+Mr Rentier is one of those rather workaday individuals that are peppered around the world wide web. They have unshakeable opinions on everything. Mr Rentier has launched knowledgeable micro-disquisitions over the years on all manner of topics: baseball, rocketry, the pros and cons of palm oil, protocols for royal funerals, epidemiology, land-based military strategy on the Russian steppe, the relationship between monetary policy and inflation, and Kanye West, but one of the most common has been investment strategy.
-Dame Marjorie Wrigley, K.C. for the appellant <br>
+Mr Rentier’s investment tips have no more real-world qualification than do his views on the constitutionality of ''Rowe vs. Wade'' — he is neither lawyer not financial adviser — but he has periodically issued forth salvoes on stocks, bonds and commodities all the same.
-{{jerrold}}, for the respondent <br>
+His tweetstorm — I am told these are nowadays called “threads”— of October 17th is a case in point. Mr Rentier issued his “Seven Rules for sound investment🧵👇”
+As it happens, Mr Rentier’s advice was fairly sound. We had expert evidence to that effect.
