On chocolate makers, immoral logic and software companies

Value in chocolate
I enjoyed the Barry Callebaut write-up (“Barry Callebaut” Vol. 4, No. 2). Thanks for sharing it. Your analysis was clear and convincing, especially about the company's strength despite higher cocoa prices. The points on their pricing model and growth prospects boosted my confidence in considering them as an investment.

Immoral logic?
I think the article on why moral investors should own “evil” companies (“Hear no evil, speak no evil, own no evil?” Vol. 4, No. 10) missed the mark. Saying that buying these companies stops bad people from profiting seems off. It ignores the bigger picture and the real harm these businesses can do. Also, the idea that investing in them will make them behave better feels too simple. There are better ways to support ethical practices without backing harmful industries.

Big T energy
Your piece about tech eating the world (“Software is still eating the world” Vol. 4, No. 10) was spot on. Software and AI are taking over, and big tech will keep ruling. Nice work!
