One of Parkland, Fla.'s most prominent student activists on stopping gun violence has called for a boycott of Vanguard and BlackRock, two of the world's biggest investors in gunmakers.

In a post on Twitter on Tuesday, David Hogg remarked on the firms' ownership of gun maker stocks, adding "if you use them, feel free to let them know." Then he added two tags: BoycottVanguard BoycottBlackrock.

Well maybe these two investment companies will cringe with fear of the Hogg’s investment recommendations (not a licensed financial advisor), sell all their gun investments out cheap (investors taking it in the shorts) and allow some sly cunning predator inventor to buy up those stocks cheap.

Can we start an organization called SHU!? Tax deductible and all that. Raise lots of money and pay lots of big salaries for SHU! staff.

By the way, SHU stands for Shut the Hogg Up!

I’m invested heavily in Vanguard. My grandkids’ 529 Plan is also invested in em.
Since I invest specifically into their oil/gas index fund (VGENX), I’m also “investing” in glo-bull warming.....LMAO!!....I get a twofer!!!!
As as side note to the lil hogster and his handlers: I plan on investing a whole lot more into em too. BTW, lil hogster has a good, old-fashion azz-whipping coming his way....just a matter of time. I hope it’s someone even younger than him that does it and it’s video recorded when it happens for all the world to see. Oh wait, he probably now has a “security detail” guarding him....with guns. Whadda azzhole.

Finally, something someone wants me to boycott that I actually do business with.

I thought the Hogg’s fifteen minutes of fame had run out.
