Glencore: The Wealth of the World 🛢

[Freetrade_Team1 (Freetrade_Team)]

Those are all good points to consider if you’re thinking about investing in Glencore for sure. Interestingly not all of our customers consider the ethics of a company that important when they’re evaluating a stock but some (including me) definitely do.

Here’s why create these posts, (it’s not to recommend the stock) -

Keep up the good work Freetrade! I think the majority of people in the community appreciate the extra information provided in your articles.

@jazzersi

The articles are informative, as well as providing me with an insight into methods of evaluating a company. They also point me off into my own research.

Thanks! This is certainly what we are working to achieve with the Stock Takes and Weekend Reads, and we know it works (although we also see a lot of areas for improvement!). We receive a LOT of replies, and they are almost always uniformly saying ‘this is super interesting, thanks.’ My favourite message was along the lines of ‘I’ve just opened this email to unsubscribe, but it’s so interesting, I’ll stay on!’

The vision is exactly this - to switch you on to how exciting companies, index trackers, markets are and to encourage you to start doing your own research. A lot of lip service is paid to education, and we think creating content so interesting that we ourselves would want to consume as the right approach to make progress on it. There is nothing like it out in the market right now. To me, this sounds accurate:

I read a number of articles from Fools and other random from Google search and most of them are written to make you feel pumped or depressed about a stock, sector etc.
