The money you spend to buy a stock does not go to the company issuing it (with exception of the IPO), so you're not really helping them in any way.

- mo_42 4y agoI think you are. If you buy a stock, you support the value of the company on the stock market. This, in turn, increases the likelihood of the company to raise more money. (Same as if you’re against killing animals and buy used leather. You support people who want to sell used stuff and, thus, indirectly producers of leather.)
