Hi el, Yup, I always thought people who bought into ESG were off base. Just my first impression and I never gave it much of a thought. I now view it as a trend, that has been over played , by most. No rules or standards. It has gained popularity on its image. People who don't care about making money and running a very profitable business , can get lured away on side purposes. Wall Street of course wants to be hip and trending so they make it cool and build a brand on it. Banks (investment banks in particular) have molded their image. I'm dissing them as they have decided to pick on fossil fuel firms. The fact that they greatly contribute to the globes well being and quality of life has seemed to have been intentionally ignored. When they stopped funding fossil fuels, I got critical of them. I hope they all take another bath. It's about time the do gooders get a lesson on reality. I'm long a lot of oils, so in short screw them! <smile> It could well be a house of cards. ESG needs to be watched for it may become the next domino to topple. Totally agree! Have you been keeping busy? Did Omicron impact your area? Always good to see your work too! Bob
