A
few years back, I got some of my money a job at Colgate. I brush my teeth every
day, twice a day. I plan to continue doing that. I like businesses that solve
problems people recognise. That solve them in a way that the customer is happy.
Buying toothpaste is not something I think about a lot. Regular, content,
repeat business. I also like companies that laugh in the general direction of
Nation States. Multi-national companies that recognise that where you are born
is pretty random. That have suppliers, customers, and shareholders all over the
world. The great thing about my money working at Colgate is it can’t be made
redundant without the other owners and managers hurting too. Some knob nut can’t
turn around and decide to let my money go because they had to make a “tough
business decision”. My money’s life isn’t turned upside down by some clown with
the power over a real person’s life. People need toothpaste. My money makes
toothpaste. Can I think about something else?
