“Once again, I don’t do public trading....”

You don’t have to. Your insurance company usees the funds to do so and increase their revenues. Your savings are used the same way, Banks don’t sit on money it is re-invested to make more capital gains for the shareholders.

Unless you are stuffing your mattress with paper money and your gold bullion is under the floorboards in your back bedroom...

Any money you put in any institution is used and invested because those institutions have stockholders and stakeholders that depend on that institution to succeed in the markets. Or they invest somewhere else.

Like it or not, the name is Capitalism.

You’re the one who asked or commented about public trading.

Lemme put it this way, I don’t do stocks IRA’s, precious metals et al. But I do have a checking account. Get real.

If I’m not mistaken, Congress is exempt from the COVID mandates. Do ya think it’s a bit suspect they’re invested and possibly taking bribes to further the production/manufacturing and mandates of these questionable so called vaccinations, yet they themselves are exempt from the mandates?

Btw, I try everything humanly possible not to invest, or purchase products from these big corporations who promote Communism, China, Socialism, Marxism et al.

How about you? Or do you consider all of this is just the price of Capitalism?
