Hmm, it's not in the S&P database as yet @twee . Or at least not under that name.. still has it marked as delisted, so I assume the ticker was used previously by another company?

I'll try again in the coming days, as it should bubble through their systems soon.

@Strawman is BPG added yet? cheers.

Should be good now @twee

Fully agree @UncleWally! MFPro was life changing in many ways. I was barely 6M-ish into MF, doing stupid things, before MFPro came up. It was on pure blind faith I paid up, acted as instructed, and the rest is history, still playing out today ... It wasnt only about the stunning returns, but the education on how to properly invest that made the difference

LHGG and Maven is part of my diversification and risk management strategy in terms of companies, global vs domestic and keyman/investment style and have signed up to both on day dot.

A few years back, prior to joining SM, I looked to LH and Maven to get ideas - "if it was good for Joe and/or Matt, it must be good for me" was my mindset. But since joining SM, that approach no longer made sense as trying to replicate their holdings worked against my diversification strategy.

Long may their success continue!

The elusive Matt Joass! I really like his way of thinking about stocks. Mader Group is one of my big holdings that has done well thanks to him. Excellent score @Strawman .

I'm sure there are many happy investors in the Maven Small Companies Fund among the Straw fraternity

Fabulous, I enjoy Matts thinking and strategic approach. Also good to listen to.

Thanks @Strawman for getting Matt Joass on!

Great conversation, and really interesting to hear his take on a few companies, whether AI is a bubble, and how he approaches his process. I’m also invested in the Maven fund, so it was valuable hearing his perspective directly.

I think AI is a great tool, but as Matt pointed out, its foundations and limitations still matter. In some ways it already reminds me of social media and how quickly it can shape narratives.

I couldn’t help thinking of that post on Twitter/X while he was talking about AI:

“The dumbest person you know is being told: ‘You’re absolutely right!’ by ChatGPT.”

You have to check out South Park's take on this @Magneto. Absolutely nails it.

Here's a clip that gets at what you're talking about
