I have trouble with this concept too. Had a meeting the other day with my banker, and he spent about 10 minutes complaining about comcast (their poor service) and then smiled and said "well at least the stock's doing well..." and I could only think of the Ouroboros. I questioned him about it - "why would you invest in a company you hate?" and he didn't have a good answer and agreed it was funny how things worked out. "On one hand I hate that their customer service is overseas, on the other, I'm glad their stock price is going up." It's cannibalism.

If we all participated in society this way (only invested in things we vetted completely and companies that were upstanding) would it not have an impact? I think this is inline with the idea that we need to take full responsibility for everything while we're here.

It's similar in nature to purchasing product is it not? The big difference being that the purchase directly supports operations, while the vast majority of equities are now merely bets on the future market value/future sums someone is willing to pay for those shares (so not as directly responsible for the operations of the underlying company). Even IPOs are simply reselling of major institutional money - so you're primarily supporting the banks putting together the IPO and not the companies themselves (as their shares have already been purchased). 

Also I know you're vehemently opposed to crypto, but this argument applies to that as well - meaning it does have it's limitations when it comes to where you place your money.

I've slowly started to come to the side of the "better in my pocket" than theirs - as I've learned there is a lot more you can do with money than just "buy stuff."

Only if you're deluded enough to believe the market functions on merit. It's been run by an autonomic feedback program for 12 years or so. What's worse they cant pull the plug or it all goes boom

Quite literally. RenTech for example pretty much control it with a computer.

The Medallion fund is considered to be one of the most successful hedge funds ever. It has averaged a 71.8% annual return, before fees, from 1994 through mid-2014.[34] The fund has been closed to outside investors since 1993[35] and is available only to current and past employees and their families. The firm bought out the last investor in the Medallion fund in 2005 and the investor community has not seen its returns since then.[

Robert Mercer sold his famous yacht, (and get it's name...) SeaOWL this year which raised quite a few eyebrows.

Call me stupid, but i dont jive with indirectly funding and supporting companies that profit off of products/services that are not beneficial to us (we the people) which is why i dont invest in stocks.
Yes the argument exists that its gonna happen anyways but im stubbornly refusing (perhaps to my own detriment).

Starving the parasite, perhaps.

Maybe the benefits are not measured fiscally but somewhere not so obvious.

Reminds me of the line in the movie; Wargames.

“The only winning move is to not play. How about a nice game of chess?”.

They have pissed off the big boys. The SEC will likely make option trading illegal or problematic for retail "investors" now. Like in Germany.

Part of me wonders if the big boys manipulated them into doing this though. Pretend to be short whilst actually being long. Force it to dip soon to wipe out all the WSB gang then sell when it spikes afterwards?

I'm thinking of buying a penny stock that is soon going on NASDAQ. It's risen from $1 to $4 in a week and TESLA and others need their product to function.

What puts me off ENZC is it seems to be one of (((they)))'s companies. We could be funding the entire concept of what we discuss and loathe here.

When I read

"Enzolytics, Inc. (OTC PINK:ENZC)(the "Company") today, announced it has received the official filing receipt from the U.S. Patent Office confirming the filing of its patent application for "Nuclear Proteins Isolated from Mammalian Spinal Cord Immune Factor - Pharmaceutical Composition for Treatment" and has received the third tranche of the $1.2 million dollar financing."

The first thought that came to my head was "adrenochrome harvesting centers".

And the company is supposedly a speaker at DaVoS. Which is where (((they))) meet up isn't it? The WEF.



There's a big difference between profiting off already operating companies via stock, and directly funding their early research via stock. Imo, anyway.

The two I am looking into are OZSC and ABML.

They're all "they" and NO fortune is made honestly  you missed at 1900 percent gain because your essentially ranking evil companies and investing in what you consider to be the least evil. And of course evil is a binary and you know what we say about those..
