I don’t like at least half the advice I get.
I don’t want to do it bc it’s hard, inconvenient or costly. That doesn’t dissuade me from listening or taking the advice. I process it, balance it against other rational views (both in line with mine or contrarian). Then action according to what I believe will have the best outcome. Sometimes that means I doing things I don’t really want to do, but I know I NEED to do.
Make good choices!!
Hey, as you know @jordanbpeterson has been really sick. A lot of people have been asking for updates so here’s one. He’s recovering slowly day by day but I won't lie, it's slow and scary. He won't be back for another few months at least, probably longer. We’re not entirely sure what’s going on but it looks like possibly severe CIRS and a LOT of bad luck. Or we’re getting spiritually attacked. Or both.
To be perfectly honest, I think a lot of this is spiritual. My newborn Audrey almost died of heart failure for no reason in June, dad got sick and came to stay with us in July, then needed a hospital and the same day he went to the hospital by ambulance, my newborn turned blue (again) at home for a different reason not heart related and went a different hospital by ambulance.
Within 3 hours of each other.
It's been one thing after another in an otherworldly type of way.
In the meantime, we'll be going full force with @petersonacademy, and keeping his message across his brand alive while he recovers. Not letting demons get in the way of that.
Prayers are MUCH appreciated.

@Rb__sa I appreciate your feedback as well, the problem is FNB told us how they wanted to align in the 2024/25 rules adjustment. Now to come mid year and force insurance products on us to remain at Level 5 is not in the best interest of keeping the trust relationship going.
I started this business to help address the structural imbalance of power between highly paid listed company execs and the retail investors who want to understand and participate in the markets.
Writing straightforward opinions and raising concerns about companies that engage appropriately and respectively (i.e. the vast majority of them) is much easier than writing similar views on companies that engage very poorly and even resort to threats and intimidation.
Of course, the "easy" outcome is that respectful management teams then suffer, while bullies are allowed to behave however they want. That's a terrible outcome for the integrity of the @JSE_Group market and any global market.
This is by no means the first time that I've experienced this, but it's certainly been the most concerning.
Nonetheless, this business has grown to 40,000 daily opens of Ghost Mail and there's a reason for that. People want and need my help in understanding the market around them. For university students to C-suite execs, Ghost Mail has become a critical resource.
So today, just like every other weekday, I got out of bed to write South Africa's favourite investment newsletter.
And I'll keep doing it, regardless of how irritating it sometimes is.
