Description
What if a celebrity collaboration could move a company’s stock price? Plus... what can Zara, Skims, Nike and American Eagle teach us about investing?
In this episode, Sarah and Tash explore how pop culture moments and celebrity partnerships can create excitement around a brand... and sometimes its stock. They also unpack why an initial stock-price jump doesn’t always last.
Plus, they explain the IBEX 35, compare it with the S&P 500 and FTSE 100, and answer a Loud Line question on compounding and dollar-cost averaging.
