      Shareholders are the worst, but I can’t blame individuals for buying shares (including myself) where it’s basically shooting yourself in the foot to not buy shares.

        So who do you mean by shareholders? The ETF that I buy so I don’t have to manually buy the whole market? A pension fund? Funds are the only other thing I can think of that I’d describe that way.

      Index and Mutual funds. Fidelity is largely free when it comes to investing in managed accounts. Vanguard if you’re fancy and can afford the fees.

      I get the stocks one totally, I try and boycott companies/countries/policies I don’t like by investing my money in certain ways, but stocks generally are necessary to stop you from losing money to inflation

        I go with an esg etf, that only uses companies with very high scores, and only from democratic countries (-> no usa)

        I feel like that is a good middle ground without spending too much time on this?
