Using wavelets to capture deviations from smoothness in galaxy-scale strong lenses by Aymeric Galan et al. on Wednesday 23 November Modeling the mass distribution of galaxy-scale strong gravitational lenses is a task of increasing difficulty. The high-resolution and depth of imaging data now available render simple analytical forms ineffective at capturing lens structures spanning a large range in spatial scale, mass scale, and morphology. In this work, we address the problem with a novel multiscale method based on wavelets. We tested our method on simulated Hubble Space Telescope (HST) imaging data of strong lenses containing the following different types of mass substructures making them deviate from smooth models: (1) a localized small dark matter subhalo, (2) a Gaussian random field (GRF) that mimics a nonlocalized population of subhalos along the line of sight, and (3) galaxy-scale multipoles that break elliptical symmetry. We show that wavelets are able to recover all of these structures accurately. This is made technically possible by using gradient-informed optimization based on automatic differentiation over thousands of parameters, which also allow us to sample the posterior distributions of all model parameters simultaneously. By construction, our method merges the two main modeling paradigms - analytical and pixelated - with machine-learning optimization techniques into a single modular framework. It is also well-suited for the fast modeling of large samples of lenses. All methods presented here are publicly available in our new Herculens package. arXiv: http://arxiv.org/abs/http://arxiv.org/abs/2207.05763v2

Topology of Reionisation times: concepts, measurements and comparisons to gaussian random field predictions

Topology of Reionisation times: concepts, measurements and comparisons to gaussian random field predictions by Emilie Thélie et al. on Monday 26 September In the next decade, radio telescopes like the Square Kilometer Array (SKA) will explore the Universe at high redshift, and particularly during the Epoch of Reionisation (EoR). The first structures emerged during this epoch, and their radiations have reionised the previously cold and neutral gas of the Universe creating ionised bubbles that percolate at the end of the EoR (at a redshift of approximately 6). SKA will produce 2D images of the distribution of the neutral gas at many redshifts, pushing us to develop tools and simulations to understand its properties. This paper aims at measuring topological statistics of the EoR in the so-called "reionisation time" fields from both cosmological and semi-analytical simulations. This field informs us about the time of reionisation of the gas at each position. We also compare these measurements with analytical predictions obtained within the gaussian random field (GRF) theory. The gaussian random fields (GRFs) theory allows us to compute many statistics of a field: probability distribution functions (PDFs) of the field or its gradient, isocontour length, critical point distributions, and skeleton length. We compare these theoretical predictions to measurements made on reionisation time fields extracted from an EMMA and a 21cmFAST simulations at 1 a cMpc/h resolution. We also compared our results to GRFs generated from the fitted power spectra of the simulation maps. Both EMMA and 21cmFAST reionisation time fields (treion(r)) are close to be gaussian fields, in contrast with the 21 cm, density or ionisation fraction that are all proven to be non-gaussian. Only accelerating ionisation fronts at the end of the EoR seem to be a cause of small non-gaussianities in treion(r). Overall our results indicate that an analytical description of the reionisation percolation can be reasonably made within the framework of GRF theory. arXiv: http://arxiv.org/abs/http://arxiv.org/abs/2209.11608v1

Season 3, Episode 7: Center of Attention The Center of Mass and Movement Efficiency Don't miss this VISUAL podcast: Watch the YouTube Raise your hand if you've heard this before; the center of mass of a body, and its current relationship to a line of force, will have a significant impact on how efficiently that body moves. If you've heard it, it very well may have been from us, about two episodes ago in The Forest Through The Trees (Season 3, Episode 5). It's not that we've run out of ideas already, it's that we feel this information is so important to helping you make quality movement decisions, whether in sport or exercise, that we wanted to double down, elucidate further and provide some clear imagery so you can visualize what we're explaining. Things like plates on a bench press or the speed on a treadmill are things we can see and make sense of with our naked eye. As with joint torques, the center of mass (COM), center of gravity (COG) and ground reaction forces (GRF) are not visually detectable without sophisticated instrumentation. While these concepts may initially appear a bit abstract, they are absolutely critical to understanding what is happening when we move. We know this is tricky stuff, and NOT something you might come across easily on a social media scroll. But we also know that with a little time, and some better teaching tools, you can understand this fluently. That's why we've done a first of its kind (for us) visual episode going through all of it in detail. We illustrate lines of force, and examine them through computer generated models, explaining clearly how subtle differences of position can have a significant impact on how efficiently, or inefficiently a given exercise will be performed. We pride ourselves on not being “click-baitey” here at F4C, but, simply put; If you lunge, you MUST WATCH THIS VIDEO! In this episode we discuss: A recap on how posture(s) affect performance How we can set up a lunge so that more of the load is on the forward leg How the traditional lunge position can limit activity from your plantar flexors Why a standing cable press demands significantly lighter loads and how we modify our posture to enhance loading Glossary: Base of Support (BOS) - The area scribed by every point of contact between a body and its supporting surface. Center of Gravity (COG) - The vertical projection of the center of mass through the Base of Support (BOS). Center of Mass (COM) - A point within an object or body at which all the constituent segments of that mass sum to zero; the point at which the object or body is balanced; the point at which a force may be applied to cause a linear acceleration without any rotational acceleration.

In this episode, guest Bill Nelson, CEO of the Global Resiliency Federation (GRF), talks about the GRF’s mission to help organizations in myriad industries share critical security threat information so they can all better defend themselves. Bill lays out the history of GRF – how it emerged from the work he did at FS-ISAC, where he grew membership from 170 banks to 7,000. Bill led a team that was tasked with helping other industries set up their own security information sharing programs, based on what FS-ISAC was doing, leading to the creation of ISACs and ISAOs for legal, oil & gas, retail, energy, and healthcare. You’ll also learn how the Uniform Commercial Code, article 4, in its description of “commercially reasonable” security, and who’s financially liable after a breach, drove banks to take security controls like anomaly detection, MFA, and DDoS prevention a lot more seriously. GRF’s newest security information exchange, K12SIX, aims to protect K-12 schools, which have become the newest targets for ransomware, with attacks ballooning from 10 per year just a few years ago to more than 400 in 2020, and ransoms increasing from $20k to an astonishing $40M.Guest:Bill Nelson, CEO of Global Resilience Federation (GRF)Host:Chad Boeckmann, Founder/CEO, TrustMAPPSponsor: TrustMAPP (https://trustmapp.com)

Statelessness, the situation where a person is not recognized by any State as a citizen, has devastating impacts on millions of people around the world. 4.2 million people were known to be stateless as of mid-2020, but with just 76 countries included in data reported by UNHCR, the actual number is likely to be much higher.Statelessness deprives women and men, girls, and boys the right to enjoy basic rights that citizens may take for granted – the right to a legal identity, to move across borders, to own property, vote, access education, health services, and legal employment. As most situations of statelessness can be prevented or resolved through legislation, parliamentarians have a critical role to play in bringing the scourge of statelessness to an end. Join us for a webinar on 25 February, organized by UNHCR, the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU), and PHAP, in which we will discuss strategies and practical ways of mobilizing parliamentary action to end statelessness in the next four years.In 2019, the inaugural Global Refugee Forum (GRF) and the High-Level Segment on Statelessness (HLS) resulted in unprecedented 396 pledges concerning statelessness submitted by States, international and regional organizations, and civil society. Seventy-nine States submitted 270 pledges relevant to eradicating statelessness globally, many of which call for parliamentary action.On 25 February, the Inter-Parliamentary Union, UNHCR, and PHAP organized a webinar which placed particular attention on how to move beyond pledges made at the GRF and HLS in order to strengthen implementation of the #IBelong Campaign and the Global Action Plan to End Statelessness by 2024. Members of Parliaments who have led legislative efforts to address statelessness in their countries shared their experience and also had time for questions and discussion by webinar participants.Read more about the event at https://phap.org/25feb2021

How Accountants Can Confidently Sell More Advisory Services

John Thompson is an expert in how to delivery advisory services and build an advisory led practice. He currently runs F3C Advantage which helps accountancy practices of all shapes and sizes that want to get serious about developing advisory services. He advocates an advisory delivery platform called CAS – the Complete Advisory Solution. He knows exactly what clients want from accountants, what accountants feel about advisory and why to date so many dabble rather than get serious. Shownotes: Accountants have been doing advisory for years - it just hasn't been called advisory Some software vendors go to far in selling their solution as the silver bullet for accounting firms How compliance can drive advisory - it's definitely not dying and they go hand in hand for accounting firms Some accounting firms lead with compliance into advisory - others flip this and lead with advisory into compliance Very few accounting practices plan more than 12-24 months ahead Why accountancy firms should be more advisory led, for themselves AND their clients On average, accounting firms should expect to leverage an extra £2-3 of advisory fees from every £1 of compliance for at least 20% of clients There are money other benefits aside from revenue when accountants offer more advisory services to their clients The big barriers or obstacles to accounting firms increasing their advisory offering Accounting advisory is an internal phrase - what really counts is helping clients and asking good questions The way to set a culture of advisory in an accounting firm is to set in place the right processes and training The big mistakes accounting firms make when positioning and selling advisory services If accountants spend quality time really understanding their clients' goals and aspirations, advisory opportunities naturally follow Tips for pricing advisory services, using a combination of time based and value based approaches Why it's dangerous for accountants to assume that if clients want advisory services, they'll ask for it The majority of accountants who want more advisory work are already doing it, but are just not organised and structured with it Where confidence comes from with accounting advisory Niching for certain accountants is a good move, but it can be difficult for a number of reasons At the highest level of advisory is a business coach, and many accountants operate at this level The key traits accountants need to succeed with advisory is to like people and be curious The future of accounting services will be as a concierge - identifying opportunities and signposting to key experts The different levels of accounting advisory and how tech helps deliver it How some of the accounting associations and institutes are failing to lead the profession. (https://bdacademy.pro/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/john_thompson2.png) John qualified as a Chartered Accountant and was FD of a fast growing M & E Contractor in the construction sector. He came back into the profession to be a 100% New Business Director in a Regional Practice where he helped tripled the GRF in two years by focussing on an advisory-led approach. He then became Advisory Partner in a top 10 firm where he trained over 100 partners and managers in the nuances and practicalities of client advisory before setting up F3C. John is also involved with a start-up social enterprise in the health sector called Talk Healthtalk. It focuses on educating and supporting the HIV Community. He also holds several consultancy and NED roles with SMEs in sectors as diverse as construction, manufacturing and professional services. When not working with accountants, Geordie John lets Newcastle United FC play havoc with his blood pressure. He once taught JPR Williams, the Welsh Rugby Legend, to drink Newcastle Brown Ale properly and in his younger days, he once beat Steve Cram, the great 1500m...

Our human connection with Nature and Science can be directly experienced through our own individual body—a body that we don't just have as a possession, but a body that we are—as a way of being in the world. Modern day posture and innate posture are very different. One is an adaptation, something contrived, while the other is as old as the hills. This episode focuses on the relationship between old-as-the-hills Nature and its relationship with Science, which, it can be argued, always existed even before humans came along and discovered it, building a language and field of study around it. It's in these and countless other ways that Nature and Science converge and overlap. It's easy to think of Nature and Science as being very different from each other. Nature is all about magnificence, mystery and splendor, while Science is precise, factual, and predictable. This episode includes a guided exercise for experiencing Ground Reaction Force, a scientific phenomenon that relates to Newton's Third Law of Motion. GRF explains an energetic exchange between the human body and the Earth, which is the driving force for movement of humans and all other animals.

Simon Shares Local Q2 GDP came in at 3.1%, higher then expected but what struck me was the comment from Stats SA ~ "spurred on by a build-up of inventories and increased household expenditure". Now we have seen Woolies* (JSE code: WHL) and Shoprite* (JSE code: SHP) both comment that the second half to end June was stronger than the first, and this statement would suggest it was the second quarter. But who are these people? Or is it maybe base effect? An Eskom briefing on Wednesday seems to show that the utility has been stabilised with issues such as not enough coal largely fixed. But important point is stabilised, not yet improving. A start I suppose. Group5 (JSE code: GRF) is leaving the JSE as it exits business rescue. Shareholders can expect to get zero back. This is the risk of investing, we get the upside, but if it goes wrong we can lose it all. Discovery* (JSE code: DSY) results were pretty much in line with the first half and they continue to spend a lot of the new businesses. Price is, as always, slightly ahead of embedded value and PE is now a little under 15x.

Subscriber to our feed here Subscribe or review us in iTunes US recession US ISM came in at 49.1 which is contraction. This is now another recession warning adding to the inverted yield curve. It is frankly looking more and more likely the US will have a recession in 2020 or maybe early 2021. Technical recession is two consecutive quarters of negative quarter-on-quarter GDP growth. OECD data shows 6 US recessions since 1970, about one a decade which is frankly not very many. But what it also shows is that when the US hits a recession so does most of the rest of the world. No surprise there, either because they lead everybody down or because they only enter recession when globally things are real bad. So what to do? In short nothing. Just carry on carrying on. Firstly, maybe the US won't enter a recession any time soon, or maybe not for an age. Secondly, maybe the recession is only in 2021 and the market rallies first than collapses back to levels above the current levels. Remember Trump has an election next year and he can juice the stock market (and US economy) like crazy by making real trade peace with China and what does he want more; a second term or better trading terms with China? Thirdly, it may be a mild recession. Still not fun, but not earth shattering. Fourth, maybe locally we don't get hit too hard by it? I know that sounds crazy, but say Eskom debt gets fixed and consumer confidence and growth start returning? May sound unlikely, but not impossible. Point is there are simple too many variables and as such, we just carry on carrying on. Buy your ETFs, keep a well stocked emergency fund and if you're nearing retirement, recession or not, be in the process of de-risking your short-term cash needs.

This week's Episode of the Between Meals Podcast was created in partnership with MegaFood®. I'm proud to work with brands who care about the health of their consumers and the planet. As always, all opinions are my own. When it comes to climate change, to combat the catastrophic impact on the health of the earth and humans, it starts from the ground up. Literally -- we are talking about SOIL! While farming and herbicides may not seem like a conversation that is relevant to most of you, I urge you to stick around. We need to be looking at how we are feeding our soil, so it can continue to feed us. Just like the human body has the microbiome of the gut, the soil has its own microbiome and without a healthy microbiome, the rest of the organism - the earth - it cannot thrive! In this episode of the Between Meals Podcast I am joined by Sara Newmark, VP of Social Impact at MegaFood. We are chatting about regenerative agriculture and the impact it has on climate change and the environment, our health and why you should care. Additionally, I have shared on the website in the past, about the impacts of glyphosate on the health of our body and the health of our soil and we touch on the efforts being made to ban the use of glyphosate, what you can look for and all the many ways you can get involved both in supporting regenerative agriculture and banning glyphosate. In this Episode We Discuss: What regenerative agriculture is and why it matters. How is agriculture and farming related to climate change? How will regenerative agriculture improve soil health? What will happen if nothing is done to improve the health of our soil What are the impacts this can have on the environment and our health? The most common regenerative agriculture practices. How regenerative agriculture can help companies meet sustainability goals. Pending legislation supporting regenerative farming practices. What is the Healthy Farm Standard? What are some of the things MegaFood is doing to support regenerative agriculture? MegaFood's efforts to ban the use of glyphosate and how this initiative relates to regenerative agriculture How can you get involved in the regenerative agriculture movement and in banning the use of glyphosate in your food and so much more!!! More about MegaFood's Commitment to Social Impact Initiatives: MegaFood is B-Corp certified, which enables the company to make progress in solving the needs of a world in nutritional crisis. While MegaFood has always aligned with the social impact standards, with the formal B-Corp Certification in 2017, MegaFood has also implemented the following strategic social impact initiatives: Revised corporate bylaws to include social, environmental and economic diligence, ensuring the company stays on course, regardless of short-term and/or financial factors. Established its Healthy Farm Standard program, aimed at improving our agricultural system by building carbon-rich soil and increasing the nutrient density of food. This new open standard will help farmers track and improve outcomes and help reach shared goals to ultimately support the health of our soil and build thriving communities. Began development of a global verification standard for food grown in a regenerative way in partnership with The Carbon Underground and Green America, that results in improved soil health, improved human health, and a reduction of the threat from climate change.

Became the first supplement brand to obtain glyphosate residue free (GRF) certification for its entire line of products. The certification was granted by The Detox Project, an independent research and certification organization, after MegaFood submitted its products to an independent, third-party laboratory for testing and was found to have met The Detox Project's stringent standards. More recently, the brand has partnered with Environmental Working Group (EWG) and several additional food and nutrition brands, including Ben & Jerry's and Stonyfield, to petition the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to ban the use of glyphosate as a desiccant before harvest.

Simon Shares CSEW40* change confirmed for next Wednesday, it'll now be SMART. Trade peace, kinda ~ for now. In classic Trump style, lots of huffing, puffing and threatening the blow the house down. Until a 'deal' is reached. Afrimat (JSE code: AFT) walks away from the Universal Coal deal. No details, but likely they didn't like what they saw? Respect, far too many deals get deal mania and concluded no matter what. PricewaterhouseCoopers has resigned as auditors of Group5 (JSE code: GRF). Now this is moot as Group5 is in business rescue with no chance of surviving and PWC cites heightened risks due to resignations of many senior execs.

But this raises two issues. Where's our rally? Nov17-Oct18 saw out market off more than 20% meaning the end of any bull and we're only up some 10% since the highs of Jun14, five years for 10% and we're +12% so far in 2019. Horror stats albeit we're up almost 400% from the 2009 lows while the S&P500 is up just over 400%. Both great returns (one naturally better than the other), and this does remind us to always think long-term and worry less about the immediate when investing because 400% is a great return over a decade. Second issue is when does the US collapse? Short answer is no idea. But records are made for being broken and while the US economy doesn't look as strong as it has over many of the past 121 months, there's not yet any wildly flashing signs of concern. Naturally a black swan is a potential risk, but then it always is. But here's my question. The Fed looks like it may start reducing rates, all good. But then what happens when things go pear shaped and they have no space for further rate reductions? Negative rates in the Europe or US? Currently there is some US$12trillion of corporate and government debt with negative rates which is just insane and shows that while markets have run (some markets), we're still feeling the impact of the 2008/9 crisis.

I'll stop there because you get the picture, I want to talk of the warnings signs, why they get suspended and what hope is there for the future. The why? Business rescue Breach f JSE listing rules, such as late results Request from the company Sensitive information leaked into the market Now what? Depends on the why, many do eventually come back but battered and bruised. For now you're unable to sell (or buy) any shares and will have to wait for the listing to resume. How long? Usually way longer than management promise. If it's business rescue then it's probably forever. late results eventually they get it together, but it takes time, lots of it. Sensitive information is usually fairly quick to return to the market. How to avoid holding a suspended share? Watch for those late results. The JSE gives three months but then always gives an extra month, so effectively four. If a stock can't publish results within four months then why do you own it? What about derivative traders with open positions? You're in a heap of pain. Either long or short you now can't get out and the best advice is to avoid trading stocks due to single event risk such as a share being suspended. Steinhoff? Why isn't Steinhoff (JSE code: SNH) suspended? Because they also trade on the German exchange and they have seriously lax rules, so they don't suspend. Suspending Steinhoff locally when it still trades in Europe would prejudice local shareholders.

The majority of business sales she brokers are in the turnover ranges of between £50K and £1m. Over 50% of their deals are completed using a proactive, permission marketing approach where they directly engage the market searching for acquisition and exit opportunities that harmonise culturally as well as commercially.

They now have a register of over 1600 potential acquirers and are well experienced in alleviating the common pitfalls when moving through the M&A process. Shownotes: How MTD is driving more and more accountants to retire and sell their practice There are more people dying, leaving and retiring from the accounting profession than there are coming in Why it’s becoming more cost effective to run a larger accounting firm than a small one If you’re an accountant who wastes half your day on the phone to HMRC (UK tax revenue office) or similar, then you’re not alone Keeping up with the changes in software and technology is relentless for small accounting firm owners The best way retiring accountants can realise the value of their life’s work is by selling their firm Accounting firms sell for 0.6 to 1.5 x GRF (gross recurring funds) depending on a number of factors (https://bdacademy.pro/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/KH-quote.jpg) Now is a good time for accounting owners to sell – it’s a sellers market (for every one seller there are 3-4 potential buyers) An overview of the process involved in selling or buying an accounting firm Why price is one of the least important factors when a selling accountant decides to put their firm on the market The kind of people that buy accounting firms – you might be surprised Why the owner being available for a ‘handover period of 1-2 years increases the value of an accounting firm when selling The best time to think about selling (or buying) an accounting firm is when you don’t actually have to The critical factors that bump up the capital value of an accounting firm Why having an accounting client that makes up 10% or more of your revenue is not a good idea The importance of digitisation to increase capital value – some acquirers won’t take on paper or desktop based firms Some organic growth strategies can be limited, which is where acquisition becomes a viable option for accounting growth With the right kind of handover from a selling accounting owner to a buying firm, retention rates can be up to 95% What retiring accountants look for in prospective buyers when looking to sell their practice The 4 main reasons why sales of accounting firms fall through Why it’s best dealing with brokers rather than buying and selling accounting firms yourself The differences between a share sale and an asset sale when selling or acquiring an accounting practice.

Simon Shares Group5 (JSE code: GRF) goes into business rescue with "a slim chance for any realisation of value.". It seems the construction of a power station in Ghana was the final nail. Remember the +R1billion they were offered to their Eastern European toll operations? But in the end a lack of liquidity killed them. Be very careful of holding Aveng (JSE code: AEG), if nothing else check the bid/offer, price is heading to 1c. No Brexit deal with 15 days to go. A mess of epic proportions. Back in November 2017 I wrote in FinWeek that we'd get zero fee ETFs and eventually negative fee ETFs (they'll pay you to hold them). It has happened. MoneyWeb is reporting on a US ETF offering to pay investors to buy their ETF. Locally our much smaller market and hence much smaller ETFs means we're a long way from free, but I do think in time it'll happen locally and Satrix40* (JSE CODE: STX40) would probably the one able to do it. Aspen (JSE code: APN) taught us some important important lessons. Debt is fine until it's not and then it can be fatal. Buffett talks about this in his latest shareholders letter. Secondly the market has become a lot more skittish and punishing since Steinhoff (JSE code: SNH). This is not likely to go away any time soon. The answer is simple, watch a companies debt and hold quality, real quality, only. Lastly, all growth stocks mature and that process of maturing is often painful. 5 ways minimalism helps your finances Searching for value the Benjamin Graham Way * I hold ungeared positions. Investment lessons from Boeing We live in wild times made possible by the internet and powerful computers in our pockets. Much of it is good with a fair amount of bad as well (think Twitter trolls), but for large old school companies it can be especially bad. Think Momentum refusing to pay out the life policy. They were correct as per the law and policy wording, but they showed a complete lack of compassion and eventually backed down. Think Vodacom trying to scam us on the ICASA rules for rolling over data with crazy fees. They backed down and from a business profit motive they may have been right but they were a million miles away from the spirit of the law and ICASA may have blocked their fees anyways. Think TigerBrands and their total lack of empathy as they responded with legal speak while South Africans were dying from listeriosis originating at their production facilities. Think Boeing, standing firm after another of their new Boeing 737 Max8 crashed shortly after take off. In the olden pre Internet days Boeing would have been able to control the message with ease and insisted everything was fine, hoping like hell another plane didn't crash and quickly rolling out a software 'update' that may or may not fix the issue (from what I have read the issue is training, not software, here's a long NYT read on it). Boeing have failed to understand the new rules in which businesses operate. Firstly those rules are a lot more ethical. Consumers want to be treated fairly. Hey we always did, but we never really had any power. And that's the second and very important point, consumers now have power. That power comes via the Internet and very quickly a raging anger can over whelm any attempt to manage the message. Now sure often the raging anger is actually just a lynch mob and this is very much the dark downside of the Internet. But the upside is that consumers have power and they'll exercise that power. Sometimes for good and sometimes for bad. A business needs to understand this. I remember attending a presentation on generational theory a decade back where the message was that millennials wanted ethical companies and would pay more to these companies. The flip is that they'll boycott a business they consider to be unethical. Now this is way more than just millennials, the issue is that millennials were given the power to firstly know a companies ethics and secondly do something about it. Companies that are going to survive and thrive in this new world will have fairness and ethics at their core, and that's hard. It's easy to put that into a mission statement, but living it is something else entirely and often a company messes up. For example the news that a company will phase out plastic straws by 2022. Nice, but why so long? Simple because they're trying to protect profits. Fair enough but the ethical demanding consumer doesn't care about your corporate greed, they care about the planet. The even harder issue is how do we manage this as an investor? Truth is we need a crisis to see how a business manages it and that is late in the process. But we can see glimmers of it via other means, such as the plastic straw example mentioned earlier. If a company is not putting the customer and ethics front and center they will eventually be in trouble. Lastly as investor we need to not chase profits at any cost. We need to invest ethically as well, this means fair fees we're charged by providers. It also means exiting dodge companies even if we think there is money to be made. We also need to focus on ESG (environmental, social and governance) issues. A very last point. Will Boeing survive? Of course. Will this hurt? Absolutely. Will it be a great investment going forward? No chance. Subscriber to our feed here Subscribe or review us in iTunes JSE – The JSE is a registered trademark of the JSE Limited.
