Juggling Dynamite

This is a long one, but many enlightened observations in this clip, especially in the first hour or so.  Always cathartic to hear someone call ‘bollocks’ on mainstream financial memes and explain why the focus must be on protecting and enabling savings to endure rather than ‘running money’ and ‘playing markets’.

Tony’s thoughtful, patient approach to the allocation of his investors’ capital has yielded exceptional returns – and his disciplined investment philosophy offers an eye-opening insight into many of the problems inherent in the modern-day asset management business.Here is a direct video link.

All over the world people are learning to grow food in urban centers again.  Armed with some new tech and fresh thinking, output is thriving on roof tops, in warehouses, vertical surfaces and vacant land. Healthy food for less, with a fraction of the carbon footprint. This is what smart looks like. See  Paris to turn a third of its green space into urban farms:

“It all started when the city’s mayor, Anne Hidalgo, who was elected in 2014, declared her intention to make Paris a greener city. The Paris government responded to her call in 2016 by launching Parisculteurs, a project which aims to cover the city’s rooftops and walls with 100 hectares (247 acres) of vegetation by 2020. One third of the green space, according to its plan, should be dedicated to urban farming.”
