Vision Pros (and cons)

Apple, is the latest company to join the ‘funky goggle’ party and they’ve already sold 200,000 units 🤯 

For anyone whose out of the loop, here’s a quick recap:

• Apple released their augmented reality (AR) headset last week

• starting price: $3500

• the headset provides users with an immersive digital experience, by merging physical and virtual worlds

• more info on what it does and use cases- watch this

We get it, these fancy goggles are a generation shifting product. But we have to consider the negative impacts this brings to society:

• social capabilities will decrease amongst the youth

• mental health issues are expected to escalate

• physical activity will obviously decline

• and not to mention…more virgins 😭 

Think about it…

Giving men access to video games, Only Fans and DoorDash all through a face computer? 🤨 

Ya… it’s game over.

Meta is SURGING!

Mark Zuck just got $28 billion richer this weekend as Meta profits TRIPLED in the fourth quarter!

To the moon 🚀 :

• Revenue grew 25% in the fourth quarter to $40 billion compared to last years $32 billion

• Net income profits reached $14 billion, from last years $4.6 billion

• Current forecast of first quarter sales is ~$34 billion

• Meta market cap now at $1.2 trillion

What did Mark do right?

• Cost cutting (20,000 employee layoff)

• Didn’t focus on AR/VR, rather focussed on AI

• $50 billion share buyback

• Introduced the first company dividend amidst profits

It seems, Mark has found his footing again after their 2021 downfall with all the metaverse activity.

Meta looks like the 2016 Cav’s with this comeback! 🥇 

What else is in chat?

• January job reports is out, but is it fact?

• Amazon is also surging!

• Elon is NOT getting paid, because it’s “too much”

• Spotify continues to pay Joe Rogan as he signs a new contract

• The 2026 World Cup schedule is set!

You’re all caught up Kathy’s!
