Publicly-traded Private Prisons - NYSE: GEO and CXW. How can this be leveraged?
(Gotta love the happy corporate logos for companies that are making billions based on human body counts. Dig CoreCivic’s container box emblem.)
I have very limited experience or knowledge about economics or the stock market, but the fact that these two companies are publicly traded makes me wonder what leverage we have.
For starters, we can make sure that our employee retirement programs and portfolios don’t invest in these stocks or mutual funds that do.
Both these stocks are selling around $32. Sadly, these stocks will likely be money makers.
Brainstorm with me. Can we use the fact that these are publicly-traded companies to boycott or take other actions in a legal and peaceful way?
In a culture built on greed, money may be the best and last voice and vote we have.
