Motley Fool Money - Right Trend, Wrong Stock
Investors weren’t exactly wrong to be excited about the companies trying to make meal kits and plant-based meat cool. But they sure haven’t made any money from those bets. So … what went wrong?
Patrick Badolato is an Associate Professor of Instruction at the McCoombs School of Business at the University of Texas at Austin, where he teaches Accounting. He joins Ricky Mulvey for a conversation about companies that have opened the door for genuinely exciting opportunities, but haven’t yet been able to figure out a workable business model. They also discuss:
Expanding your definition of competition.
Why Blue Apron and Beyond Meat haven’t taken off like their IPO investors hoped.
Whether Coca-Cola is at risk of becoming a “Cabbage Patch concept.”
Companies/tickers discussed: KR, ACI, BYND, MCD, KO, NVDA, CELH, PEP, YETI

CoinDesk Podcast Network - BITCOIN SEASON 2: Gamestop pulls a Microstrategy
GameStop plans to buy $1.3B in Bitcoin, following MicroStrategy's playbook. How does this connect to GameStop's 2021 meme stock saga, company financials, and can this pivot can save a retailer whose core business is declining.
You're listening to Bitcoin Season 2. Subscribe to the newsletter, trusted by over 7,000 Bitcoiners: https://newsletter.blockspacemedia.com
We dive into GameStop's surprising announcement to raise $1.3 billion in convertible notes, potentially to buy Bitcoin. The hosts explore how this connects to the 2021 meme stock saga that gave GameStop its massive cash position, Ryan Cohen's relationship with Michael Saylor, and whether this Bitcoin strategy is a life raft for a retail gaming business in decline. With GameStop's revenue dropping from $8.5B to $3.8B over eight years, is this a smart pivot or just vibe investing?
Notes:
- GameStop announces $1.3B convertible note offering
- Revenue declined from $8.5B to $3.8B in 8 years
- Company has $4.76B cash on balance sheet
- Cash position largely from 2021 meme stock frenzy
- Zero debt after paying off all loans
- Saylor posted photo with Ryan Cohen: "Team Bitcoin"

The Daily Signal - Karoline Leavitt Opens Up About Life Story, Relationship With Donald Trump
In a special episode of "The Signal Sitdown" filmed at the White House, Leavitt opens up about her relationship with President Donald Trump, her political upbringing, and how the president is garnering record support with young voters.
At just 27 years old, Leavitt is tasked with communicating Trump’s priorities to the American people, oftentimes through testy exchanges with the adversarial corporate media in the White House briefing room.
"I don't think anyone could anticipate having this job," Leavitt told The Daily Signal. "Certainly, one may hope for it, but you never really know if it will happen."
These days, Leavitt makes headlines sparring with journalists, but once upon a time, she thought she might become one. "I always was enthralled with the media and news growing up," Leavitt said. "Always thought I wanted to be a reporter, actually on your side of the table, and covering the news."
That started to change, however, when Trump burst on to the political scene. "2016 was the first election I was actually eligible to vote in, and I cast my ballot in the New Hampshire primary for Donald Trump," Leavitt recalled.
