Ann: Net Tangible Asset Backing January 2024 with commentary, page-7

Hey Cutty,

I tried to "fact check" this, as regards whether he is a complete dud or not. as far as I can see, he married wealth, got a prezzie of $1m and turned it into $1bn, so I reckon he is absolutely NOT clueless and if I could do anything like that....happy daze!!

So while were well entitled to bitch about his recent abysmal performance ( Updater and Calix [until recently]), he is far from being an idiot and we should maybe cut him some slack.

the fund is at a 45% discount to @tax NAV and that is because no-one is buying it and are popping their bitter and twisted tablets, rather than trying to make money!
We can fix that and also encourage some marketing initiatives. Being open ended btw also gives you scope to add funds and therefor more mgmt fees.

And yes, running a fund at 1% plus mgmt fees is a racket and we should all be in cheap vanguard et al etf's, but for another day.
