Bean's Brilliant Business Bloopers: Stocks Edition!

Chip Chaos! (Not the kind with Fish and Chips)

Right so apparently Micron the people who make those little chip thingamajigs did rather well better than expected actually. But and here's the funny bit their shares still went down! It's like when I make a smashing cup of tea but then spill it all over Mrs. Wicket's cat. Good job then a bit of a disaster really. The stock market honestly sometimes it really tests my patience just like trying to parallel park the Mini. I mean the numbers were good better than expected like when I managed to get my head unstuck from the turkey.

Bitcoin Bonanza! Or is it?

Next we have Core Scientific those Bitcoin folks! They jumped up. Apparently someone wants to buy them up. It's a bit like when I tried to buy that antique teapot at the market only to find out it was worth less than a Teddy's button. Still good for them. Although I must say I still don't fully understand this Bitcoin thing. Is it like gold? Can I polish it with my toothbrush?

Data Center Disaster! (Not the kind I cause at the Library)

Now Equinix. Oh dear. Their shares went down like a lead balloon. Apparently they said some things that made people sad. It's like when I tried to give Teddy a bath and he just looked at me with those sad little eyes. Expectations are tricky things aren't they? One minute you're up the next you're down... Just like my trousers when I forget my belt!

Spicy Surprises!

McCormick the spice people had a good time! Their earnings were better than expected. You know spices are fascinating. A little bit of spice can really make a difference like adding a dash of Marmite to my cheese sandwiches. It is like putting a good engine oil that makes a Mini running smoothly. Perhaps I should invest in spices… or maybe just buy more curry powder.

Furniture Frenzy!

And MillerKnoll the furniture makers did alright. Sales went up but earning went down. It's like buying a new sofa only to find out the springs are a bit dodgy. Still a good effort I say! Reminds me of that time I tried to build a shelf. Let’s just say I have a complicated relationship with hammers. In the end I succeeded though it was rather skewed.

Adhesive Adventures and Gaming Gambles

H.B. Fuller the sticky stuff folks did well too! And Penn Entertainment is up which is very interesting. So there you have it a little peek into the topsy turvy world of stocks and shares. As for me I will just keep myself busy and just watch TV it is rather more relaxing. But you know what they say “If you can't beat them join them!” Perhaps it is time to invest! Or perhaps not. Maybe I will just stick to my Teddy. He never lets me down.
