The stock has been on the rise for most of the year. IMO, it’s because of their running shoes. They got a lot of publicity from their breaking two project in which they tried to set up conditions under which the fastest marathoner in the world, Eliud Kipchoge, could break the two hour marathon barrier. He just missed.

Since they clearly don't believe anyone but Blacks are qualified to be their spokespeople, it's only right that Black people and fake Black people (white liberals) should buy their products. I'm fine with Nike's stock staying high, as long as only the lowest trash in the country purchase (or steal) their shoes, apparel, and accessories.

What's interesting, is that Colin will likely earn more money off of his kneeling compared to him playing football.

Kind of like how Jordan made more money off of Nike than he ever did playing basketball.

Companies like Nike produce wealthy people.

With that in mind, the last Nike shoe I owned, I was about 17 years old.

Always preferred Adidas. I think most Nike apparel is hideously ugly.

I never liked their merchandise whatsoever. Too many solid black or solid white shirts with a small swoosh on it, as if that justifies an $89.99 pricetag (or more). I had one pair of Zoom Flight 98s and thought they were extremely cool for the time period. That's it.

Post by: Powerlift66 on September 24, 2018, 09:27:42 AM
The massive US population of white "anti-white, libby cucks" is huge, so thats who Nike is aiming at.
The ghetto people who deal drugs can also afford them, but the average ghetto folk cannot.

Just proves Nike is another Facebook, Twitter, GOOG, etc. (Libtard owned and supported).
Never really cared about any brand of shoe, I normally bought New Balance (local company, maintains USA manufacturing, and UK) while Nike is an oversea's sweatshop/child labor camp.
(Not that I really care about Asia stuff much) just always bought New Balance because of the warehouse / factory we went to as kids shopping for sneakers. (Still in existence today).

Nike - As of 2017, the Nike brand is valued at $29.6 billion.

New Balance - The company has made total profits of approximately $69 billion since 1992.

Plus NB were critical and called out anti-american muzzy retard "Bathhouse Barry", so another win in my book.

During 2016, New Balance opposed the Trans Pacific Partnership and condemned the Obama administration's support for it, arguing that it would hurt their domestic shoe manufacturing (while Nike, which does not manufacture in the US, supported the TPP).

Plus, just a better shoe overall (best arch support).

Yep, they are. White people never stick to any protest movement for long because they don't care enough to.

Look, nobody said Nike was going down in flames because they supported this ridiculous marketing campaign or the failed football player/pseudo populist half-breed they chose as the face of their new ads. The responses to his tweet of that motivational poster at the front of the thread were brutal; even liberals tore him a new one for his moral posturing and selling out for a quick buck.

But there's no doubt that the brand's prestige has taken a hit with at least a decent chunk of the U.S. population. Whether that translates into a drop in stock value or revenue can be doubted. But I know I'll never wear Nikes again.

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/colin-kaepernick-nike-6-billion-man/

Here's what I don't get about the stock market.  If their profit was $100 on average per pair of shoes they would have had to re-shoe 1/6th of the country to make $6b.  But none of the $6b came from selling shoes. Every traded company keeps pretending like they're in business to sell their product even tho they make like a thousand times more money selling stocks than selling their product.  No one ever points out how upside down this is.  The DJIA is a barometer of investor willingness to believe in the continuance of this fairy tale fantasy that everyone is playing along with.  It blows my mind that this system hasn't cracked in half and sunk to the bottom of the ocean by now.

It’s not about an Ameritrade account. Risk is massive when taking short positions. Much easier ways to make money


There is risk on either side of the market. Stocks tend to go down faster than they go up. So, you can make the case that there’s more risk on the long side.

Amazon is set to open down 10% today. Look at the chart and see how fast it went from 1600 to 2000 and then back down from 2000 and 1600.

Of course, the argument against short selling is that there is no limit to how much a stock and go up, but in the case of a huge mature company like Nike is it really going to double or triple in a short period of time?
