“The NBA cancelled and Tom Hanks got COVID” — Corona-conomy’s 1-year. Roblox goes public. Elf Beauty’s burrito lipstick.
It’s official. We’re 1 year into the corona-conomy, so we whipped up the most important numbers from it. Roblox just went public... and 3 out of 4 American kids are using it. And Elf Beauty is doing the opposite of every other cosmetics brand right now. It’s because they’re sticking lipstick on burritos and tracking customers down. $RBLX $ELF Got a SnackFact?

“A $1M JPEG file” — NFT’s pre-mainstream moment. Nasdaq’s “correction” latte. Amazon’s 2nd profit puppy.
Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) are having their moment. People are buying JPEGs or video files… that anyone can watch online. The Nasdaq’s midday plummet on Friday reminds us of a barista’s moves on your latte foam. And Amazon has a big decision to make with Amazon Go. $AMZN $QQQ NFT Got a SnackFact?

“Jay Z & Jack” - Tidal sold to Square. The She-cession. Carrier’s air-conditioned stock.
We told you in January that the most shocking deal of 2021 might happen… and now Jay-Z’s Tidal has been acquired by Jack Dorsey’s Square. We’re about to get February’s jobs report numbers, but we already know we’re in a She-cession. And Carrier, king of air conditioners, didn’t release an earnings report — it just released a weather report with 1 wild stat. $CARR $SQ Got a SnackFact?

“Popped collars of TikTok” — Abercrombie’s influencers. Oscar’s bull case. Google’s burned cookies.
Abercrombie isn’t the company you think it is anymore (it’s a D’Amelio). Oscar Health’s stock dropped on its IPO day despite the freelancification of America. And Google is burning its cookies that stalk you around the internet, but we don’t think it will dent profits much. $OSCR $ANF $GOOG Got a SnackFact?
