The doleful moo of a cow

Moo moo

Or the hoot of an owl.

A hungry owl ...

Oh Zeus ...

I'm just not in the mood, but ...

Nov. 28, 2023, Moomoo Technologies Inc. ("MTI") announced today that the company is featured in the upcoming CBS "The Innovators & Disruptors" series with its moomoo app, an advanced investment and trading platform that has been reshaping the investment industry with its easy-to-use tools, data, and market insights.

No endorsement, but -

Moo moo!

'Why don't they grow up, boss?'

I don't know, Voice.

The current global financial markets present a 24/7 nonstop platform for both institutional and retail investors. However, the overflow of information on social media and the privileged access to analysis make retail investors less informed as they lack access to curated data and information. Moomoo entered the market as an industry innovator, focusing on the delivery of essential and pro-grade level tools and an intuitive platform to provide retail users more resources to make informed investment decisions.

Uh.

Or they could just read my blog, these users.

'Yeah.'

Yeah, yeah.

Anyway ...

Chad?

"Moomoo is thrilled to be included in the CBS Innovators series," says Chad Smith, Chief Marketing Officer, Moomoo Technologies Inc. "We believe the moomoo platform is truly breaking new ground with its tools, community, and education." 

Moo moo is thrilled. Who the hell is this moo moo?!

'It's a cow.'

What?! It's a cow, running a company? The whole world has gone insane!

Listen, kooks, we can't have cows running companies.

'Why not?'

Er ...

'Seriously, boss. Why not?'

ENDS
ENDS
ENDS

...

Anything else?

Yeah, next year ... from 1st January, obviously ... I'm going with The Xavier Rolet System ... Mondays to Fridays ... 24/7-ish. With no entertainments at all. The only danger is ... anxiety creeping in at the weekends when I'm "relaxing" ... however ... maybe I'll be too knackered to be anxious.

Of course, Owlman Land will alter that plan, but I don't know yet when I'll be seeing him in his land, so ...

Never mind.

You dig?

'Stock up on pasties, Mikey!'

Yeah, yeah.

Listen!

I remember, a few years ago, when I was sleeping in the other room ... a crazy commotion in the yard at midnight. Mad noise! "What's that?!" ... I thought. 'Ha! I know!' Shut up, Voice! I'm telling the story. 'Okay.' Anyway, I flashed my torch out of the window, and everything suddenly went quiet. You could have heard a pin drop. 'Ha!' And what did I see? 'Tell them!' Three or four baby foxes just staring up at me.

It's not my problem

Don't you understand?

I'll be staring at the sea ...

So, it's not my problem.

It's a terrible shame about life getting to you the way it does.
It's a terrible shame about The World getting to you the way it does.

However, I will be staring at the sea.

And you might like to think - when it happens - what a terrible shame it was that I fell off a rock.

But I will only be making an early start. Getting ahead of the game, as it were. Before you even have a clue.

And I've given you enough clues, haven't I? But you still don't have The Clue.

Never mind.

Worse things happen at sea, and I should know ... because I spend all of my time thinking about them. / Well, a lot of my time.

The dolphins will be pleased to see me.
That's the good news.

They won't be pleased to see you, if you ever show up. You haven't prepared your consciousness, have you? You've made no effort at all.

Never mind.

Just stay in the world ... for another ten years, or twenty years, thirty years ... whatever.

Stay away from the sea.

I don't want to see you on the beach, waving at me, all angry about this or that - like it's my problem.

It's not my problem.
It won't ever be my problem.

Whatever the concern is ...

I just ...

You're talking to the wrong person!
I don't have any solutions for you.

Don't you understand?!

You seem to think it's a serious matter.
It isn't.

Listen.
I'll be gone with the dolphins.
Before any of you.
Before you realize: "That bastard Mikey got in early, and what has he left us with?"

Er ...

Well, what will I have left you with?

Probably a waste land. Probably something as grim as that.

It won't be my problem though.

LSEG Lipper European ETF market report - November 2023

Er ...

Review of the European ETF Market, November 2023

All right. Fair enough. 'Where's Detlef?!' Hang on!

Anyway ...

Key findings:

ETF promoters in Europe enjoyed estimated net inflows (+€17.8 bn) for November 2023.
Assets under management in the European ETF industry increased over the course of November to €1,501.5 bn.
Equity ETFs (+€11.9 bn) posted the highest estimated net inflows in the European ETF industry for November.
The best-selling Lipper global classification for November was Equity U.S. (+€5.7 bn), followed by Equity Global (+€5.4 bn) and Bond EUR Corporates (+€2.9 bn).
iShares was the best-selling ETF promoter in Europe for November (+€8.6 bn), ahead of Amundi ETF (+€2.1 bn) and Vanguard (+€1.8 bn).
The 10 best-selling ETFs gathered estimated net inflows of €8.5 bn for November.
The best-selling ETF for November, iShares Core € Corp Bond UCITS ETF EUR D, enjoyed estimated net inflows €2.4 bn.

Hello, Detlef!
 
Detlef Glow, Head of Lipper EMEA Research at LSEG says: "Hi guys! Anyway ... November 2023 was another month with strong inflows into ETFs. Overall, the inflows for the year so far look like the European ETF industry will least witness the second-best year in history, but there is also a small chance that we may witness the year with the highest inflows in ETFs in history. The success of ETFs is not reflected in the overall fund industry, as active managed mutual funds witness high outflows, and the gap is set to increase further."

Oh, all right.

'Nice one, Detlef!'

Er ...

'Interview with who, boss? Detlef or Hayley?'

I don't know, Voice.

I don't give interviews, anyway.

Never mind.

...

Anything else?

Yeah, yeah.

Listen, kooks. I'm not even joking now. I've got to do a serious fresh start next year on 1st January, you dig?

And a real killer one, too. I mean, a Krishna guy one. You remember how he was, yeah? Raving lunatic, but he got results. Eighty books, twenty albums, over a hundred temples, a chain of restaurants, a - the list goes on! All in twelve years when he should have been enjoying his retirement. Pure insanity!

But that's what it will take. / Remember: Small goals are for small souls. Go large, my friends! Ha, ha, ha!

Anyway ...

I've got to decide: I can only have one piece of motivational entertainment. To break the silence, as it were or will be. I'll probably go for the twenty minutes of the Battle of Gaugamela in that Alexander film. On a loop, like.

I need something crazy, man. I mean, a lifestyle that is crazy. Something people will gawp at, and say: "That boy's crazy!"

Do you know what I mean???

My physical life has got to be as extreme as my mental life. People have got to witness it.

'Stay hard!'

Laters.

I've decided!

Oh, yes ... uh, indeed.

'What, boss?'

The Xavier Rolet System is no good. You know, Monday to Friday, with the weekends off.

'Why not? What's wrong with it?'

Voice, it's best to relax in the evenings, check the news, watch some YouTube videos, maybe a film, you dig?

So, it's better to use ... [drum roll] ... The Michael Fowke System.

'And what the hell is that, then?!'

Ha, ha, ha!

Seven days a week, early in the morning, between five and six ... until half eight at night, and then relax.

'Oh.'

Because under The Xavier Rolet System, if there's an interesting video on YouTube that I really want to watch, or some heavy breaking news ... or anything really ... just a walk in the park ... I won't be able to do anything about it until the weekend. I mean, our Xavier was in the Goldman office, 24/7, Monday to Friday, surrounded by people no doubt, and immersed in the Goldman culture no doubt, and -

'You need your own culture, Mikey!'

Exactly, Voice. And how the hell am I supposed to get my own culture, and my own reality, with the way things are?

'It's difficult.'

It's impossible. I really think it's impossible - at the moment. But not for ever!

Ha, ha, ha!

'Stay hard!'

I tell you, kooks: the bland reality of the world can be beaten. Unfortunately, it takes ... well, a few things. Let's leave it there.

'What?'

Laters!

'Oh, all right. / Bye, kooks!'

Oh, also, free weekends allow negative thoughts to creep in. Just saying.

The Two Charlies

So ...

'Is it a new TV show, boss?'

No, Voice.

'Oh.'

Idiot.

Anyway ...

Charlie Huggins, Manager of the Quality Shares Portfolio at Wealth Club shares his reflections on the life of Charlie Munger.

'Oh I see! / You know, it would be much easier for everyone, boss, if you didn't mess around with these PR emails.'

Shut up.

Charlie? Come on, son!

"Every year Charlie Munger shared his wisdom, alongside his long-time investment partner, Warren Buffett, at Berkshire Hathaway's annual general meeting. Every year I listened intently. It's no exaggeration to say that without these meetings, I wouldn't be half the investor I am today. I may not even be investing at all."

He wouldn't be half the Charlie he is! Think about that, kooks. Everyone needs a mentor.

"Buffett aside, Charlie Munger has taught me more about investing than all other investors combined. No other person on the planet, not even his business partner, had his ability to boil down business and investment principles to their core essence. Munger was a man of few words, but every one dripped with insight. Munger could pack more wisdom into a single sentence than some people get across in a lifetime.

"Munger was hugely intelligent, but so are a lot of people. It wasn't his intellect that set him apart. It was his common sense and rationality. Munger paid zero attention to conventional wisdom and was the dictionary definition of independent. He excelled at pouncing on investment opportunities, when everyone else was running for the hills. And he played a huge role in Buffett's metamorphosis from an investor in cheap 'cigar butts' to embracing great businesses, like See's Candies and Coca-Cola.

"But arguably, it isn't his investment prowess that Charlie Munger will be most remembered for. It's his understanding of human psychology. His magnum opus talk, 'The Psychology of Human Misjudgment', provides great insights on why we behave the way we do. In my opinion, no one understood the common flaws and biases in human behaviour and judgement better than Charlie Munger. No one internalised these principles to greater effect. And no one did more to share this wisdom with others.

"Many people seek success by trying to grasp the esoteric rather than master the obvious. Munger was the opposite. Key to Munger's success was his ability to invert problems: finding what didn't work - and then avoiding that like the plague. In Munger's own words - 'It's remarkable how much long-term advantage people like us have gotten by trying to be consistently not stupid, instead of trying to be very intelligent.'

"I will never see another investor like Charlie Munger. His patience, common sense, self-awareness and judgement were remarkable in isolation, never mind in combination. And they were married with a dry wit that meant people actually listened - and enjoyed doing so.

"His wisdom will live on for generations."

ENDS

Thanks, Charlie.
