Many large Mutual Funds need to be broken up into much smaller Funds. The ability to control the market is too irresistible for too many corrupt Boards of Directors.

Among the latter, under pretence of governing they have divided their nations into two classes, wolves and sheep.”

I stated why he said those things - he is a total dork trying to keep a chick interested - one that keeps coming back to tell him how powerful and amazing he is. So he keeps the convo she is interested in going. Is a very good and well known strategy on her part, she just didnt pick the right fish.

Your comment on me being "in the know" actually implicates yourself as well. But I never claimed to be "in the know". What i said is "this guy doesn't know."

I will go further and say most of you all do not appear to understand how an asset mgmt/investment mgmt firm operates.

AS I SAID - I am sure BR is corrupt, I know some of the ways that they can manipulate things (have stated two of them that dont require payments but are just as manipulative - but there are others). I also know there are several ways to just plain be corrupt. And my guess is they are - but out of 20,000 employees Sergei is not one in the know of what and how they are corrupt.

Y'all can believe this is a gotcha on BR if you want. I hate corruption. But I want us to use discernment when we hear a story.

You think it is true, i do not believe this particular story is. Its why we debate.

You keep dismissing the story simply because you think the guy is trying to impress a chick yet you fail to realize said guy wears a ring on his pointer finger and as another poster pointed out was drinking a screw cap wine bottle.

If anything, I'd venture to say he's quite gay.

And then Trump comes along and says he can end the war in Ukraine. He makes some very powerful enemies, but somebody has to fight them.
No one, to my knowledge, has been actually fighting Blackrock head on with zero f***s to give, like Desantis.

Florida, DeSantis yank billions in investments from 'woke' BlackRock over ESG investing

Florida is yanking $2 billion worth of state assets managed by BlackRock, escalating the GOP standoff with the world's largest money manager over its ESG investment policies.

The state treasury will freeze about $1.43 billion worth of long-term securities and remove BlackRock as the manager of about $600 million worth of short-term overnight investments with the goal of giving that business to other money managers by the beginning of 2023, Florida Chief Financial Officer Jimmy Patronis said in a statement Thursday.

Yes. Excellent post.

I like O'Keefe's stuff, but a recruiter that's only been at blackrock for one year isn't the person I'd expect to have deep and accurate insights about the company.

Yeah. O'Keefe too often finds absolute nobodies in massive organizations and then tries to embellish their importance when they finally catch them saying stupid *****

It weakens his other videos that are actually substantive and matter.
