“Your Order Has Been Delayed” — That is what retailers are moving heaven and earth to prevent for the upcoming holiday season. In preparation for the upcoming holidays, Walmart, Target, Best Buy and others have been hoarding merchandise like Americans hoard toilet paper. No one likes when their order is delayed, but it’s even worse when it’s a gift for someone else. With many factories shut down and supply chains bottlenecked, the best move for companies in this sector is to hoard like mad ASAP. This desperation is reflected in shipping costs, as the price of one standard 40-ft container ship from China to the U.S has reached new heights. In addition to factory-side slowdowns, ships have been sitting in the Pacific ocean waiting for a port to dock in, often waiting to unload for days and even weeks longer than usual. Consider this your early warning - get your gifts soon.

Thermo Fisher Scientific ($TMO) — When boring companies see share price surges, there’s gotta be a story there. Well, in this case, the shoe fits the foot and the boring stock of $TMO jumped 6.4% on some boring-ish news. At the company’s recent Investor Day, they announced just how supremely they were kicking ass by showing revenue targets and EPS guidance well above Street expectations. This announcement gave $TMO the best performance for S&P 500 members on Friday, and I would check if that happened before but I’m already too bored with this story.

Drones — Specifically, weed drones. “Unmanned aerial vehicles”, the technical term for drones, are growing in popularity like…weeds, especially for agricultural use. The market cap for the farming drone industry is projected to grow 5x through 2025 as their use in security, monitoring, dusting, and delivery of crops only grows. Cannabis farms however, appear to be some of the most prominent early adopters. The day I get a joint delivered to me via drone, just kill me, as this will be the unbeatable peak of my life.
