@Punches Well, he'll have to outcompete Bezos and Musk.

He's just the rogue version of Data from Star Trek lol - "Meta Data" 🤔

@Elessar Meta as in greek. Meaning in concept.

Metatags in html are concepts as well.

@DeWayfarer Yeah, I know, as indeed in "metadata" which are quite profitable for them. I was just joking on the chosen term.

@TurtlePink I personally avoid any super large site any more. To me Google is pure evil!

@SisterChaos that can be said of google as well. Possibly even more so.

@Punches no. Actually depends on what kind of stocks. And that is exactly how Google cheated their own stock holders.

You see they outted many stock holders have in case of any kind of bankruptcy is in "prefered stocks.

Yet the way google is structured there can never be any prefered stocks.

Prefered stocks get what is left before bankruptcy can be declared.

@DeWayfarer So then with Preferred stocks, one cannot lose or is at least unlikely?

If that is the case, why would people buy stock in a company where the stock is risky?

Also, I know little to nothing about all this really, not even trying to pretend to know, just had random thoughts.

@Punches prefered stocks are not worth as much. And only make sence when you are certain a company is going to go under. Another benefit is they get dividends.

Yet common stocks do not get dividends yet often do good when the company is doing good.

Often investors buy both common stocks as well as prefered stocks just to hedge their bets.
