Yes, I will take this into account, thank you. Either way, it doesn't seem to be about actually funding companies. Maybe stock trades can help influence companies to change strategies or leaders, but I don't see the point of doing it in a forum from which the companies will never see the investment. I don't think I understand the stock market as being anything more than a gambling game for people with a ton of money. Not sure what the IPOs of Facebook, Groupon, or Zynga did for anyone other than top execs who were already making a ton of cash per year, or the traders who bought and sold options.
