The Naval report about the Dachau mescaline experiments was the catalyst for Project CHATTER which focused on identifying and testing drugs for interrogations and recruitment of intelligence agents. It was headed by Lieutenant Dr. Charles Savage, a graduate of Yale and the Pritzker Medical School at the University of Chicago. Dr. Savage conducted the experiments at the Naval Institute in Bethesda Maryland, using high doses of mescaline; but, like the Dachau tests, the experiment failed to yield an effective “truth serum.” He then tested LSD, selecting “severely depressed” military patients in the knowledge that they would suffer ill effects. He started them on 20 micrograms, and then increased the dose daily up to the point at which psycho-physiological changes were observed. He obtained LSD from Sandoz Pharmaceutical Co.

Charles Savage was back in the BizNews studio after the release of the Purple Group's full year earnings. In the interview with founder Alec Hogg, looking in his crystal ball Savage said the future has never been brighter despite it being a tricky time in the market for growth stocks, echoed by the demure movements in the group's share price in spite of a stellar performance over the last 12 months. Noteworthy metrics from the annual report include a 50% increase in customers and the completion of 4 acquisitions, a feat not to be scoffed at coming from a relatively small team of operators. The team are pleased to have executed against their goals for the year and simply view investor's subdued reactions as an indication of a tricky macro environment as opposed to doubts about future growth, especially when considering the intrinsic value that will be harvested from its recent investment in the Philippines, which Charles expects to be much bigger than its South African market. Considering that the team has come from a R20 million income statement 8 years ago, to a company of R2.5 billion today, it's difficult to argue that investors won't be richly rewarded by a global product offering and a sound strategy that is on track to realise local and international expansion. An exciting space to watch indeed. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Purple Capital, controlling shareholder of Easy Equities, became a firm favourite among BizNews community members after CEO Charles Savage delivered an impressive keynote at BNC#2. At that time, the shares were easy to accumulate at 80c each, Little more than a year later, they trade at over three times that price. Even so, it's unlikely many of the BizNews tribe would consider taking profits. Especially so after reflecting on this podcast where Savage unpacks interim results released today - and shares his excitement about an ever sharper acceleration in the months ahead: Five new disruptive financial products being offered to the continuously expanding base now 750,000 active clients (target is 4.5m in SA); launches in Kenya and the Philippines; and rolling out of needle-moving partnerships with Discovery Bank and Telkom. Little wonder SA's "investment democratiser" keeps accumulating fans.

Charles Savage first thought about EasyEquities while on the beach in Mozambique nearly 10 years ago. His relationship with the beach and surfing is well developed and it's unsurprising that the epiphany happened there. He learned to surf in the wild Atlantic surf spots in Cape Town as a youth. After completing a finance degree combined with an IT major at the University of Cape Town, Charles and his friend went on a global surf tour for 18 months. In this episode, Alex and Charles discuss surfing, the internet, commerce, creativity, and flexibility. A central theme in Charles's success has been to harness his flexibility and allow opportunities that present themselves to unfold. The success of EasyEquities (EE), a subsidiary of JSE listed Purple Group Limited (PPE), has been built on being flexible. Just when they thought the development work was complete, they were thrown a curveball and needed to get back to the drawing board. EasyEquitiesis an online platform that allows anyone to buy shares in the brands and companies they love. For as little as R5, $10, or whatever amount they have available to invest (with no monthly brokerage fees) newbies and seasoned investors alike can grow their wealth.EasyEquities aims to disrupt and remove the barriers to entry in local and international stock markets, making the purchase of shares easy, cheap, and fun, and ensuring that anyone can own shares in the companies they love.Please enjoy this conversation and remember to reach out via social media channels with your questions and send me your comments.ALEX MACPHAILEmail: alex@alexmacphail.co.za Twitter: https://twitter.com/AlexMacPhail1 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/alexmacphail99 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/flyingmogul YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCztTx1LzCAnC4woeNOpU5-A Website: http://www.alexmacphail.co.za Alex MacPhail Podcast - LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/highperformanceteams/CHARLES SAVAGELinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/charleshsavage/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/CharlesHSavage Website: http://www.easyequities.co.za
Purple Capital is to its segments of SA's financial markets what Amazon has been to retailing in the USA. A classic tale of disruption, its primary business Easy Equities started as low cost stockbroker seven years ago. Competitors dismissed it as cheap and nasty - nothing to worry overly about. With more than 700 000 active clients, and a new customer cost of acquisition of just R50, the company is continually innovating. Not just within the stockbroking space, but also into fractionalised ownership of property and crypto currency. With a share price that's surged by over 600% in the last two years, founder Charles Savage's company has been on a tear. The 48 year old, however, believes Easy has hardly started.

EasyEquities and Purple Group CEO Charles Savage spent time with the BizNews team unpacking their highly anticipated results. EasyEquities, the group's crown jewel, was a standout performance. The brokerage platform now has more than one million registered accounts and is growing strongly, as well as being one of South Africa's most loved brands. The rest of the group weighed on its performance but Savage did suggest that a rebranding of the group's trading and asset management arms were in the pipeline. Alec Hogg recently added the Purple Group to the BizNews portfolio, generating more than a 70% return in the space of a few months, an incredible return on investment. Long may it continue.

Some examples: “He made all his money from property.” “They made all their money from GNLD.” “He made all his money from farming.” The phrase also goes the other way, except this time it's true. “They lost all their money when their business failed.” “He lost all his money in property.” “They lost everything in an investment.” The key message I got from Simon's recent conversation with Charles Savage is that users remain uninvested because they are afraid of losing all their money. The bigger problem is that people misunderstand what the stock market is and how you make money from it. In this episode, we attempt to explain how you make and lose money in the stock market. We follow that with why it's very unlikely that you'll make, or lose, ALL your money by investing. Win of the week is Shane, for sending my favourite email of the week. Just wanted to say - this morning's podcast was terrific! Busy researching into a shared Credit Card for myself and the missus.
