Investing and not investing in the company mean exactly the same thing. Unless FB issues more shares you aren't buying shares from the company. You're buying from someone else.
- rglullis 3y ago> You're buying from someone else. Everyone buying shares do it for one of the following reasons: - They expect to receive a dividend - They expect to sell it at a higher price later to "someone else". In the first case, if you believe that the company is unethical, it's immoral to buy a share because you'd be profiting from their wrongdoings. By doing so, you are an accomplice. In the second, by buying the share you are not signaling you condone the company's actions, but you also have an incentive to get other people in the system.
