Our Substack is back on Substack's Rising list in Technology, at #73# this week, just below Big Technology and Don't Worry About the Vase. We first made the list at #42# in mid-October. Rising is ranked on paid subscriptions, so being back on it means more of you decided this work was worth paying for. Thank you, sincerely. And thank you to everyone here who reads, quotes and replies. That feedback shapes what we dig into next. We'll keep doing it the same way: Asian and US filings read in the original, and every number checked against its source. I sincerely thank all my fans. If you have any thoughts or opinions about me, please feel free to tell me, and I will respond to each one😘😘

Our Substack is #42# on Substack's Rising list in Technology this week, about two months after we opened it. That list moves on paid subscriptions, so this one is yours. Thank you to everyone who paid when the archive was still thin. You were betting on what we'd write next, and we know it. And thank you to everyone here who reads and replies with the thing we missed. Several of you have added a company or a data point to our maps this month, and the work is better for it. A special thanks to those of you who've quoted or reposted our work. Seeing a post travel like that is the kind of feedback that keeps us digging, and it pushes us to make the next one better. We'll keep doing it the same way: Taiwan monthly revenue, Korean trade data, Japanese and US filings, read in the original and turned into numbers you can price.

Wrote something for my Substack about the incredible yet not all that remarkable (for the time and place) life of one man who we’d never have heard of if his son didn’t go on to become heavyweight champion.
