HBS Report #002: What to Hold, Buy, Sell this week
Industry: Fashion, Beauty, Culture & Cravings
Coverage by: The Selleb Sisters
Method: Receipt analysis, cart forensics, sentiment mapping
Ratings: HOLD, BUY, SELL (HBS)
File No. #002
Welcome back to our newest series: The HBS report, where we surface the sharpest signals in fashion, beauty, and cultural consumption, anchored in real-time receipt data and taste-cycle intel. (Traditionally BSH, we know, but for the sake of structural clarity behind the paywall, we’ve defaulted to HBS.)
**IMPT REMINDER** We now have a NEW official app waitlist! Pls fill out this (super) quick form to get on. This is a CHANGE from our previous policy that placed you on the waitlist automatically when you signed up for our newsletter. New users have been getting on in batches every few days.
Our mandate: surface the delta between hype and merit. We identify the gaps between what's trending and what actually deserves your attention.
*HBS LEGEND*
😌 HOLD (future HODL?): Sales, deals, and pieces we’re HOLD’ing in our carts while we stalk the price graph.
🛒 BUY is akin to a value play in the investing world, the low P/E (low-hype, high upside potential) or under-the-radar stock stuff that isn’t yet sprinting off the charts yet…but will most likely soon. Pre-viral gems. Left of the Early Majority crew on the adoption curve; before a fringe trend turns into consensus. For our track record, please check out our TikTok vid from 2 years ago when we forecasted the rise of then-underdogs ;) Bullish.
🚫 SELL is our weekly downgrade list (de-influencing): items our data agrees should be (sell)side-swept for something better elsewhere. Call it a taste correction. Bearish.
Behind the paywall you’ll find: Every BUY that made the cut, and every SELL so you don’t make the same mistakes we (and/or other Sellebs) have made.
Scroll down, snag the alpha, sell the beta, and remember: markets move fast, but taste moves faster.
