1. So if I'm already boycotting companies related to the Koch brothers
|
and I also boycott Kimberly-Clark, then what am I supposed to do for toilet paper?
I also have dealt extensively with the Social Security Administration in Bryan within the past year since my foot was amputated and I anticipate having to conduct additional business with them to maximize my disability check. I don't think that they issue any stock though so you won't have to liquidate your holdings there. Since both Southwest Airlines and American Airlines are on the list I guess that means that I won't be flying anywhere, especially from DFW airport. It seems like you might want to keep them in your portfolio if they haven't recovered to the pre-pandemic stock price since the travel industry will eventually recover at some point. I also have dealt with Baylor Scott & White and UT Southwestern Medical Center in the past. I certainly wouldn't pass up either of them if I had a medical emergency. They are both non-profits anyway so they probably aren't in your portfolio. I don't see much point in either boycotting or divesting in any company beyond the satisfaction that it might "feel good" briefly time. While we are frustrated by the events of today, making major financial decisions probably isn't a good idea when the emotions are at a zenith. |
