The brands of business/law students and how to invest in them.

(With excerpts from chat gpt taken from a longer "conversation").

clearly this is something very typed and is absolutely not meant seriously(at least from my side), see the whole thing as a fun project

• what brands does a business student wear?

chat gpt:

There are many brands worn by business students. Some of the most popular brands are Ralph Lauren, Hugo Boss, Porsche Design, Armani, Gucci, Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger. These brands are synonymous with quality, elegance and style and are very popular with many business administration students. However, it is important to note that each business student has their own tastes and style and that brand choice may vary from person to person. Some students also prefer less expensive brands or like to store at thrift stores to add to their wardrobe.

• Alright, let's get into the first three:

chat gpt:

Brands like Ralph Lauren, Hugo Boss and Porsche Design have a special place in the fashion world. They are known for their quality, elegance and style and are therefore very popular among many business students.

Ralph Lauren

Ralph Lauren is an American fashion brand known for its sporty and classic fashion. The brand was founded in 1967 and has since launched a wide range of clothing and accessories. Ralph Lauren is synonymous with quality, style and comfort.

For business students, Ralph Lauren is a great choice if they are looking for a sporty and casual look. The brand offers a wide range of garments suitable for different occasions. Polo shirts and shirts from Ralph Lauren are especially popular among business students. They are comfortable and elegant at the same time and can be worn both in everyday life and formal occasions.

Hugo Boss

Hugo Boss is a German luxury brand known for its elegant suits, ties and shirts. The brand was founded in 1924 and since then it has provided clothes to many famous personalities. Today, Hugo Boss is one of the most famous fashion brands in the world.

Boss clothing is very popular among business students because it embodies quality and elegance. Boss suits and shirts are timeless and classic in design and are perfect for formal occasions. The brand also offers accessories such as ties, belts and shoes that complete the outfit and enhance the professional look.

Porsche Design

Porsche Design is a luxury brand founded in 1972 by Ferdinand Alexander Porsche. The brand is known for its elegant and high-quality fashion and accessories. Porsche Design clothing embodies elegance, performance and style and is appreciated by many business students.

Porsche Design clothing is perfect for business students who are looking for a modern and sophisticated look. The brand offers suits, shirts, polo shirts and jackets that are suitable for different occasions. The garments are made of high-quality materials and have a modern design. Porsche Design is also known for its accessories, such as watches, glasses and bags, which can perfectly complement the outfit.

• what is the significance of the clothing brand?

chat gpt

Branded clothing can be of great importance to business students. A professional appearance can make the difference between a successful and unsuccessful business meeting. Brands like Ralph Lauren, Hugo Boss, and Porsche Design represent quality and elegance and can help enhance the image of the wearer.

Choosing the right branded clothing can also help boost the wearer's self-confidence. A business student who wears clothing from a reputable brand often feels more confident and professional. This can help make him or her better able to hold his or her own in a business environment.

However, the importance of branded clothing should not be overstated. It is important to note that it is not just the brand that matters, but also the quality and style of the clothing. It is possible to create a professional and elegant outfit without resorting to expensive brands [...] A good wardrobe should be versatile and professional, supporting the wearer in different business environments.

• but we now want to invest in these three brands, how exactly do we do that?

well, $RL (+0,24 %) Ralph Lauren and $BOSS (+1,17 %) Hugo Boss are listed as independent brands on the stock exchange and you can invest directly in the clothing sales.

here I give my regards @RoronoaZoro and @Gaylord , who have been reading up on Boss stock/representation along with me :) 👋

with Porsche Design it becomes now somewhat more complicated... (by the way a favorite of @Barsten )

Porsche Design first of all falls under the Porsche Lyfestile Group, which in turn is part of the $P911 (+2,66 %) Porsche Ag, which we are also part of via $VOW (+0,37 %) Volkswagen or the $PAH3 (+2,01 %) Porsche Se can invest...

Whether the investment in one of these three companies makes sense, you have to decide for yourself, but if you are a "high performer" as a certain David always describes it quite annoyingly, then there is not only the car production and the clothes at Porsche Ag, no also one of the dream destinations of the "high performers" is part of the Porsche Ag portfolio: Porsche Consulting...

so, you want to profit when a typified business/law student buys clothes?

Now you know a few ways to do it

have fun with it 😉

Hi too, I'm pretty bullish on Ralph Lauren. Figures and outlook have surprised well and the valuation seemed very favorable at first glance. In addition, a takeover candidate from LVMH. Can it be that I'm missing something or what do you think about RL?

Good noon together,

at the moment there are rumors that LVMH is interested in acquiring $RL (+0,24 %) has.

I have mixed feelings about this:

Pro:

- additional revenue

- Expansion of the customer base

- Consolidation of the market in the USA

Con:

- Possible damage to image, as RL ≠ luxury

- Acquisition costs too high

I would be interested in your opinion on this. Do you think LVMH could benefit from such a takeover?

A good day for my limit orders 🥰

Squid Game - The coin with the acronym SQUID, which alludes to the unprecedentedly successful Netflix series Squid Game, shocked the crypto scene yesterday. The coin launched last Thursday at a starting price of $0.01. Within 4 days, the price increased by an incredible 380,000.00% to $38 on Monday morning. After further growth, the price rose to $89 on the same day. However, the journey was not to end here. Within 3 hours, events rolled over. The price of SQUID grew to an incredible $2,861.80 and just 5 minutes later the coin crashed by 99.99% to $0.0007926.

Additionally, the website that promoted the coin is no longer online. It is now also known that many holders of SQUID were no longer able to sell their positions from a certain point, so they could only watch idly. It is therefore a so-called rug-pull, i.e. that the developers of the project have sold it and have gone underground with the profits. In addition, it is now also clear that there are no connections to Netflix or other representatives of the series.
