These stocks could profit from the Barbie hype

You've probably noticed the hype surrounding the new Barbie movie starring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling. In the last few weeks, there has been a lot of publicity! Today is the premiere of the film in Germany and tomorrow the film starts in the US. I am sure that the film will not only make the box office ring, but also some stocks will benefit from the Barbie hype. The $MAT (+2,47 %) share, manufacturer of the Barbie doll, is already within the last month with nearly 15% in the plus and is still positively evaluated by experts. The film comes today in the distribution of Warner Bros, so could also the $WBD (-1,27 %) Share from the hype profit. Retailers such as. $GPS (-0,15 %), $CROX (-0,45 %) and $KSS (-3,85 %) are also jumping on the Barbie bandwagon, benefiting from licensing deals with the toymaker. Even the meme share of the movie theater operator $AMC could gain new momentum from the Barbie hype. Unfortunately, nothing is really known about the film yet, so it remains exciting to see whether the film will meet the expectations of moviegoers and whether the shares will benefit from the hype in the long term.

Are you going to see the new Barbie movie? Do you think that the Barbie movie will actually have a positive impact on the stocks mentioned and can profit from the hype? Or are you rather skeptical?

𝗔𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗮𝗻𝘇 ($ALV (-0,71 %))- Europe's largest insurance group cannot rest easy. In the U.S., the SEC and the Department of Justice are already investigating. Now, according to insiders, Bafin has also started investigations.

It is about a dispute between Allianz Global Investors (AGI) and investors of several hedge funds in the USA. The subject of the dispute is severe losses that AGI's "structured alpha funds" experienced during the Corona crash. As a result, investors are suing, seeking to claim losses of up to $6 billion.

According to Handelsblatt, Bafin is now investigating whether executives outside the fund division knew about or were involved in the events that led to the losses.

𝗘𝗹 𝗦𝗮𝗹𝘃𝗮𝗱𝗼𝗿 - as reported yesterday, bitcoin ($BTC-EUR (+0,5 %)) becomes a legal currency as of today.

In the past few weeks, 200 ATMs have been set up where US dollars can be exchanged for bitcoin.

However, not everyone is fond of the idea. There have been demonstrations for weeks. Pensioners in particular reject the cryptocurrency because they fear that their pensions will only be paid out in Bitcoin in the future. A crash like the one in 2017 would therefore be devastating.
