List of Ethical Investment Funds

It's Time To Die, Livehire (ASX:LVH)

Time To Die, Livehire (ASX:LVH)

Livehire (ASX:LVH) is a “talent management technology company” with a market capitalisation of $84 million at the current share price of $0.285. The company has around $35 million in cash which we believe should be returned to shareholders since we believe the business is destined to fail and the business itself is worth nothing, at best.

Pro Medicus (ASX:PME) FY 2019 Results Analysis: Record Profit Yet Again

Pro Medicus (ASX:PME) Posts Record Results In FY 2019

Yesterday radiology imaging company Pro Medicus (ASX:PME) reported revenue of $50.1 million for the full year, along with profit of $19.1 million, an increase of over 91% on last year. When I reported on the half year results, I noted that it would be hard for the company to grow half on half, since last half was such a strong half.
