1. that is why even if I could afford investing I would never buy stocks.
The nature of Capitalism is the theft of wealth created by the workers, and thus any income one gets from stocks is dirty.

2. That applies to all of them.
A corporation has no soul.

4. It fuels greed, profit at any cost, short term gains, nothing to do with
the best, the brightest and what's best for the country and humanity, and feeds wall street which is more crooked than a crooked casino. Highly rewards sociopathic like behavior and fosters the attitude of fuck you, I've got mine. Hence, that means, entire portfolios should be sold as most corporations fall into that category.

5. That is how many felt regarding apartheid in South Africa and the
sell off helped Mandela to win. Not a bad idea. Do enough ordinary people still own enough stocks to make a difference?
