The 🐿️ has a beef The Blind Squirrel's 'Monday' Morning Notes. Year 3; Week 29.

When I first moved to Australia, the 🐿️ was barely allowed to touch his own barbecue let alone get anyone near anyone else’s! Apparently, the application of direct heat to raw meat is the exclusive birth right of Aussie blokes!

How many investors in the $EEM or $EMXC ETFs know that they own more Saudi Aramco than South African or Mexican equities in their emerging market allocation? Yeah, probably not that many right?
