Last week's highlights...

Snacks / Monday, March 14, 2022
  • Slice: Amazon’s splitting its shares 20 for 1, its first stock split in 20+ years. Thanks to fractional shares, splits are mostly for show now — but they’re also a sign the Zon thinks its $3K stock can keep rising.
  • Canola: US Big Foodies like McDonald’s and Coke halted biz in Russia after peer pressure and Twitter #boycotts. The fast-food exodus is symbolic: McD’s was one of the first US chains to open in Russia post-Soviet Union.
  • Gassy: Gas prices spiked even higher last week after the US banned Russian oil imports to punish Putin. Sanctions also sent grain and metal prices soaring, hurting Kellogg, General Mills, BMW, and Boeing.
