This Needs To Stop…
It saddens me to make this post. And what’s worse is I’m going against the other founders say because the fear of harassment and continued Mod abuse has gotten to such an unreasonable amount, that the very notion of making a post is just not an option…
This post, as you may have guessed, is about DRS…
I want to make one thing clear. YOU ARE ALLOWED TO TALK ABOUT DRS.
What you AREN’T allowed to do is give financial advice, SPAM THE SUB, derail peoples comments and posts just to shout “DRS YOUR SHIT!” Or harass people who simply do not wish to DRS their shares.
THAT DOES NOT MAKE OUR SUB ANTI DRS…
That makes our sub DIVERSE, as we ALWAYS HAVE BEEN… INDIVIDUAL investors, from DIFFERENT wakes of life, in DIFFEERENT cultures and societies, with DIFFERENT backgrounds and DIFFERENT skills and knowledge about the market. AND THERE’S NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT.
We don’t care how you invest your money, we don’t care about your holdings, we don’t care about which brokerage or transfer agent you choose, and we DO NOT CARE about you talking about it (as long.… ALL we care about is financial freedom, whether or not you’re following sub rules, and whether or not you’re respecting the balance of other people and other content.
Many of you argue that DRS is not ”Investment advice.” And with that CAREFUL wording. You’re right… But INVESTMENT advice, and FINANCIAL advice are two completely different things. Telling people what to vote during a shareholders meeting, is INVESTMENT advice. It has the potential to affect a persons INVESTMENTS by effecting the stock itself. FINANCIAL advice is when you tell someone how to handle their investments FUNDS or RISK MITIGATE them. And THAT is what this divisive argument is. To tell someone TO or NOT TO direct register their shares IS financial advice.
And it DOES go both ways. But the push is from one side and one side only… Ask yourself why… And then remind yourself where the real battle is. The Hedge Funds. The corrupt market. The one percenters. And everyone else who believes we’re a meme stock and dumb money.
If that isn’t your goal, then you aren’t the people we want to replace the top one percenters with. As I say in every live talk, post, removal reason, etc… People have different opinions, but the best way to fight this is by returning to our roots. Ape no fight Ape. Brother and sister. Community and Ape love…
If that isn’t what we cherish….. I’ll still hold…. But not here, in this communit, behind the strength of 500k+ people… And that’s not a good concept to push as a community… It’s strength in arms… not pester till you quit and lone wolf it…
Enough is enough.
