“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 $VGAC Got a SnackFact?

“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 $AAPL Send us your Black History Month SnackFact here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1Hu00HOlQ-qb6S7Jx4CgnGOfzrA67_j_SLFqxvFKinEQ/edit Want a shoutout on the pod?

“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 $HOG Send us your Black History Month Snackfact here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1Hu00HOlQ-qb6S7Jx4CgnGOfzrA67_j_SLFqxvFKinEQ/edit Want a shoutout on the pod?

“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 $AMZN Got a SnackFact?

“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 $CROX Here’s the Google form to submit your voice-recorded SnackFacts (Black History Month) https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1Hu00HOlQ-qb6S7Jx4CgnGOfzrA67_j_SLFqxvFKinEQ/edit Want a shoutout on the pod?

We’re jumping into the pipes deep within the financial system: Breaking down the plumbing on why brokerages broke down last week.

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.
