3. Snap is facing two obstacles that are causing its stock to drop. It could be barred from listing on the big indexes since it's only listing shares without voting rights and it hasn't clarified how it can appeal to older audiences and grow.

4. Nike is now catering to Muslim women. It's launching a sports version of the hijab early next year.
