Coming up a few bucks off multi-year lows doesn’t indicate winning for investors but volatility is good for traders I guess.

The article's cherry picked timeline is about as stupid as it gets.

My guess is that consideration never even occurred to OP.

Companies That Get ‘Woke’ Aren’t Going Broke — They’re More Profitable Than Ever.

... And the border is secure.

This is all political mumbo jumbo hoping to convince dummies like Mensa that Democrat policies are actually good for the country. The common citizen who is struggling to pay the rent and feed his children disagree with these morons.

How would eliminating corporate wokeness help those struggling to pay the rent and feed their children? I'm perfectly fine with eliminating DEI and fake corporate pandering on being "woke" (I think both are extremely harmful because they make certain corporations look like the "good guys" to liberals while ignoring everything else they are doing) but I'm just trying to understand how those would material improve financial conditions for the average person struggling to pay rent.

Where's the comparison to what the broader market did over those same date ranges?

Of course if you buy a stock at a very low price point and sell it at a slightly higher price point, you’ll make a little money. Hell, that’s just common sense. My grandfather, with zero education, had a friend who wanted him to invest in his company in 1978ish. So he bought $5000, a big portion of his savings, worth of stock at .06 or .07 cents a share. It was a pretty good move because it was Walmart.

The liberal guy making the point based his data on the same theory that screams “hey look gas prices are down to $2.89 a gallon!” Well, sure from an all time high, that looks good. They just fail to mention that the price was $2.12 in 2019.

Here's something to chew on: Why is it that those companies/organizations that push DEI and the bad white supremacist narrative are mostly all run by White People? If they feel so strongly about their convictions shouldn't they resign and install a minority to their positions?

Do you know why they don't? Because they're full of Schiff and couldn't care less about "the oppressed". "Pura voca" 'all talk' is what they are. This should be very obvious to the Liberal handkerchief wetters, "oh woe is me, we white people are so bad" but do nothing about it either.

I agree, DEI is just fake virtue signally to try to make companies appear to be the "good guys" to liberals and ignore every other action they are taking. Get rid of it, sounds wonderful to me.

b/c they've always controlled the majority of the wealth whilst we mined the last undeveloped land mass ... it's now become a battle of the law of diminishing ... it doesn't matter if one likes it or not....

the irony is the four horsemen and the US ever being part of 'that' equation ...

I'll go one further.. "Why do they push then when... white liberal women get in position of power?"

IN-Bev: White Female VP of whatever position she had...
Disney: White Female "producers' and VP's
Nike: White female VP and Chief HR Officer
Target: White Female VP and Chief HR officer (Melissa Kremer
Dick's: White female pres and Chief Executive Officer...

(and yes, i checked the board of directors for all 5 listed above.. i don't care about apple).
That's why... because they're marketing to what they think other White women want and to punish everyone they think wronged them as little girls... (to take one from Stink). Not to their customers as a whole...

And you cannot convince me otherwise.

When the proverbial crap hits the fan, those mentioned above will the be the first to go. At the end of the day, none of those corps will let DEI get in the way of making revenue.

Dumbest thread in a while. Really bad.

However anyone wants to spin it, Disney is in serious financial trouble on multiple fronts.

• Lawsuits they've filed
• Lawsuits filed against them
• Legal requirement to buy the rest of Hulu from Comcast/Universal
• Park attendance down
• Box Office down
• Activist investors seeking control of BOD to stop Disney's current woke direction and return to family-friendly and profitability
