All my energy

yes, yes

Yes, all my energy must go towards my poems now. Well, nearly all. We only have so much energy, don't we, kooks?

ooo ooo ooo

How much energy do we get from chips though? That's the question. Last night I had rice and beans for me dinner. Tonight I will have chips.

Medinner. Not in bed though. That would be horrible.

Anyway ...

Time, time, time.

I'm worried that my time might be stolen next year by evil time thieves. Those characters are a serious problem, man. God knows how I'm going to write eleven poems before Christmas.

I must do it.

That blank one? There's no rush for it. I was staring at it again yesterday. Just staring. Wondering what to do, like.

But ten free ones, soon? Before Christmas, yes.

No squares, please. / By the way, my kooks ... my lack of clarity sometimes is me writing in "code" really that only I can understand. Just saying. Obviously, there is total clarity in the poems. However, if someone doesn't understand something, well ... there's nothing I can do. You dig?

Anyway ...

I must beat the time thieves before they find me. I know those bastards are looking for me.

When they show up ... ha, ha, ha! ... I'll have thirty poems, all written, and they won't be able to touch me.

Well, they can touch me, sure. They can steal time from me next year, but I will have the thirty poems.

After March.

Do you understand???

Beware the time thieves, my kooks! They are evil. They are stupid. They will destroy you if they can.

They steal your energy, too.

Are they agents of the state?

Maybe the deep state?

Well, maybe.

They might be agents of the devil. Or, at least, the low forces of the cosmos. Maybe the cosmos destroys weak souls in the form of the devil.

It's worth considering.

But don't spend too much time thinking about that shit! You don't have enough time. And you don't have enough energy.

I hope I'm getting through to you.

I hope all this helps you.

It certainly helps me.

Anyway ...

Laters.

To invest in Sofico ...

Well ...

Hello

Please find enclosed herewith the press release

Do not hesitate to contact us

All right, Steph.

'Are you going to contact them, boss?'

No. I'm not in the mood for contacting people.

'Oh.'

Uh.

'Are you going to do this PR email then?'

Yeah.

Ghent, Belgium / London, United Kingdom - 21st November 2023 - Astorg, a leading European private equity firm, is pleased to announce that it has signed an agreement to invest a 51% stake in Sofico (or the "Company") in partnership with Gémar Hompes and Piet Maes (the "Founders") and Apheon, all significantly reinvesting in the business. Sofico is a leading European provider of software solutions & services for the automotive leasing and mobility industry. Astorg, alongside the founders and Apheon who all intend to remain invested in the business, will actively support the acceleration of Sofico's development, organically and through M&A.

Fine.

For over three decades, the world's premier automotive, leasing and mobility services firms have relied on Sofico's software solutions to -

No, no, no.

It's cold. It's grey. It's wet.

Let's hear from the voices.

'Yippee!'

Be quiet.

Gémar Hompes, CEO of Sofico, says: "The interest shown by a renowned company like Astorg in Sofico is a testament to our drive for excellence, our adherence to strong company values and the pivotal role of our passionate people. Over the years, the trust and continued support of our customers have been integral to our success, and our dedication remains in providing them with superior products and services."

Passionate people. Who says they're passionate people?! 'Gemar does, boss.' And can this Gemar see into their hearts, their souls? 'Well ...' These "passionate people" might be fakers. All of them! Just going through the motions of ... business, and waiting for the ENDS.

Anyway ...

Piet Maes, CTO and Co-Founder of Sofico, comments: "We thank Apheon for their support over the past few years and look forward to the next stage of our journey. This partnership isn't a change in direction, but a boost in momentum. Now counting Astorg as another partner, we are gearing up for a future where we continue to lead, innovate, and set benchmarks in the automotive and mobility software sector."

The next stage of the journey. One day the journey will ENDS. You can be sure of that, Piet.

Where do they get their enthusiasm from???

Never mind. 

Lionel de Posson, Managing Partner, and Charles-Hubert Le Baron, Partner, of Astorg Mid-Cap, add:

'Oh no!'

Yes, Voice, together they will speak, like the girls from The Shining.

The mood I'm in. A cold Monday morning in winter. I really don't need this.

"We are very excited to partner with Sofico, its highly entrepreneurial leadership team, and Apheon. Ambition, innovation leadership for its customers, and a strong emphasis on nurturing talent and team engagement: these are pillars of Sofico's culture that we also embrace fully at Astorg. As a global leader, Sofico fits perfectly with Astorg's investment criteria, and we're eager to champion Sofico's next evolutionary phase."

They are very excited, but we are just scared.

Let's move on to Pieter.

'Let's finish with Pieter, and then forget them! Forget them all, Mikey! Forget the voices!'

Yes, yes. I will forget the voices, but ... not you, Voice.

'Thank Zeus!'

Pieter?

Pieter Lambrecht, Partner at Apheon, comments: "It has been a privilege to support Gémar, Piet and Sofico's outstanding team on their growth trajectory over the past years and welcoming a like-minded shareholder undoubtedly strengthens our collective ambition. Sofico's success has always revolved around a deep-rooted commitment to values, innovation, and most importantly, customers. Together with Sofico's management team and Astorg, we aim to achieve new milestones and further Sofico's success."

New milestones.

I just ...

Thanks, anyway, you voices.

Anything else?

I can only put my energy into words that will never become dust.

Bye.

Six lines of blankness

I haven't pushed it forward yet. I haven't wanted to. So, I've still got six lines. Yes, six lines of blankness that I stare at with a blank expression on my face.

Just meditating on it. A bit scared maybe.

Listen!

The cosmos has put me under pressure. I didn't choose the title. I didn't choose the subject matter. I can't really remember writing those six lines. I don't know how I was feeling. I don't know how I was thinking. Can't remember! It just all came to me. Some sort of gift, I suppose, but a gift with massive pressure.

It's my responsibility now to write a GREAT(!) poem. I must write another thirty lines of blankness.

And make no mistake: this is a once in a lifetime opportunity.

'Many lifetimes, Mikey. Do you think other poets have been offered this shit?! Wake up! And think again.'

Okay, okay. Thank you, Voice. I will think again.

This is a once in a trillion years opportunity. Talk about pressure!

'Ha, ha, ha!'

What, Voice?! FFS!

'You asked for it. You got it, man. It's no use crying now.'

All right. Idiot. I'm not crying!

[Did I ask for it???]

Anyway ...

I'm looking forward to writing those ten short free verse poems, like the two I've already got. They won't be easy, but ... you know? Don't worry about it.

'I'm not worried. You should be worried.'

I wasn't talking to you. I was talking to the kooks, and myself.

'Fair enough.'

This voice, really.

I just ...

Oh, Voice, what are you doing this Christmas?

'I'll be eating loads of mince pies on the astral plane.'

Oh.

'What will you be doing, boss? Eating loads of mince pies in the world?'

I'm on a diet. Well, I'm supposed to be on a diet.

'Why?! You're not going to be a rock star any more!'

You know why, Voice. There are many different kinds of stars.

'Of course. Sorry, I forgot.'

It's all right.

Listen ...

'I'm listening!'

Not you.

Listen ...

What I'm going to do will be unique. No one has ever done it. And it wasn't even my choice. The cosmos, and Billy, and Dr M wanted it.

I want it? Yeah, yeah. Ha! My life, eh?

Well, I have to admit I was sceptical at first, but I'm totally onboard with it now. They've convinced me.

Laters.

LSEG Lipper: European fund flow report - October 2023

Well, well, well. This is a turn-up for the book, ain't it?

The promoters of mutual funds in Europe faced outflows for October (-€19.0 bn) while the promoters of ETFs enjoyed estimated net inflows (+€15.2 bn).

Long-term products (-€45.0 bn) faced outflows for the month as well as over the course of 2023 year to date (-€27.6 bn). Conversely, money market products enjoyed inflows for October (+€41.3 bn) and for the first 10 months of 2023 (+€85.8 bn).

Money market products (+€41.3 bn) enjoyed the highest estimated net inflows for the month, while bond products (+€110.5 bn) were the best-selling asset type for 2023 so far.

In My Life.

The best-selling Lipper global classification for October was Money Market EUR (+€30.1 bn), followed by Money Market USD (+€6.7 bn) and Target Maturity Bond EUR (+€5.8 bn).

JPMorgan was the best-selling fund promoter in Europe for October (+€7.1 bn), while BlackRock (+€64.4 bn) was the best-selling fund promoter for the year 2023 so far.

Okay. Okay.

Detlef Glow, Head of EMEA Research at LSEG Lipper, comments: "The European fund industry witnessed overall outflows over the course of October 2023. These outflows occurred in a further unstable market environment in which some asset classes nevertheless showed positive results while others performed negatively. That said, especially equity indices faced a drawback over the course of the month, which contributed to the overall cautious sentiment of European investors. More generally, the market sentiment in October was also driven by hopes that central banks - especially the U.S. Federal Reserve - may have reached the last phase of its fight against high and further increasing inflation rates and may, therefore, start to keep interest rates at least stable quite soon. Some investors already think there might be room for decreasing interest rates later this year, which might be reflected by the estimated inflows in bond ETFs.

"Nevertheless, these estimates are under scrutiny since the Fed seems to be further in a hawkish mode, as the rate outlook still includes potentially an additional rate hike this year and fewer rate cuts in 2024. Also, there are still some concerns about geopolitical tensions and the continuing normalization of disrupted delivery chains, as well as the continued possibility of recession in the U.S. and other major economies around the globe. These fears are raised by inverted yield curves, which are seen as an early indicator for a possible recession."

Detlef ... don't be a stranger, eh?

ENDS

...

Anything else? Poetry?

I've got a plan. Let's hope I can stick to it.

'What's the plan, boss?'

Uh. If you hang on a moment, Voice, I'll tell you. I'll tell everyone.

'All right, don't get upset.'

I'm not upset!

Anyway. Yeah. Here's the plan to get twenty poems before Christmas, meaning I've got to write eleven.

I'll work 24/7 - when I'm not blogging, like, or doing other shit that needs to be done. I'll finish my blank verse poem. That one has got to be a masterpiece. And then I'll write ten short free verse poems, up to roughly forty lines in length, maybe 150 to 220 words, or something like that. You dig? I have two poems like that. I put one of them in the competition. It's pretty intense. The other one is cool as well.

Anyway ...

Yeah, that's my plan.

I just need the world to leave me alone for a few weeks.

'Ha!'

Laters.

Blank

Yeah, yeah. Feeling blank.

Listen! I need a chunk of blank verse. Just before Christmas. That's the best present I could give myself. And the world.

Yes, the world. Because I've decided it's going to be the best chunk of blank verse ever. Thirty-six lines.

How?!

You start work on it, my friends, and you don't stop work until it is what I said it will be. Or what you said - if you're doing something of your own, like.

Learn from me, kooks.

'Listen to him!'

If you want ... you can start work on a small poem, and you can finish it ten or twenty years from now. It's up to you. Or a book. Or a painting. And I won't judge you. No! Work as hard as you can. Work as well as you can. Just finish it when the time is right.

Whatever it is, or will be.

'You said before Christmas, Mikey.'

Well, that's what I'm hoping, Voice. I reckon I might be able to get it done by Christmas. But I'll also be working on some small free verse poems. I really need twenty poems by the end of the year, man. And then thirty by March.

Anyway ...

Oh, I'll be writing a conceptual today about a fresh start that doesn't exist. Ha, ha, ha! Were you expecting a PR email this morning?

'Fools!'

Don't be too hard on them, Voice. They obviously believed me last week.

Uh.

But I meant it at the time. That's the thing. But life is ... chaotic.

'Your life!'

Yes, my life.

Listen! When I start my real fresh start, you won't even notice it, kooks. One day, you'll just say to yourself: "Why is he writing about finance all the time in a finance blog? Weird!"

'That'll be the day!'

Ah.

Listen! Listen to me! My poetry isn't even touched by chaos. This blog is saturated with chaos. But my poetry isn't even touched! Try to imagine that!

Imagine how good that feels!

And the poems are complete. / A song is never complete because there's always the prospect of some session musician improvising a guitar solo over it.

'It may be a very good solo.'

Listen! It may be a great solo! Especially if you've got someone like Mick Ronson hanging around.

You dig?

I hope you understand what I'm talking about, readers, because this shit is important.

Christ.

Listen -

The best feeling you can have as an artist is to be pure and complete with zero chaos.

Laters.

'Bye!'

Note: I'm writing about chaos in my new poem, BUT(!) ... it's all under control. It's the subject matter, that's all.

I mean ...

I might as well.

'Boss?'

I might as well write about poetry, Voice, because I'll be doing my fresh start next week, won't I?

'Yeah.'

Don't be like that.

'What?'

Your tone of voice, Voice.

'Ha!'

Anyway ...

I've been thinking about the technical side of poetry. I mean, could I become a technical master like Auden or Mahon, and is that even important?

To be honest, I'm not sure it's important. The only real reward for becoming a master of technique is the admiration of a few characters, experts, like. But your average person won't care that much because the content of the poems is the most important thing. What are the poems actually saying? You know? How do they make people feel ... or think?

I mean ... Auden has about twenty or thirty great or entertaining poems, but a lot of his poems are as boring as hell, especially the later ones.

I don't know.

And I'm thinking, also ... instead of using established forms like sonnets, it might be better to create your own forms these days when it comes to traditional poetry. I mean ... I don't know. Do you know, kook(s)? / I don't want to write blank verse all the time, or free verse all the time. The thing is ... There's nothing is a traditional poem, but it has its own form, my form, and own rhyme scheme, with a couple of short lines that look like free verse, so ... do you know what I mean? / The "traditional" poem that I put in the competition is the same.

Dylan Thomas had this problem. I mean, worrying about this shit. He eventually settled on counting syllables in his later work, his most mature stuff. However, that might have been a mistake because of the nature of the English language with all its strong stresses.

Actually, free verse and blank verse are quite simple when it comes to the technical side. The only thing you've got to do is control every line. To make sure that every line is as interesting and ... as full of vitality as it can be. You dig?

Yeah, yeah.

Of course, I won't be writing about poetry in this blog any more and ... I always change my mind, so ...

Never mind.

It doesn't matter.

Oh ... I need thirty lines for my new blank verse poem. I mean, I've decided. I've got six. I need another thirty.

'Thirty-six, boss!'

What?! Oh, yeah. That's how long it will be.

I might take my time with this one. Those six lines, and the subject, and the title, were really a gift from the cosmos BECAUSE I had no idea what I was doing at first. BUT NOW I KNOW ... and I must deliver GREATNESS, you dig?

Laters!

'Bye!'
