKinEQ/editWant a shoutout on the pod?

Ep 439“How the money pipes work” — A stock brokerage’s plumbing. Levi’s kills slim-fit. WeWork’s ReWork.
We’re jumping into the pipes deep within the financial system: Breaking down the plumbing on why brokerages broke down last week. Levi’s is killing slim fit, joining The Comfort Economy, and going into… furniture.

We don’t usually cover a story 3 days in a row, but this is different: We’re looking at how r/wallstreetbets made the industry uncomfortable. General Motors is going 100% electric by pulling a move straight outta Netflix. And the wildest part of Facebook’s earnings report… was Zuck’s focus on Apple.$GME $NFLX $GM $FB $AAPLStatement from Robinhood on yesterday’s events: https://blog.robinhood.com/news/2021/1/28/an-update-on-market-volatility Learn more about your ad choices.

Fresh after cyberbulling (not cyberbullying) powered up GameStop’s stock, we’re looking at its moves on Tootsie Roll and AMC.

Beyond Meat surged 20% on word it’s partnering up with Pepsi. Reddit’s driving Gamestop, BlackBerry, and Bed Bath & Beyond stocks through “Cyber-bulling” (not cyber-bullying). And Johnson & Johnson went more tortoise, less hare, with a new vaccine that it pre-announced as a “game-changer”.$BYND $GME $JNJGot a SnackFact?

We saw a headline about Instacart over the weekend, but we rewrote a completely new one for them instead. To solve the vaccine crisis, we need Amazon Prime Vax. And EVgo went public because electric cars need charging stations. And it’s time for gas stations to be completely reimagined.$CRIS $AMZNGot a SnackFact?

Ep 429“GameStop isn’t Blockbuster” — GameStop’s 100% week. Poshmark’s IPO outfit. Computer chips’ wild moment.
Poshmark pulled off the double-double IPO, but we don’t think it’s really an ecommerce company. GameStop’s stock (say 5 times fast) surged 100% in the last week, so we’re looking at why it’s no longer dead. And computer chips have never been in higher demand — and the industry has never seen so much drama.$POSH $GME $QCOMGot a SnackFact?

CBS just introduced the NFL and Nickelodeon for the perfect marriage of convenience. After surging 600%, Zoom’s stock has lost almost half its value, so we’ve got an idea for them. And Walmart just whipped up a freaky outdoor cooler to store grocery delivery when you’re not home — because it knows the secret to your subscription heart.$VIAC $ZM $WMTGot a SnackFact?

BarkBox goes public with a $1.6B SPAC because your dog can, in fact, suffer from subscripturation. Budweiser just launched a spiked lemonade, but it reminds us of the same growth strategy as Apple’s iPhone. And automation is failing on social media platforms.$BUD $STIC $FB $TWTRGot a SnackFact?

Wyndham Destinations dominates timeshares, so we’re curious why it’s dropping $100M on a magazine.

Dunkin’ whipped up a color-changing drink and it’s the opposite of every other food chain’s strategy right now. Microsoft just acquired an ecosystem for eSports (still sad it couldn’t buy TikTok). And Boeing stock jumped 8% because stunt marketing works, whether you’re the Brooklyn Bridge or a tainted airplane.$BA $MSFT $AALGot a SnackFact?

Ep 406“And the winner of the Slack-quisition is...” — Citibank’s unicorn hunt. Nasdaq goes woke. Slack’s $28B trophy.
Forget savings accounts — Citibank’s venture capital arm deserves your attention. Nasdaq whipped up a game changing new rule that requires your board have 1 woman and 1 underrepresented minority. And now that Salesforce’s acquisition of Slack is official, we dove into the numbers Snacks-style to figure out what comes next if you own Slack or Salesforce stock.$NDAQ $C $WORK $CRMGot a SnackFact?

Ep 405“BlackBerry’s back, alright” — BB’s 30% stock u-turn. Sephora’s Inception retail. Zoom’s shrinkage.
Instead of hibernating, BlackBerry’s turned from smartphones to smart cars… and its stock just shot up 30% on an Amazon partnership. Sephora heard our story on Inception Retail, so it’s whipping up its own store-within-a-store. And Zoom’s earnings continue to dominate the Year of Zoom, so we’re looking at why the stock fell 15%.$BB $ZM $KSS $LVMUY $AMZNGot a SnackFact?

Ep 404“I will protect this Peloton” — Under Armour’s shoe deal. Kustomer’s Facebook love. S&P Global’s $44B splurge.
Probably because they watched that Michael Jordan documentary, Under Armour is launching a Steph Curry shoe brand (but we’ve got a long-term solution for them). Facebook is reportedly dropping $1B for Kustomer because it’s the cherry on Zuck’s 2020 strategy sundae. And S&P Global whipped up the biggest deal of the year at a cool $44B.$UA $PTON $FB $SPGIGot a SnackFact? Tweet it @RobinhoodSnacks @TBOYJack @NickOfNewYorkWant a shoutout on the pod?

Ep 403“Black Friday is dead (Cyber Monday too)” — The Great Pricing Reset. Slack’s slack-quisition. Pinterest’s secret school.
We’re gonna call it as we see it: Black Friday is dead, long live Cyber Daily. Pinterest is secretly working on a new project that we think is the future of education. And Slack put up its “Out Of Office” away message last week – but was busy trying to sell itself.$PINS $WORK $CRM $FDXGot a SnackFact?

Ep 402“Pop collars, pop stocks” — Abercrombie’s dirty secret. The Dow’s thirty-thow. Toast’s $8B steak knife.
Just in time for our last pod of the holiday week, the Dow hit 30K on word of a new Treasury Secretary’s signature. We jumped into Abercrombie & Fitch’s latest earnings, but discovered it’s not really Abercrombie anymore (literally). And DineTech company Toast is our “Unicorn of the Day”. After laying off off ½ of its staff in April, it’s back and just hit an $8B valuation.$ANF $DIAGot a SnackFact? Tweet it @RobinhoodSnacks @TBOYJack @NickOfNewYorkWant a shoutout on the pod?

Ep 401“Needed more Lizzo juice” — Snapchat launches TikTok+. Reebok’s $4B fail. Warner Music’s muted money.
In the biggest social media launch of 2020, Snapchat zucked TikTok… but kicked things up nine notches (you’re not a viewer, you’re a voter). Adidas bought Reebok for nearly $4B 15 years ago and is now trying to sell it for a quarter of that (what happened?). And Warner Music Group is part Spotify, part Live Nation, part Coldplay. $WMG $ADDYY $SNAPGot a SnackFact? Tweet it @RobinhoodSnacks @TBOYJack @NickOfNewYorkWant a shoutout on the pod?

Ep 400“Canal Street of the Internet” — Wish’s public desire. A Wonder Woman Christmas. Affirm’s overdependent IPO.
Circle the calendar (again) for December 25th: It’s the new Streaming-palooza, courtesy of Wonder Woman and HBO. Wish is IPO’ing because Amazon doesn’t feel enough like a TV gameshow. And Affirm is also going public because you hate credit cards.$WISH $AFRM $TGot a SnackFact? Tweet it @RobinhoodSnacks @TBOYJack @NickOfNewYorkWant a shoutout on the pod?

Ep 399"1 app to rule them all" — Google zucks Venmo. TJ Maxx's final treasure hunt. GM's in-car-surance.
Google’s new finance app is straight up Venmo, with all privacy perks you expect from Google. TJ Maxx is 100% focused on the treasure hunt experience of physical shopping, but then yesterday happened. And General Motors realized it knows more about your driving skills than your insurance company does, which led to an idea...$TJX $GOOG $GMGot a SnackFact?

Ep 398“We’re in a Baby Bust” — P&G’s diaper problem. Tesla joins the club. Duolingo translates $2.4B.
When a pandemic means making fewer babies, Procter & Gamble has to adjust its diaper strategy (spoiler: fancy dipes). Tesla stock popped 20% this week because admittance to the S&P 500 club brings perks. And our “Unicorn of the Day” is Duolingo, which just hit a $2.4B valuation as the translation app tries to pull a Spotify.$PG $TSLAGot a SnackFact?

Ep 397“The stock ticker should be KEYS” — Airbnb’s IPO. Mars eats Kind Bars. Amazon launches an ePharmacy.
We jumped into Airbnb’s IPO paperwork Snacks Style… and they finally told us who their favorite child is. Candy legend Mars just bought Kind Bar because snacks spring eternal (meta). And if you noticed Walgreens stock fell, it’s because Amazon just whipped up an online pharmacy.$ABNB $AMZNGot a SnackFact?

Ep 396“We did a 5th thing...” — Casper’s 14% nightmare. Southwest’s frugal-ness. Asia’s epic trade deal.
Casper’s 14% stock drop reveals a self-inflicted weakness that’s been hidden for years. Southwest Airlines stock rose 2% because it’s pulling the opposite move of every other airline right now — expanding. And Asia’s huge trade deal covers 2.2B people & ⅓ of the Earth’s economic activity — but the USA is MIA.$CSPR $LUV $PRPLGot a SnackFact?
