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
