I believe that good investors are successful not because of their IQ, but because they have an investing discipline. But, what is more disciplined than a machine?

ESG investing often marches under the same banner as 'stakeholder capitalism,' which maintains that corporations owe obligations to a range of constituencies, not only their shareholders.
We need to reorganize our entire system of retirement plan investing and to develop federal standards of fiduciary duty for pension trustees and fund managers. These require "top down" intervention. But we also need investors to look after their own economic interests, a bottom up approach to our problems that is well within our individual power to undertake.

I really want to emphasise this - 'Strictly' is a positive show.

Government, we are sometimes told, is just another word for things we choose to do together. Like a lot of things politicians say, this sounds good. And, also like a lot of things politicians say, it isn't the least bit true. Many of the things government does, we don't choose. Many of the things we choose, government doesn't do. And whatever gets done, we're not the ones doing it. And those who are doing it often interpret their mandates selfishly.
I like having young assistants in my office; they have energy, and I spend time with them to make sure they understand what we're doing. By investing in them, I'm investing in the magazine.
