Fighting Falsehoods

Dear Fam,

As we approach the 4th anniversary of our company, the team at The Joyful Investors wants to express our deepest gratitude for your unwavering support and trust in our brand over the years.

Unfortunately, we need to address an important issue in this post today. Recently, disinformation about our brand has appeared through comments on InvestingNote, a social networking platform on the stock markets and also in a related YouTube video. This false information appears to have been disseminated by several troll accounts, and we have substantial circumstantial evidence linking them to a fellow industry ‘trainer’ as shared in this blog.

These accounts were created with the malicious intent to spread false statements about us. While some accounts and comments have been banned or deleted, others are still active.

We’ve been advised, with good intentions, to ignore these trolls. However, it’s difficult when their behavior seems intentional and verges on harassment, which will likely continue if we remain silent. After dedicating nearly four years to building something meaningful, it’s disheartening that our efforts are being undermined by these actions. Additionally, it’s important to clear the name of a fellow creator who was wrongly suspected of being involved, a misconception the perpetrator tried to exploit.

Despite these harmful remarks, our team at The Joyful Investors has decided to maintain the anonymity of the individual involved. We endeavor to treat everyone with dignity and respect, even in these challenging situations.

We believe it is essential for our community to be informed about this situation and the findings. While we will carefully avoid disclosing too many identifying details, we must share these findings transparently to uphold the credibility of our evidence and to clarify that these acts did not originate from the individual unjustly suspected by members of the InvestingNote community.

Additionally, some members of the investing community are already aware of the situation, as they were the ones who initially alerted us to these incidents. All screenshots taken are either available publicly or within the InvestingNote community, so nothing is confidential in the findings as well. It is what it is. There are also further conclusive behavioral evidence which we will not be disclosing here as it involves compromising the identity of the “trainer” even more clearly.

Today, we have chosen not to reveal the identity of the perpetrator to the public as an act of forgiveness. We choose to forgive, even if an apology is never forthcoming.

To the individual behind these actions, we recognize that everyone faces their own silent struggles sometimes. Despite the harm caused, we respond only to clear our name and the name/s of those wrongfully implicated. We hope that you will one day find the strength to overcome whatever challenges led you to this path.

We wish for you to find strength and joy—because, like everyone else, you deserve happiness. Shine bright. Be kind to yourself and everyone else.

And lastly, for those who wished to know how our REITs portfolio are doing, even before the rate cuts happen, you can simply refer to this post on InvestingNote.

Yours Sincerely,
The Joyful Investors Team
