• When winter hits, be prepared with the best boots for inclement weather.
• Whether you're interested in stylish or utilitarian boots, here are 15 great choices.
• All these boots are insulated and waterproof or water-resistant.

Winter is on the way and when the temperature drops, you better have something on your feet that will keep your toes from freezing. Whether you're looking for a boot that's super stylish or a utilitarian boot for shoveling snow, we've put together a guide to 15 of the best choices available.

At the very least, a winter boot should be waterproof and have insulation, whether from materials like PrimaLoft or Thinsulate, which are both lightweight and made of synthetic fibers, or wool, which some people prefer since it isn't man-made.

Besides waterproofing and insulation, a third major consideration is how a boot will handle icy conditions. Look for a boot with good traction. Many of the selections below use outsoles from Vibram, a storied Italian company famed for its rubber lug soles.

The last consideration is use. We've included winter boots that work for the office or social events but can still handle foul weather, all the way to boots built for winter hiking through snow and across ice. And many that fall in between these two extremes. You're probably not going to want to wear a handmade pair of Italian boots to shovel snow or sport high rubber boots at the office, but we're sure you'll find exactly what you need in this roundup.

Here are the best winter boots for men in 2021: L.L.Bean 10-inch Shearling-Lined Bean Boots

favor que nada de lo que escriba se tome como una recomendación de ningún tipo y sobretodo pediría que nadie copie ninguna posición ni de Azagala ni de nadie sin estudiar a fondo la compañía. Mi intención es ayudar al que pueda estar interesado en este tipo de compañías a estudiarlas y dedicarles tiempo, no a invertir en ellas y mucho menos

Buenas tardes Daniel,

Primeramente, agradecerle la coherencia que destila en cada uno de los webinars en los que ha participado. No me cabe duda de que a Azagala le espera un futuro brillante con usted al frente.

Teniendo medianamente clara la filosofía del fondo, si tiene a bien agradecería encarecidamente que comentase un poco cual es el día a día en el fondo y si además de usted hay algún analista, etc.

Como comentaba en el Webinar, Azagala está enfocado a un nicho de mercado en el que es fundamental la “artesanía” en lo que a inversión se refiere, requiriendo alguna compañía hasta varios meses de estudio.

De esta forma, se pueden dar situaciones que considero críticas en la gestión de un fondo, como por ejemplo que varias empresas se pongan en precio (que será una alegría), pero que requerirán de buscar otros candidatos, ¿podría dar alguna pincelada a grosso modo del proceso de búsqueda de compañías? Supongo que partirán de screeners dirigidos a el tipo de compañías que les gusta.

Todo ello lo digo, porque el trabajo será prácticamente el mismo para 5 que para 50 millones, pero 50 millones permitirían tener algo más de estructura de análisis de compañías, etc. Al fin y al cabo usted tiene que tener vida fuera de la gestión de Azagala.

Un saludo y muchas gracias de antemano.

In general, I like investing in funds because I don’t have time to analyze each individual investment, and, a lot of the most interesting individual investments sell out before you can even invest.

So I think the higher return on effort strategy (ROE) is to invest in the right manager that has the right vision. My vision has been to invest in the heartland of America and residential real estate for a long time now. As a result, Fundrise is a synergistic partner.

I’ve read all their annual reports the past for years and our outlook is very much aligned.

• Beijing's regulatory crackdown that began last year is now spreading to Chinese brokerage firms.

The year-long regulatory crackdown from Beijing has now spread to Chinese brokerage firms that give mainland investors access to trade US stocks.

The state-run People's Daily newspaper said Chinese online brokerages could face violations and compliance risks once a new data privacy law takes effect on November 1, according to Reuters. They give Chinese investors access to securities that trade in other markets like the US and Hong Kong.

This latest regulatory crackdown follows an ongoing trend of Chinese authorities going after different industries, from Jack Ma's Alibaba and Ant Group, to private tutoring companies and video game firms.

The new data privacy rule will regulate the export of personal information, which would make compliance difficult for online brokerage firms that offer cross-border trading services.

Shares of UP Fintech and Futu Holdings fell as much as 24% and 15%, respectively, in Thursday trades. These Chinese brokerages don't have licenses in mainland China, but allow Chinese citizens to open up accounts after submitting personal information derived from IDs, tax records, and bank statements.

The People's Daily asked, "after personal information is collected, where does it go?"

If brokerage firms are unable to comply or adapt to the new privacy data law taking effect next month, they could be forced to cut off mainland Chinese investors' access to trading US and other foreign stocks.

Groove Raises $45 Million Series B Round

SAN FRANCISCO - October 14, 2021 - Groove, the leading sales engagement platform for enterprises using Salesforce, today announced that it has raised a $45 million Series B round of funding, led by Viking Global Investors. Existing investors Capital One Ventures, Level Equity, Quest Venture Partners, and Uncork Capital also participated in the round. Groove plans to use the funding to expand its international operations and accelerate its momentum in the enterprise segment of the market, having grown enterprise ARR 114% in the past twelve months with new customers that include Activision, iHeartMedia, LexisNexis, New Relic, TIBCO, Veeva, and Wintrust.

The global shift to digital selling as a result of the pandemic is driving convergence in two of the fastest-growing sales technology categories: sales engagement and revenue operations. As enterprises look to manage large and distributed revenue teams, they are seeking platforms that integrate the productivity benefits of workflow automation with the insights gleaned through revenue operations software.

Digital selling has also exposed a key weakness in most companies’ Salesforce deployments - lack of adoption. In fact, an August 2021 Forrester Consulting “State of CRM” study, commissioned by Salesforce, found that 57% of respondents struggled to maintain good customer experiences because their CRM systems were not well-integrated or accessible. Groove solves this accessibility problem by meeting sellers where they already work, increasing rep productivity while ensuring over 90% Salesforce adoption.

“This notion of the sales engagement platform as a cockpit for sellers is likely to continue to drive further integrations between other sales tech categories and these platforms as the advantages of bringing everything to the seller where they sell (the original vision for CRM technology) become more widely recognized,” said Anthony McPartlin, Principal Analyst for Forrester Research in a recent blog post.

Industry-Leading Seller Adoption Rates

Groove is the only sales engagement platform that integrates seamlessly into existing seller workflows, driving up usage and Salesforce adoption as a result. Groove’s industry-leading seller adoption rates enable enterprises to leverage complete and comprehensive data to run a more accurate, predictive, and effective GTM process.

“Our enterprise customers want to enable the modern seller while ensuring the highest levels of enterprise security and compliance,” said Chris Rothstein, co-founder, and CEO of Groove. “We’re capturing a significant amount of enterprise market share from our competition because our platform was built for the needs of large, complex organizations that rely on Salesforce as their system of record. We bring automation to the seller instead of requiring that they work out of a separate system. This flexibility ensures extremely high user adoption rates, even with technology averse sellers in non-tech industries.”

Over the last year, Groove has expanded its revenue intelligence capabilities with auto-contact capture, real-time opportunity and pipeline management and enhanced ROI reporting. Through this expanded capability set, Groove enables revenue leaders to make real-time, data-driven business decisions based on sales engagement outcomes across a wide variety of roles, teams, and divisions.

“Our sales operations have been transformed because of Groove,” said Matthew Mullin, Senior Director of Global Marketing Operations and Technology at Tenable. “Our sellers are armed with productivity tools and workflow automation that makes them more effective at their jobs, and we can now rely on accurate, real-time data in Salesforce to make informed decisions.”

Groove won the TrustRadius “Best Of” Awards in 2021 for best usability, feature set, and best customer service in the sales engagement category, and has been the highest-rated sales engagement platform on G2 for three years in a row.

About Groove

Groove is the leading sales engagement platform for enterprises using Salesforce. Built for the needs of relationship-based sellers, Groove increases rep productivity, drives Salesforce adoption, and provides revenue leaders with key insights to know what’s driving their business.

Hard to say. Chasing performance is an iffy strategy. I remember observing the top Morningstar rated funds of the year constantly under performing the subsequent year.

Hence, diversifying your exposure probably the best bet.
