As Trump Bashes Amazon, the Government Relies on It. Regardless of the take over of the government and people. Financially speaking as of now doesn't Amazon make a great investment in stocks ? I would love to hear all perspectives. Maybe it's better to boycott.

As Trump Bashes Amazon, the Government Relies on It. Regardless of the take over of the government and people. Financially speaking as of now doesn't Amazon make a great investment in stocks ? I would love to hear all perspectives. Maybe it's better to boycott. But then what about target date funds in 401ks that Indirectly funds into Amazon for our retirement.

Ah the moral quandry of investing in the Military Industrial Complex. I think it could be justified if you use those profits against them, but you'd have to be strong to not go buy a cheeseburger with the profits too. With that being said following their moves is probably a great investment/trading strategy.

I think that activist / socially responsible investing is a powerful tool and we're just seeing that gain some steam. Imo there's tons of potential there.
