ESG and anti-ESG

[Anonymous No.51044890]

How do I profit from this market aberration?

On one hand, non-ESG companies are more efficient because they don't implement faux diversity. So I should invest in tobacco, small medium energy, utilities, coal miners.

On the other hand, Blackrock gets free government money to pump up the prices of ESG garbage. So I should invest in Blackrock's ESG ETFs because good goys will buy my bags.

What's the profit strategy here?

Unironical a good thread, every large financial institution will only invest in ESG compliant companies.

On the other hand I think companies that decide to stay/be non ESG will try to compensate with more dividend etc.

Basically the question will be if you bet on the modern western world or the rest of the world.

There is an article about Thiel's Strive Asset Management:
https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2022-05-19/the-tricky-politics-of-a-new-asset-firm-backed-by-peter-thiel
https://archive.is/uzKJ5

>Strive Asset Management seeks to take on the Big Three — BlackRock Inc., State Street Corp. and Vanguard Group Inc. — accusing them of coordinating a campaign to push political objectives that are at odds with their clients’ best interests. In essence, BlackRock CEO Larry Fink et al. decide that they want to prioritize tackling climate change or systemic racism or whatnot and then use the trillions of passive dollars they invest to force companies to prioritize that, too. Strive will do the opposite, pushing instead “excellence capitalism” — that is, nudging companies to ditch the political stuff and focus on delivering good products and services.

Invest in LED bulbs, companies will be swapping out fluorescent lights with LEDs for a bevvy of reasons (besides being objectively better)
>They use half the power of fluorescent lights, and by extension produce fewer carbon emissions
>They last longer so they have to be replaced less often, additionally reducing one's carbon footprint
>Power companies are already offering rebates on LED bulbs

Interesting. Looks like their spectrum is also more balanced so maybe better for workers.

I bought into an ETF, ticker DRLL. Only a small position as I don't know how they will do when ESG becomes the norm. This ETF brands itself as anti-ESG.

Yeah and the strobe/flicker isn't nearly as bad.

I've been trying to get my office to make the switch by framing it as an ESG initiative, my manager said it's up to the property management company but they've already started installing them in the stairwells and in some hallways. It's one of the few ESG grifts I don't actually mind because it seems like an actual step forward.

conceding to "esg" is like declaring your "pronouns", or encouraging your son to tun into your daughter. those that bow down are doing so against their own best interests to appease those that only want control, not progress.

any company or blockchain that puts "esg" at any priority is in for death by a thousand cuts.

death by a thousand cuts is a far cry from not the most lucrative investment, do you think lockheed martin or coca cola are going away because they have diversity training seminars?

The question is not about going away, the question is whether or not they will fail to deliver returns provided by alternative non-ESG investments.

there's a difference between monopolies that can eat into their own profits for the sake of misguided or dangerous ideology and companies that will never get there in the first place due to them.

Hey fucktards, ESG is real and will be the 1st actually use case that accelerates government and private equity into crypto 100x.

i don't care. the point is "esg" is a universal profit sink and nothing else, the investment would be there with or without it, but with it you simply get less returns.

Suck strangers' dicks for money, then invest your cash in hiring prostitutes to work for you. Eventually, you can blackmail politicians who have had their dicks sucked by your prostitutes. You can apply for grants from Mossad or the CIA to run this blackmail ring. Eventually, you can buy your own island and a private jet to shuttle politicians to your island.

The trick is to always go bigger.

ESG is already dead so there's mot much money left to make.

>non-ESG companies are more efficient

G doesn't just mean diversity hiring. It means having a strong board, experienced men in positions of authority and an overall good organisational structure.

That kind of criteria can be good or bad. Usually bad but there's the odd chance you invest in a company run by a despotic monster that turns into the next Alibaba.

Hmmm. Then someone must have made the anti-ESG money. What did they do, specifically? What were the profitable trades?

Total stock market index funds and factor funds. ESG has no long term data on long term returns.
