Summary
249-year old Birkenstock goes public today with an IPO — And if “The Lindy Effect” applies, Birkenstock will live *another* 249 years.
Roku’s new streaming strategy: Buy leftover TV shows — We call it The Moneyball Strategy: find value in things others don’t.
And Billionaire Charles Feeney invented the Duty-Free Store — He passed away yesterday, but not before giving away his entire $8B fortune to charity.
