12 May 2022While I am sure you are attracting a younger set of new clients with your engaging and contemporary style, I appeal to you from your older readers to always consider whether some of the terms or concepts may need some further explanation.

12 May 2022Hi Helen! Absolutely, I would be keen to know which jargon needs to be busted? I try to explain terms where I can but I’m sure I miss a few. Let me know which ones you think warrant more detail? Thanks, Ghost

14 May 2022Hi
As an older person trying to invest on the Stock Exchange, and also trying to make head or tail of the JSE up, down shenanigans, I agree with Helen. We look forward to your comments, but we dont have a financial background. So elucidation of your comments re whats happening on the JSE and other financial opportunities elsewhere would be great. Investing on the JSE is not for the fainthearted these days. i.e thank goodness we got out of Aveng for example!!

15 May 2022Investing ANYWHERE isn’t easy at the moment, just look at offshore markets! I hope you’ll find that I explain as many concepts as possible, it’s been the way I built Ghost Mail from the start as a small weekly publication. This is especially true in the feature articles. Genuinely, if you find there are terms that aren’t being explained properly, please do point them out to me so I can improve! 🙂
