From necklaces to cuff links, DY is iconic. However, DY is private, but you can still invest in a classy jeweler, you’ll just need to buy it on the OTC. Tiffany & Co. (TIF) was delisted from the NYSE in 2021 when they were acquired by French luxury company LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton for $15.8Bn. The company has been down ~4% YTD, but many long-term investors are impressed by its resilience over the past five years, as it’s returned ~132%. That is more than double the S&P 500 5-year return. Lately, investors have begun to question if the slower demand for high end goods will start to normalize the stock as the company missed expectations on its Q3 revenue increase of 9%.
Don’t Let Your Love Fern Die
During occasions centered around expressing affection, floral bouquets remain a timeless choice. Fresh flowers universally appeal, and there’s a growing trend towards long-lasting plants like succulents. For those with a green thumb, considering a potted Peace Lily might be a thoughtful gesture.
While it’s always a noble idea to support local florists, it’s noteworthy to mention that 1-800-FLOWERS has experienced a decline this year, down by approximately 23%.

Dining Delight: A Memorable Culinary Affair
Who doesn’t love a dash of adventure now and then? Mixing up a thoughtful gift with a dine-out treat can be the cherry on top. If your loved one appreciates the luxe life, then whisking them away to a posh restaurant might just hit the spot.
In the restaurant industry, Bloomin Brands, Inc. has seen a positive trend, with its shares up by approximately 15% YTD. Current market trends suggest that casual dining establishments might be witnessing higher demand compared to fine dining venues. Conversely, ONE Group Hospitality, Inc., known for the upscale STK Steakhouse brand, has experienced a decrease in stock value, trading down ~27% YTD. However, there are indications of potential growth for the company, with it trading close to its 52-week low and recently cited multiple new location openings across the country along with increases in revenues and comparable sales in the latest 2Q earnings release.
