1/ Outstanding op-ed by Brett Swanson @entropyecon

A few excerpted zingers in this THREAD…
wsj.com/articles/big-t…
2/
-“Index funds exist because security prices are nearly impossible to predict. So if expert computer modelers can’t yet predict temperatures in a single complex realm—climate—how can we take seriously BlackRock’s triple extrapolations of the climate, the economy and finance?”
3/
“Who wants to bet BlackRock, which just won a first-of-its-kind approval to operate in China, won’t force every Chinese firm to submit to Mr. Fink’s climate vanities in the name of fiduciary risk management, or even saving the planet?”…

1/ BRILLIANT Q&A by @barronsonline—with Impactive Capital
Lauren Taylor Wolfe @ltwolfe + Christian Asmar @ChristianAsmar

A few gems:

Now over $1 billion - their style of ACTIVIST INVESTING:
-very concentrated
-3yr+ holding periods
-trust-building with management + non-hostile
2/ On how Impactive @ltwolfe + @ChristianAsmar

and how customers + employees are voting their VALUES
with their most VALUABLE things: cash 💵+ time⏳
3/ Great quote Lauren Taylor Wolfe @LTwolfe

“When you REDUCE your investment universe

1/ Either we believe in the VIRTUE that people can (+ wish to) improve & be just a bit better than they were yesterday or we believe they are set in stone + unredeemable.

2/ Whether a serious crime or a thought crime

a transgression where someone did something considered WRONG today

But either
a) didn't know it was WRONG
(and error corrected on learning)
-or-
b) it wasn't considered WRONG

-a past crime,newly discovered,gone unpunished but for evasion OUGHT BE punished

-a past act,deemed present offense,newly discovered,not previously punishable OUGHT NOT
