Summary

A college tutor startup is now worth $500M… Because it gets you into Harvard (for $200K).

Louis Vuitton sales fell last quarter… because the trade war is firing up again.

Butterfinger just launched its 1st new flavor in 101 years… and we think that’s a mistake.

Plus, Crocs just launched clogs for dogs… Because we spend more on pets than shoes.
