Grilling icon Weber just announced a flame-broiled IPO, but its greatest strength is its greatest weakness. Netflix just made its 1st big hire for Netflix Podcasts because we’re entering the “Post-Couch Era.” And it’s official… from peanut butter to airplane tickets, you’re paying more for things — but there is 1 inflation winner. $WEBR $NFLX Got a SnackFact?

Didi plummeted 20% after going public because we’re in a new era of investing in China.
