@davidshap4711 Hi David there is a glitch on the Otto1890 Content Hub page when one clicks on the link to download the latest Cristal challenge leaderboard.
@TheRayMyers Agree with your sentiments. Exciting times ahead. Check out the South African bank Capitec to see how far these disrupters can go. The 2 best banks in the world.
The entire Sunday Times read is variations of a theme of ANC led local , provincial and national government departments siphoning or stealing money in a variety of ways !

South Africa is the hardest place in the world to do business, says the IMF. Measured against 49 other countries, SA came in stone last.
IMF noted that if SA could just achieve an ease of doing business equal to the average, economic growth could double.

@Ritholtz Loving the book ( audible for me ! ) and all the podcast interviews around it. Common sense , humility , tons of lessons and a wealth of experience. A perfect recipe for an investment book. Wishing you continued success always.
Taking cheap shots at the President of your host country when you are SA Ambassador and required to engage with the US leadership as SAโs representative is so amateurish it borders on rank stupidity. https://t.co/yUngUD39xy
If you want to know why I say โFinish Themโ when it comes to Hamas, this is why.
Terrorists are turning the knife, prancing around with the dead bodies of a 1 year old and a 3 year old while a crowd of Gazans cheers them on. Itโs sick beyond measure.
God rest their sweet souls. May their memory be a blessing.โค๏ธ
Why is Holocaust Memorial Day so important? Because the recent global pandemic of antisemitism has shown all too clearly that the virus is still in the human bloodstream. Something like Auschwitz COULD happen again. We must make sure it never does. Never forget.
@DM_Rubenstein Thoroughly enjoyed the 18 hour listen of your book The Highest Callingโฆinformative , inspirational and lessons for a lifetime. A year in Baltimore in โ78 with weekends in DC at the Smithsonian museums fuelled my love for American history and traditions.Thank you๐
