"We are absolutely appalled at this behavior!" [Buys more stock in Tesla] "I mean really, this has gone too far!" [Collects dividends] "He needs to resign, this is disgusting!" [Watches stock price climb] "this antisemitism must stop or else!" [Buys more stock]
In the interest of pedantry; TSLA doesn’t declare dividends.
If I, an absolutely moral and ethical person, don't buy Tesla stock and gain profits from its climbing, somebody less moral and ethical will.
I mean that's how public stocks work, yeah?
But you buying and holding also contributes to the price going up. Just as you refusing to buy or selling your shares contributes to prices going down. This is how Elon has manipulated markets for quite a while.
Bruh. What internet lefties have right is that we don't have an impact in capitalism. Get yo wins.
GME would like a word
Guns or GMEs. Get your gold my man.
You mean those who denounce capitalism aren't actively fueling the fire? Imagine that.
They are, but they think they're fighting it.
We gonna ignore definitional disputes.
I think what you meant is,
If I buy Tesla stock, then I have a small voice in how the company is run, and I can push it towards a more progressive and altruistic vision.
