Help me put together a Based portfolio...public companies that are not woke

Not woke: Red Bull

This should be moved to the poli-board. My advice would be to go to the poli-board to get your list of non-woke companies and then come back for financial discussions on that list of companies.

Just my $0.02 but none of my accounts have a breakdwon of dollars gained from woke vs. non-woke companies.

Define "woke."
Aren't all these tech companies driving the market "woke"?

This test is simple: do woke companies really go broke or nah, and conversely, do companies not woke quietly go up?

Who in the hell put that in your head?

Red Bull has fired two top executives in the US who had lobbied for more diversity in the company and were blamed for the leak of a letter that criticized its 'public silence' on Black Lives Matter.

---

While Red Bull employees in the US have been pressing for the company to be more vocal about racism, Red Bull's billionaire CEO Dietrich Mateschitz is a Donald Trump admirer who has spoken out against 'political correctness'.

---

I’d think anyone who is a Trump supporter and against political correctness is under the not woke category

Woke: Apple

Go right ahead and short that one

I don't care about financials and breakdowns. This test is simple: do woke companies really go broke or nah, and conversely, do companies not woke quietly go up?

The answer: Absolutely not.

One of the biggest myths that is spread on this board, and throughout the conservative south is, "get woke, go broke."

These companies are run by extraordinarily smart and talented people who are, for the most part, very analytically driven. Companies, especially public companies, have a fiduciary duty to generate high earnings to continue to drive dividends/shareholder value at a very specific rate of growth. They only do things with this in mind - this I promise you.

I generally laugh when people perpetuate this idea. If every person in Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana, formed their own state - they'd have ~12.5 million people combined. If you combined Houston & San Antonio, Los Angeles & Sacramento, Atlanta & Charlotte, or any mix of a T-10 market with a mid-sized city, you'd have a population mix bigger than all 3 states combined. What you hear is what has been self-selected by the region for which is surrounded.

Equity research reports written by analysts at Credit Suisse who cover the company like Dennis Rodman in a game 7 have detailed explicitly the uptick in business and company profile since their partnership with Kaepernick and BLM.

In the short-term, you often see small ratings dips in sports. But at the end of the day, virtually any company that has openly "gone woke," invested in diversity, etc... has generally done well.

Don't let emotions and personal feelings get in the way of you making money. The alpha on your proposed portfolio is gonna be dogshit.

Whether it’s politically based or some other factor, when your investing becomes emotion based, it’s just a matter of time before you fail at investing. It’s the very definition of money in a weak hand.

There are a lot of pension funds that black list stock purchases from companies that don’t support the Paris Climate Treaty, climate change legislation, include LBGT friendly language in corporate work place discrimination rules, openly push for affirmative action promotion practices etc.

Not picking sides, but “Emotion” based investing decisions is probably more of an issue with those that describe themselves as “left / liberal” leaning. Radical left extremist are much more effective at boycotts. I mean Chick-fil-A only managed to keep a restaurant open like a week in London.

It’s funny, was looking on Nike golf apparel site today, crazy how things can change from somewhat normal way to the extreme other.
