2. The Snapchat Generation represents a new kind of shopper, one willing to immerse themselves in stories and experiences, and use the latest tech to their advantage. As a group, Snapchatters hold a whopping $4.4 trillion in global spending power.6 They’re willing to outspend non-Snapchatters on common purchases across every retail and service category. They consider big and small brands in equal measure. 1 in 2 say they like to learn the backstory of brands and products they buy.7 And they’re 3X more likely than non-Snapchatters to say they’re using AR more than they did last year to try on products.8 Brands that craft compelling narratives and cutting-edge experiences can forge a strong connection with this generation.
3. "2020 was a really strong year for us and we are thrilled with the momentum we're seeing. We reached more than 60 million users in India in Q4 20, with strengthening growth throughout the year, and see our community engaging across all parts of Snapchat -- from chatting to Discover content, using our Camera and getting creative with Lens Studio," Murugesan said.
He added that augmented reality (AR) is revolutionising how people communicate, are entertained, learn and experience the world.

The projects will generate 1.2 gigawatts of renewable energy globally, with Apple adding over 350 megawatts of newly installed renewable energy over the last year in Nevada, Illinois, Virginia, and Denmark.

NikeNIKE, INC. IS A
GROWTH COMPANY.
We create innovative, must-have products. We build deep, personal connections with consumers. And we deliver an integrated marketplace with compelling retail experiences.
“NIKE continues to deeply connect with consumers all over the world driven by our strong competitive advantages,” said John Donahoe, President & CEO, NIKE, Inc. “Our strategy is working, as we accelerate innovation and create the seamless, premium marketplace of the future. I’ve never been more confident in our leadership and teams to operate with agility in a dynamic environment.”**
Our third quarter revenue performance was impacted by disruption related to the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly in North America and EMEA. North America revenues declined 11 percent on a currency-neutral basis, largely driven by global container shortages and U.S. port congestion, which delayed the flow of inventory in the third quarter by more than three weeks, impacting timing of wholesale shipments, and partially offset by NIKE Direct growth of 15 percent. EMEA physical retail sales declined, as 45 percent of NIKE-owned stores experienced mandatory COVID-19 related closures for the last two months of the quarter, however this was partially offset by digital sales, which increased 60 percent. Today, approximately 65 percent of stores in EMEA are open or operating on reduced hours. Greater China revenues increased 42 percent on a currency-neutral basis, which reflects strong double-digit growth versus the third quarter of fiscal year 2019 as we annualize the impact of COVID-19, as well as continued strong digital sales growth of 44 percent versus prior year.
“NIKE's brand momentum is as strong as ever and we are driving focused growth against our largest opportunities,” said Matt Friend, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, NIKE, Inc. “We continue to see the value of a more direct, digitally-enabled strategy, fueling even greater potential for NIKE over the long term.”**

GBP USD SHORTPrice has came to retest a previous level of resistance in the market. Its appears we have had a fake out above this resistance level before seeing a bearish engulfing candle close back below this level. This also lined up with rejections at a key fib level.
On lower time frames we will be looking for a break of the next level of resistance before considering shorts.
If things develop how we planned and we take a set up, we will be targeting around the 1.368 level.

Stocks To Watch (Relative Strength Edition)The Market is pulling back and might be trying to put in a bottom, this week I expect the market to by choppy. This is the Relative Strength Edition of Stocks to Watch. This may give good risk/reward entries on some of the best names. Some of these charts still need to confirm their price action. This video is my watchlist. Most of these names are at or near all time highs or multi year highs. There are 29 total stocks on this list. I add an additional 4 stocks that are on my potential short squeeze watch list. Many of these have IPO'd in the last few years and still have a growth story ahead of them. Know your time frame and risk tolerance. Know your earnings dates! I go through these quickly so grab a pencil and paper and jot down the names that look interesting to you and then make the trade your own. Good Luck!
