Do you really own Apple shares though?
No different than Gold. They are both morally indefensible, unethical investments. People die making or mining them, and you and Walrus profit at their expense. Carry on
I don't know, I see nothing wrong with investing. I'm not Warren Buffet, just a guy trying to make a limited amount of capital grow. I do think Apple does some bs in China and they can certainly afford not to do it. I think most Americans who have ira, 401k and other investment vehicles are in Apple and probably don't even know it. I don't know if you have an invested pension fund in your neck of the woods beanz, I'm jealous if you are able to be secure enough in your future where you don't have to invest. I just want to try to avoid working until I'm 87 if possible. Who knows, the market could tank tomorrow and it would all be for naught. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
