That's the strangest part of the whole Bud thing and why they fired people over it. Every gay bar, queer event that I've been to has Bud Light everything. They've been sponsoring us for decades and every thinks this is something new or somehow over the line. They do the same with cishet places as well. Just ridiculous over it.
Why do they call it "Bud light" anyway, does it have reduced alcohol or something? Is there a "Bud strong" advertized to like, the Army reserve? Please explain these Americana details to me fellow light-bear
Pose as a conservative influencer, short a stock, expose them for being woke, profit. Buy the dip, wait for the controversy to blow over, profit twice.
I tried explaining this to a conservative and they looked at me like I was crazy. People are so invested in this fake moral outrage that they can't see it for what it is.
Because if you're not with them, you're against them! And trying to explain that they're being duped into getting angry about stupid nonsense means you're one of those woke sjw cuck soyboys who are trying to destroy freeze peach!
I did it with Disney a bit. Bought some shares at ~$78 when the was at it's peak [redacted] and sold for $95 when Kang the Domestic Abuser got shitcanned. Didn't get rich, but a half priced Steam Deck OLED is nice.
Shockingly no, insider trading applies to "material, nonpublic information" about the company and its economic actions. If you're trading based on advance knowledge of a subscription price hike or a change in recipe, that's insider trading. If you're trading based on people getting mad for literally no reason or a company's continued compliance with a law or social norm, that's not insider trading.
No, shorting a stock, yelling "hey everyone, you should all boycott this company because of vibes," and then profiting when people inexplicably listen to you is legal.
Nah it even theoretically benefits the market's information/price discovery in capitalist theory. "Activist short sellers" stand to make a lot of money by exposing unknown true negative information about a company. Straight-up lying is prohibited as securities fraud, and ultimately if you publicize something untrue or unimportant ("woke" accusations) the price will return to normal as the market recognizes the information was BS. So there's a bunch of firms that essentially exist to scrutinize the finances and activities of other companies, and if their "audit" finds a problem they get paid and offender gets punished.
(The line between straight-up fraud and overenthusiastic PR for fluff is not clear.)
Let the record show I had this idea May 31st and then didn't do anything about it. Price is up 18% since then, but most of that started in November so I would have lost money on short-term calls anyway.
conservatives are gonna forget about them in a year, tops
6 months isn't bad. I think the play is LEAPs or literally buying stock on margin, plus whatever short you can cobble together for the rest of the industry.
I actually got in the top 10 of the stock market game in middle school by spending all my money on AB stock when they got bought out by inbev in 07-08. I just wanted to spend all my money so I could play Marble Blast for a semester and ended up meeting the governor at some dinner for all the top placers.
