Big money coming in the last 15 minutes, over 700,000 buys shares last 15.
One of my best friends (class of 65) owned Yeserday's Auto in Minneapolis. He had a big showroom and an elevator that could carry a heavy car up to the 2nd floor showroom or the basement where they detailed cars coming in.
He was a broker and anybody who could not sell their classic car he would try to sell it for them and make a commision.
He did great until 2008 and closed it for 4 reasons, but still does some online business.
1.In like the 50's and previos for example, a 51 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58 and 50 Chevy's all looked totally different. Now days a 2000 Camray looks a lot like a 2022. So it is just not as interesting for classic cars any more for some people.
2. Internet made it easier for one to sell a classic car online, and internet gaming and such offered many more things to do. And a generational thing in that the newbies did not learn how to work on cars.
3.Their was a recession
4. He wanted to retire

LOL santafe, yes new terminology, To me that chocolate could be called "plant protein infused plant protein"? It seems we used to just hear what they were talking out, "low carb, sugar free, fat free, soy free etc.
This chocolate story makes me think of infusing plant protein with animal protein, lol. Plant protein infused ethanol anybody? I don't know where this will end.

PepsiCo and Beyond Meat to debut jerky snack as part of joint venture, Bloomberg reports
https://www.fooddive.com/news/pepsico-partners-with-beyond-meat-to-create-plant-based-drinks-and-snacks/593971/
UPDATE: Jan. 20, 2022: PepsiCo and Beyond Meat are planning to introduce a vegan jerky snack as the first product released under their joint venture, according to Bloomberg.
Last January, the two companies announced the creation of The PLANeT Partnership to develop, produce and market snack and beverage products made from plant-based protein. The CPGs said the joint venture will leverage Beyond Meat's technology in plant-based protein development and PepsiCo's marketing and commercial capabilities.
While a plant-based jerky would benefit from the expertise of both companies, it would join a crowded field where Nestlé's Sweet Earth, Krave, Conagra Brands' Gardein and others have introduced their own faux-meat snack lines.
Dive Brief:
PepsiCo and Beyond Meat created a joint venture called The PLANeT Partnership that will develop, produce and market snack and beverage products made from plant-based protein, the companies said in a statement. PepsiCo and Beyond Meat did not share financial terms of the agreement.
The companies said the joint venture will leverage Beyond Meat's technology in plant-based protein development and PepsiCo's marketing and commercial capabilities. "Plant-based proteins represent an exciting growth opportunity for us, a new frontier in our efforts to build a more sustainable food system and be a positive force for people and the planet, while meeting consumer demand for an expanded portfolio of more nutritious products," Ram Krishnan, PepsiCo's global chief commercial officer, said in a statement.
PepsiCo has prioritized increasing offerings in its portfolio that meet growing consumer demand for foods and drinks that fall in the better-for-you category. Plant-based products have gained particular momentum during the pandemic as people have watched what goes into their bodies more closely.
Dive Insight:
Even though the near-term boost to Beyond Meat's stock price is enough to excite investors, with a 38% spike as markets opened on Tuesday, it's the long-term impact of this deal that could have the plant-based food maker salivating for years to come. Beyond Meat, along with rival Impossible Foods, have come to dominate the plant-based meat space despite mounting competition from industry heavyweights like Nestlé and Tyson Foods, along with countless smaller startups.
As consumers incorporate more plant-based foods into their diets, faux meat will be just one part of a much larger menu. Beyond Meat has expertise and broad consumer awareness in burgers and sausages, but it will need to expand beyond those categories to further grow revenue and immerse itself in the plant-based trend. Moving into snacks and beverages not only does that, but it should eventually lessen its financial dependence on meat and expand the Beyond name to be synonymous with the plant-based category as a whole.
“This represents another attractive longer-term driver for BYND to capture more share in the expanding plant-based food ecosystem,” Oppenheimer & Co. analyst Rupesh Parikh said in a note, cited by Bloomberg.
PepsiCo — with its portfolio that includes Quaker Oats, Cheetos, baked fruit and veggie snack maker Bare, Naked smoothies, Bubly water and its namesake soda — can expedite the process by using its marketing and commercial capabilities for the new snacks and beverages. PepsiCo already has a major presence in stores, so the new products developed through the joint venture could have a greater chance of commanding more shelf space with the food and beverage giant involved than Beyond Meat could have done alone.
"We look forward to together unlocking new categories and product lines," said Ethan Brown, Beyond Meat founder and CEO. "PepsiCo represents the ideal partner for us in this exciting endeavor, one of global reach and importance."
UBS analysts called the deal a win-win in a note cited by Seeking Alpha.
"We think there are multiple product avenues that the JV could explore - from plant-based dairy (which Impossible Foods indicated it is developing) to plant-based jerky/meat snacks (~$6.5mn sub-category of the ~$3.6bn meat snack category currently per Nielsen data) to completely new categories," the note says.
Beyond Meat controls about 13% of the meat alternatives category in the U.S., according to a CNBC story, citing estimates from Jefferies. For PepsiCo, many of its recent acquisitions, such as Bare, SodaStream and PopCorners, have helped it build on its offerings of healthier snacks and drinks. Beyond Meat's expertise in developing plant-based proteins will ultimately play a key part in improving these and other new products, while enabling the food and beverage giant to tap into a company with a deep bench of knowledge in this area.
PepsiCo also noted that working with Beyond Meat helps it make progress toward reaching its sustainability goals by using "positive" ingredients and expanding its portfolio of products that have been grown and made through practices such as regenerative agriculture and net water- and carbon-neutral production plants. According to Nielsen, 66% of all consumers are willing to pay more for sustainable brands, a figure that is even higher for younger shoppers.
For much of its existence, Beyond Meat was viewed as a scrappy upstart upending the meat industry with its more realistic burgers. Now, it's partnering with an industry stalwart that should give both companies a more meaningful presence in plant-based by tapping into the best skills of each manufacturer.

$MNST Monster Energy enters alcohol with $330M purchase of Canarchy Craft Brewery
https://www.fooddive.com/news/monster-energy-enters-alcohol-with-330m-purchase-of-canarchy-craft-brewery/617118/
Dive Brief:
Monster Beverage will acquire Canarchy Craft Brewery Collective, a craft beer and hard seltzer company, for $330 million in cash, the company said in a statement. The energy drink maker said the deal will provide Monster with a "springboard" to enter the alcoholic beverage space.
The transaction is expected to close before April. Canarchy will function independently, retaining its own organizational structure and team, led by its current CEO Tony Short.
The decision by Monster to enter beer and hard seltzer comes as more nonalcoholic beverage companies enter the category in an effort to cover more drinking occasions and spur growth.
Dive Insight:
Monster rose to prominence to become a dominant player in the energy drink space, but now the $50 billion beverage giant is hoping to replicate its success in alcohol.
"This transaction provides us with a springboard from which to enter the alcoholic beverage sector,” said Hilton Schlosberg, Monster’s vice chairman and co-CEO. “The acquisition will provide us with a fully in-place infrastructure, including people, distribution and licenses, along with alcoholic beverage development expertise and manufacturing capabilities in this industry.”
The transaction will immediately bring beer and hard seltzer from brands including Cigar City, Oskar Blues, Deep Ellum, Perrin Brewing, Squatters and Wasatch to the Monster beverage portfolio. The transaction does not include Canarchy’s stand-alone restaurants.
The deal comes at a time when Monster itself has been rumored as an acquisition target.
In November, Bloomberg reported Monster Beverage was exploring a deal with Modelo and Corona brewer Constellation Brands. Today's decision to spend more than $300 million to buy Canarchy doesn't necessarily preclude such a deal from happening. But the fact that Monster is buying a company on its own, and choosing to do it in alcohol, may mean any combination with Constellation is dead, at least for the foreseeable future. Monster has found its own way to enter alcohol and stay independent at the same time.
For years, Wall Street has speculated Coca-Cola could buy Monster. The beverage giant purchased a 16.7% stake in Monster in 2015 and agreed to distribute its energy drinks in the U.S. and Canada. Monster noted the Canarchy deal comes with all the infrastructure and necessary licenses, so it appears unlikely that Coke would handle alcohol for Monster.
Canarchy is an interesting move for Monster because it is entering alcohol through craft beer and hard seltzer, a pair of maturing yet popular categories where consumers have countless options to chose from. While at one point there was speculation that Monster would develop its own hard seltzer, the company obviously sees a better path forward in alcohol through purchasing existing brands where it can benefit from their expertise rather than venturing into the area on its own, even with the potential to use the name recognition of its signature energy drink.
It's possible Monster could somehow tap into the expertise of Oskar Blues' work in hard seltzer, for example, and bring that insight to its own energy drinks. The deal also could mark the first step by Monster to become an even bigger player in alcohol, putting it head-to-head with industry giants AB InBev and Molson Coors.
Monster has been exploring other avenues for growth in recent years. It released the first 100% vegan energy drink called Java Monster Farmer's Oats in 2019 that is made with oat milk, coffee and Monster's energy blend that contains taurine, ginseng and guarana. It also reportedly has been considering a move into cannabis. But Canarchy is its biggest bet yet to show it's more than just an energy drinks company.
Monster is the latest nonalcoholic beverage company to enter alcohol, although others have done so through partnership deals in an effort to generate growth at their businesses.
Coca-Cola teamed up with Molson Coors to create Topo Chico Hard Seltzer, and last week said it is working Constellation to launch ready-to-drink cocktails through its Fresca brand. PepsiCo and Sam Adams maker Boston Beer followed last summer with plans to launch a hard offering under the Mtn Dew brand, expected to reach shelves in the next few months.

In spite of what looks like the start of a major market correction, RIBT help up well. My memory if someone has not heard it before, is the major bear maket from March 2000 until October 2002, where the internet laden NASDAQ lost 66% of it's value. In that almost exact 2 and 1/2 year period, Bally Technologies(BYI)that made slots at the start of the casino boom went up 106 fold, (like $1 to $106). They were bought out after that, wish I had saved the info. No, I never held any.

Stuck in a Snowstorm: Better to Have a Gas- or Electric-Powered Car?
https://www.baconsrebellion.com/wp/stuck-in-a-snowstorm-better-to-have-a-gas-or-electric-powered-car/
Hundreds of motorists were stranded on Interstate 95 in freezing temperatures last night after two tractor-trailers jackknifed in a snowstorm and triggered a chain reaction as other vehicles lost control. Both lanes of the Interstate were closed. As night fell, reports the Associated Press, motorists posted messages on social media about running out of fuel, food, and water. Senator Tim Kaine, who was commuting between his residence in Richmond and the Capitol, said he was stuck in his car for 21 hours.
NBC News correspondent Josh Lederman, who spoke on NBC’s “Today” show by video feed from his car, had this observation: “You really start to think if there was a medical emergency, someone that was out of gas and out of heat — you know it’s 26 degrees, and there’s no way that anybody can get to you in this situation.”
People can live without food and, for a time, without water. If worse comes to worse, they can pee on the side of the road. But the potential killer is hypothermia. The AP account tells of one motorist who stopped his car engine at least 30 times to conserve gas and run the heat just enough to stay warm.
I’m wondering how many of the stranded cars were electric vehicles and what happened to them.
Here’s a problem with current battery technology: the colder the outside temperature, the faster lithium ion batteries lose power. According to Green Car Future, a pro-EV website, the Tesla Model S owner’s manual comes with this warning: “In cold weather, some of the stored energy in the Battery may not be available on your drive because the battery is too cold.”
Here’s a related problem: electric vehicles’ heating systems rely upon resistance heaters, which require great amounts of electrical energy. As Green Car Future notes, “Right at the times you will need that burst of energy … your battery power is being obstructed by the cold conditions.”
The nightmare scenario, not considered in the Green Car Future blog post, is getting stuck for hours… in the freezing cold… relying upon an electric battery to generate resistance heat. Obviously, gasoline-powered cars, which capture heat from passing air over the running motor, can run out of fuel, too. Here’s my question: How long would a fully-charged EV battery have lasted in last night’s I-95 scenario compared to a car with a full gas tank?
According to Internet sources of unknown reliability, older cars can idle (and generate heat, presumably) for as long as 52 hours on a full tank. Newer cars can go less than 12 hours.
Green Car Future says that Hyundai and Kia are working on EV vehicles that rely upon more energy-efficient heat pumps to warm drivers and their passengers. The heat pumps use only 50% of the electricity of the resistance heaters. Moral of the story: if there’s any chance you might find yourself stranded in the freezing cold for hours on end, you’d better be driving a Hyundai Ionic Electric with a heat pump.
