“Nikola & Theranos. Different companies, same accusations.” — Nikola’s 19% drop. Chime’s $14.5B swipe. BJ’s Costco-fication.
Nikola is kind of like Tesla’s stunt double, and its founder just resigned amid accusations of investor deception (CC Elizabeth Holmes). BJ’s is the cinderella story of the Warehouse Wars after its stock almost doubled this year. And our “Unicorn of the Day” is digital banking app Chime, which hit a $14.5B valuation. It wants you to think it’s a bank, but not investors. $NKLA $BJ Got a SnackFact? Tweet it @RobinhoodSnacks @TBOYJack @NickOfNewYork Want a shoutout on the pod?

“Wonder Woman snitches on Mulan” — Disney’s secret numbers. Goldman’s build-vs-buy. Amazon’s suburban dream.
We still don’t have the numbers on Disney’s experiment sending Mulan direct-to-living-rooms instead of theaters – but we still figured out it was probably a failure. Goldman Sachs acquired a startup that reveals when to build or when to buy. And Amazon’s having fun in cities, but it’s also buying up 1,000 strategic locations in the suburbs. $GS $DIS $AMZN Want a shoutout on the pod?
