Michael Moore owns stock in HALIBURTON!?!?!

[#juan]

Now, as a simple member of the proletariat, without much disposble income, and being the owner of nada/nil/nothing when it comes to stocks (no, Juan, not even in Browning Arms Co.), I am a neophyte in the investment world. (No, I don't own RRSPs, nor do I have a pension fund)

However, I thought there were such things as options to buy stock that was politically correct.......you know, for the California-type loaded lefty class........the name of such options escapes me, but one would have thought that an insistent moralizer such as the large individual in question would avail himself of nicey, nicey money-makers, or instruct his broker to do so.

Or is he simply greedy?

People don't ask for "nicey, nicey" investments. They ask for the best return on their capital, which is what any reasonable investor would do. I know you hate Moore but I'm sure he didn't pick Haliburton. He would have left that choice up to the people he pays to handle his money.

gentlemen

please

The records in question show the foundation sold those Halliburton stocks over two years BEFORE the war in Iraq even started. Aestheticism is one thing. Prognostication is something else entirely (and if that's what he's being accused of failing to listen to sooner just thank your lucky star he uses his powers for good instead of evil).

Good for him. I hope he bought when I did at $5.

He should sell it now. Its going down. Maybe even short it.

 

[BitWhys]

Too late for that. The foundation made a whopping $377 on 50 shares back in May of 2000.

did it split?

 

[Toro]

I believe so.

Moore's an irritating little man. (I mean little in more than just the physical sense, too)

ida know, I remember seeing the episode of TV nation when I was young when he bought himself a holiday for like $100 of cheap tacky crap to give to congressmen and senators. I couldn't believe how easily swayed those turds were at that age.

Bowling for Colombine when he's running around opening doors. That cracked me up. Anybody with half a brain would know it had precious little to do with gun control.

He's such a little **** disturber. He must bust a gut at all the crap people bother slinging about him.
