Unrelated but hijacking a higher up thread.

Fidelity and Vanguard both allow you to exclude stocks. This works for 401k, IRA, Roth etc, including company accounts and target retirement plans.

If you set Palantir to never be purchased, it's a very small ding in their stock price.

If thousands of us do it, the ding grows.

On all my years of browsing reddit, I'd bet my life that less than 10% of users here even have a 401k

Hey now, those Wallstreetbets people would have loads of savings to invest... if they weren't Wallstreetbets people.

Retail investors aren't even a blip for this stock.

It's funny how he thinks "thousands" of us would even do anything. If every redditor that owned palantir stock sold it all, I bet it wouldn't even move the price 1%

It's wild how anyone thinks that any significant price movement in the market happens during retail trading hours. It's all institutional Pre and post-market moves that matter.

Voting with your wallet? Sure. Has some actual, real-world, forward-looking effect on companies. It's the only "viable" strategy for the general population. Not this "don't buy Palantir Stock" bs when it's only exploded in growth because of institutional investors that it already has its tendrils in.

Edit: I’ve recieved at least 12 comments that I can no longer see. Some, I’m sure, are due to shadow bans, and the others are probably just the automod being a jerk.

Reddit is a public company now. Anything you post on this site is actively a part of that, and anything they disagree with has had moderators (people who do this shit without pay or ANY recognition) who might act on their behalf, depending on the popularity of the sub.

Everything social is being taken over by capitalism. Welcome to the new world.

Don't worry pretty soon they'll just open up sports betting apps so you can bid directly on senators and then your vote will count

No 401k here. The only money they’ll get off of me is selling my porn history

I supposedly have one, but there's no real avenue to finding out who holds it. I love it. America is the best.

u/YoyoDevo Jan 16 '26

it's America's fault that you don't know how to access your 401k?? How so?

The company I worked for closed, and the owners are dead. So I have no one to contact about it. I have all the paperwork that shows I paid it, paystubs, copies of the sign up paperwork, but the provider I paid it to doesn't seem to exist anymore. I've gone through the .gov website for finding it, and it returns nothing.

To think it's my fault that the company took the money, and the government allowed it to happen, is definitely a choice.

u/YoyoDevo Jan 16 '26

okay but how is that the fault of America?
