Our Elliott wave picture of Snapchat called for a tripling of prices -- back in April. And look at it now! by Nico Isaac Updated: December 29, 2020 In this brave new marketplace of just-add water startups, some say the days of long-term forecasting is long gone. The reason being, it's impossible to predict where these brand-new, Gen-Z stocks will be one day to the next as they're constantly in the line of fire of external factors like new product launches, increased competition, rampant scandals, lawsuits, and so on. In turn, opportunities in these stocks come and go as rapidly as a picture sent through the vanishing photo app Snapchat. Or, do they? Let's take Snapchat while we're on the topic. This is a chart of the photo app's listed stock, SNAP. After moving sideways pretty much since its 2017 IPO debut, SNAP finally snapped out of its road-to-nowhere trend and began climbing this April. By December, the stock had soared five-fold to record highs in a winning streak that blew its larger social media peers like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram out of the water. SNAP's incredible comeback has secured the praises of Wall Street's top analysts, who now say…

B.L., involving a student’s freedom of speech while off school grounds.Credit...Anna Moneymaker/The New York TimesDec. 28, 2020Updated 9:24 a.m. ETWASHINGTON — It was a Saturday in the spring of 2017, and a ninth-grade student in Pennsylvania was having a bad day. She had just learned that she had failed to make the varsity cheerleading squad and would remain on junior varsity.The student expressed her frustration on social media, sending a message on Snapchat to about 250 friends.

LEESBURG, Va. — Jimmy Galligan was in history class last school year when his phone buzzed with a message. Once he clicked on it, he found a three-second video of a white classmate looking into the camera and uttering an anti-Black racial slur.The slur, he said, was regularly hurled in classrooms and hallways throughout his years in the Loudoun County school district. He had brought the issue up to teachers and administrators but, much to his anger and frustration, his complaints had gone nowhere.So he held on to the video, which was sent to him by a friend, and made a decision that would ricochet across Leesburg, Va., a town named for an ancestor of the Confederate general Robert E. Lee and whose school system had fought an order to desegregate for more than a decade after the Supreme Court’s landmark ruling.“I wanted to get her where she would understand the severity of that word,” Mr. Galligan, 18, whose mother is Black and father is white, said of the classmate who uttered the slur, Mimi Groves. He tucked the video away, deciding to…

OAKLAND, CALIF. — When Eden Chen wants to go sneaker shopping, he takes out his smartphone and points the camera at his feet. Shoes materialize. He turns his feet from side to side. How does the shoe look on his foot? How does the top of the sneaker meet the cuff of his pants leg? “It’s one thing when a shoe looks great on display,” Chen said. “When it’s on your foot, it’s just different.” Chen, who has founded startups focused on gaming and augmented reality, is one of a growing number of consumers who, stuck at home because of the pandemic, are shopping in augmented reality. The technology was made ubiquitous by social media platform Snapchat, which used it to transform users’ faces into anime illustrations and add dancing hot dogs to their videos. But as the pandemic continues, retailers are increasingly relying on augmented reality to help customers try on products. It displays goods as a filter on what they see on their phones, stitching shoes onto customers’ feet, adding makeup to their faces and dropping furniture into their apartments. The process isn’t foolproof, Chen said. Sometimes the shoes will flicker as the artificial intelligence powering them struggles…
