Sure we have issues and plenty of them .. but there is real evidence that things are improving locally .. off the grey list, primary budget surplus, bond yields improving, lower inflation target and last night a S&P upgrade
Peeps can hate all they want but reality is, well real !?
@geordinhl Really not a good look, this should have been preempted. If itโs mainly down to race infrastructure that wasnโt built to handle mildly strong winds, then thatโs shocking.
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.

Blitzboks couldn't buy a breakdown penalty. Australia got absolutely everything they called for.
One of the worst officiating performances I've seen on the circuit. And that's saying something, given the incredibly low standards.
