Poetry, poetry, poetry, oooh!

And, uh ... Cornwall.

Yeah! Why not? It's the last post of the week.

Anyway ...

Yeah, I'll have a go at that rough draft for the VERY BIG POEM ... tomorrow and Friday. No 3-hour sessions. I'll just go for it, morning to night, you dig? When I'm not doing other stuff, like blog-related stuff, obviously. Or washing my hair.

Anyway, I been thinking ... what was the last poem written that your average person in the street knows about and can maybe quote from? I say it's got to be This Be The Verse, written by Philip Larkin in, uh ... 1971. 1971. 1971.

Never mind, eh?

Oh, I've still only got seven poems, kooks. Been scrapping a lot, you see.

Now, if you put a poem online, you can't send it to a magazine or put it in a competition, BUT(!) ... I think you can still put it in a volume one day. Yes, I'm sure you can.

Anyway, here's my most minor of the seven ...

Gone

It's not easy to be GONE(!)

From the world

While you're still alive,

It takes great courage:

You need

To lose

Your fear

Of 

Death.

Are you man enough?

Are you woman enough?

Are you mad soul enough?

(Who am I talking to?)

Don't laugh.

It's no laughing matter

Staring into a mirror

And finding

Nothing

There.

Yeah, it's just a little thing. I actually wrote it in my head while eating a cheese sandwich, believe it or not.

In sixth place, I would put On the Island ... and if you watch that CJ Explores St Ives video on YouTube, you will see Charlotte lying on the grass on the island. Ha! Great minds think alike! No hot tornado though.

And if you watch their Looe and Polperro video ... you will see Charlotte sitting on that bench I told you about. Great minds, etc, etc.

Anyway ...

Wish me luck with my rough draft.

'Good luck, Mikey!'

Thanks, Voice.

Thanks,

Nsikan

Oh, I don't like the look of this.

'It's a very short email, isn't it?'

That's what I'm thinking, Voice. A very short email from Nsikan, and then ...

'A PDF attachment.'

Yes, a PDF attachment.

'What do you think is inside that attachment, boss?'

Carnage. Pure carnage.

'Lucky, you mean?'

I mean Lucky.

'Are you going to open it then?'

Not yet.

'When?'

In a minute - !!!

'Christ. Just open it now. Get it over and done with.'

Yeah.

'What are you doing?'

I'm looking at the other PR emails.

'Oh, come on!'

All right, all right.

European ETF industry review 2023   5 review      of the European              ETF Industry 2023                   its fair to say               that 2023 was a challenging year for portfolio managers                around the globe!            since the markets were driven by a number of different factors and unpredictable            incidents each of these               could have caused a major market downturn on their own first          of all there were a lot!                              of geopolitical tensions around the globe beside the war in Ukraine which showed             that democratic         states might be        more vulnerable than                     one may think!               the concerns of European investors increased towards the end of 2023 since the actions    taken by the Houthi                rebels in the red!                         sea have the power!                       to disrupt the still vulnerable delivery chains in Europe and other parts of the world also there were economic factors which burdened the expectations of investors such as Chinas failure to                                     meet the growth!                     expectations of investors when its economy was reopened after the end of the countrys zero          thing strategy    talking about China the credit crisis in the Chinese real estate sector later in the year was another factor that could have caused a market downturn if it wasnt handled well by the Chinese government               nevertheless investors               are still cautious about investments in China after the           meltdown in the bond        segment during the interest            hiking cycle!           over the course of 2022     investors hoped that the measures taken by central banks would bring down inflation and lead to falling interest rates this -

All right, Lucky.

Theres a lot of this

Yes, I'm sure there is, but -

STAR 2024 accreditations

What?!

Press Release

STAR 2024 Accreditations

Okay.

STAR, the industry award scheme designed to combat delays in electronic transfer times, has published the 2024 accreditations. The initiative awarded 37 brands with accreditations - an increase of 16% from last year.

Well, what do you want me to do about it?!

'They want you to write about it, boss.'

I am writing about it - !!!

These people ...

Transfer delays are all too common in this sector, causing frustration amongst customers, cost and effort, and potential loss of reputational damage for firms. The STAR initiative was created to recognise and award firms that are trying to improve transfer times - these are the firms that have signed up to STAR and are submitting Management Information (MI), fostering industry transparency, and demonstrating that they have taken steps to address process issues.

Uh. Is this important? Really?

Come on, Julie, make some sense, please.

Julie Gawthorpe, Operations Director at Wealthtime, says:

"I'm in heaven when you smile."

Thank you. That's made my day.

'Kooks -'

Julie Gawthorpe, Operations Director at Wealthtime, says:

"STAR is doing my head in."

'Boss, leave it!!!'

Julie Gawthorpe, Operations Director at Wealthtime, says:

"STAR is doing important work to drive good practice and transparency across the industry. The two accreditations we've gained are a great reflection of the significant investment in service we've already made across the group. They will spur us on to continue to focus on and invest in service, of which timely transfers are a key part."

Andy, make some sense, please, please.

Andrew Marker, STAR Chair, comments:

"I am proud of how far the STAR initiative has come in the years of accrediting firms. This year, it has seen a significant increase in organisations being accredited, which is reflective of the FCA's Consumer Duty rules and organisations recognising that improving transfers is key to not only fulfilling these rules, but also driving their own success. We commend the firms that have taken proactive steps to participate in STAR. It signifies their willingness to be transparent, their dedication to improving transfer times and ultimately, enhance the customer experience."

All right.

Never mind.

LSEG Lipper: performance review - relative performance of equity funds as of March 31, 2024

Whatever.

Hello,

Hello.

Please see attached for the latest analysis of the relative performance of active managed equity funds vs. their respective fund manager benchmarks. This also includes an alternative analysis of the relative performance vs. the Lipper assigned technical indicators (peergroup benchmarks).

Thanks,

Nsikan

Okay.

Lucky did it.

Ah, Christ.

Okay.

See ya guys!

'Thanks, Lucky!'

Why are you thanking him, Voice?

'Just being polite.'

Right.

'He's a hard worker, you know.'

Of course he is.

'He's just not very good at it, that's all. Blame all the people who hire him.'

I do!

NEWS RELEASE

Oh, no. Come on. Really? What now?!

Blockchain industry primed for $291 billion revenue by 2030 driven by asset tokenization, says GlobalData.

Uh. Really?

The blockchain industry, although volatile and nascent, has made significant progress in a short span of time, driven by remarkable innovation. Global blockchain platform and services revenue is set to grow from $12 billion in 2023 to $291 billion in 2030.  This growth trajectory reflects a more delineated and specialized expenditure pattern, with specific areas such as asset tokenization, blockchain development, and infrastructure services serving as primary drivers of market expansion, says GlobalData, a leading data and analytics company.

Fine.

'I didn't think you wrote about this sort of thing, boss. Blockchain and that.'

I don't, Voice. But I haven't got many PR emails at the moment.

'What about that one from Detlef and the gang?'

I'm saving it for Monday.

'Oh.'

Anyway ... oh, who's this?!

Nicklas Nilsson, Thematic Intelligence Consultant at GlobalData, comments: "When blockchain entered the corporate arena, it was one of the most hyped technologies ever. This initial enthusiasm proved to be a double-edged sword, as early adoption was driven by novelty rather than strategic value, leading to misaligned expectations and objectives and a lack of consideration for its appropriateness in specific use cases or industries."

It's Nicklas.

Thanks, man.

'Let him conclude, FFS.'

All right.

Sorry, Nick. Conclude, my friend.

Nilsson concludes: "Thanks, Mikey. Blockchain adoption is unfolding more like a steady journey than a sprint. The early phase of experimentation has given way to more targeted efforts, informed by valuable insights. Even as blockchain remains in its early stages, the innovation it fosters is impressive, with asset tokenization standing out as a prime example. This steady advance in enterprise adoption underlines blockchain's potential to significantly impact various sectors over time."

Finished?

...

Anything else, kooks?

Yeah, there's something else.

Let's get serious for a moment.

Do you ever look around at the world ... and literally see Satan everywhere?

'Ha!'

Do you see Satan lurking in everyone's eyes?

'Ooh!'

And, yes ... I do mean everyone.

'Well ...'

Except spiritual aristocrats, of course ... who are above the human race.

Except dolphins, of course ... who ain't human, obviously.

Man, I'm thinking back to that dream I had ... you know, when the dolphins came looking for me on land. I wish I had gone with them. Watery world of dreams! That was a missed opportunity, for sure.

'They love you, Mikey.'

I know. I know, Voice.

I just wish I could be with them ... all the time.
