“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?

“More change in 1 year than 50” — r/wallstreetbets’ day 3. GM’s Netflixification. Facebook’s awkward Apple.
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 $AAPL Statement 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.

“You too, Tootsie?” — Tootsie Roll’s cyberbulling. Apple’s TBOY. Starbucks’ reimagining.
Fresh after cyberbulling (not cyberbullying) powered up GameStop’s stock, we’re looking at its moves on Tootsie Roll and AMC. Apple didn’t just have its best quarter ever… it had its best quarter in global capitalism history. And don’t call Starbucks a coffee chain anymore. $AMC $GME $TR $AAPL $SBUX Got a SnackFact?

“It’s Cyber-bulling (not Cyber-bullying)” — Beyond Meat’s soda friend. Reddit’s stock pop. Johnson & Johnson’s tortoise vax.
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 $JNJ Got a SnackFact?

Clubhouse has become the only unicorn you can’t see, only hear. Latch is going public to open your door (literally), but the money is in the software.

“Disrupt the gas station” — Instacart’s pivot. Amazon Prime vaccine. EVgo’s gas makeover.
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 $AMZN Got a SnackFact?
