@BrownMarubozu @BarRed321 Possibly ex-div?

@BarRed321 It went down. Now below where $FFH.TO bought 50k shares a month ago to the day.

I keep telling myself I won’t buy any more $FFH.TO because 58% of net assets seems like enough.

📢Calling all Text-as-Data researchers ⭐️CfP Text-as-Data session: Narratives, Culture and Perceptions💥World Economic History Congress,📍Lund 2025. CfP deadline⏰16th Nov '24⌛️. @ellliottt @phinifa @essobecker

@MoradiAlexander presenting research from the @TimeTravelData project titled “Narratives from European-African Encounters” at AEHN 2024 #AEHN #LEAP

@KarinPallaver and @coetzeelauren presenting the preliminary results of our project (with @MoradiAlexander @Edkerby and @UbuntR314) @AfEconHis meeting in Rome. "Currency areas in modern precolonial Africa: New insights from traveller accounts"

Yesterday, I successfully defended my PhD thesis! Huge thanks to my supervisors @JohanFourieZA and @Edkerby, committee, colleagues @LEAP_SU, friends, and family for their support. What a great learning experience – I wouldn't trade it for anything. Excited for what lies ahead.

Now on Early View: 'African time travellers: What can we learn from 500 years of written accounts?' By Edward Kerby, Alexander Monradi and Hanjo Odendaal. @Edkerby @MoradiAlexander @UbuntR314 @StellenboschUni @LEAP_SU @unibz_news @BERcoza onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.11…

@EcHistSocReview @Edkerby @MoradiAlexander @UbuntR314 @StellenboschUni @LEAP_SU @unibz_news @BERcoza @MoradiAlexander, @UbuntR314 and @edkerby are really having fun working on this project.

@mininghistory @MoradiAlexander @UbuntR314 Great question @mininghistory. All the production and development data resides on cloud servers with the usual backup/protections. We're working toward a more interactive website (funding pending), but the real analytical action sits here r-software.timetraveller.voyage. No risk of rot.

@MoradiAlexander @Edkerby @UbuntR314 Fantastic project. How is this data backed up though? The URL 'timetraveller.voyage' looks to me to be highly susceptible to link rot.

Come see @alexmoradi present a new paper on “Narratives from European-African Encounters (1400 - 1900)” at the @EcHistSoc. A 🧵 on this fascinating, ground-breaking research.

For comparison, how about an Econ textbook? Even @DAcemogluMIT has highs and lows to his micro textbook. Its starts wells and ends badly. The dismal science hits a low with market failure homework.

Can narrative arcs detect good stories from factual accounts? Exhibit 1: Adams (top) never travelled, while Livingstone (bottom) traversed the continent. Things were really bumpy for Livingstone with highs and lows of exploration in 1850. Adams had it too easy.

The Time Travellers are at the 2nd Bolzano Historical Economics Workshop @unibz_news, presenting Rimorfacta. Are Travellers to Africa (1500 - 1900) writing about facts or making up fiction?

@MoradiAlexander @JCBuggle @mara_squi @carciccar @Edkerby @UbuntR314 Can't wait to be there!

Rimorfacta = systematic #data from travellers in Africa (1500 - 1900). This data can answer important #economics questions about precolonial #agriculture, #slavetrade, gunpowder & violence, and #technology. @MoradiAlexander presenting this exciting new paper at the @AfEconHis.
