I sold all my German stocks.
BMW. Mercedes. Volkswagen. Sixt. BASF. Bayer.
Gone. For good.
Why?
Because I’ve lost trust –
not in people, but in leadership,
and in corporations who trade integrity for ideology.
⸻
Corporations Don’t Have a Spine Anymore
They don’t stand for values – they just follow trends.
Look at their German websites: rainbow flags everywhere.
Now check the same site in Dubai: nothing.
What does that tell you?
It’s not conviction. It’s cowardice.
⸻
Business ≠Activism
I don’t care if it’s LGBTQ, climate, migration, or gender.
If a corporation takes a political stance,
it alienates half the market.
Left, right – doesn’t matter.
Politics divides.
Business should unite.

If Sales Collapse After Your Woke Campaign – It’s Not a Mystery
It’s cause and effect.
If you used to post positive numbers
and suddenly your revenue drops
after your CEO proudly waves the flag of the month –
maybe the problem is… the flag.
And if leadership can’t see that,
they shouldn’t be in charge.
Simple as that.
⸻
Let’s Be Honest: Investors Should Sue These Companies
Why?
Because a corporation has a fiduciary duty
to act in the best interest of its shareholders.
That means: profit, growth, sustainability.
If a company goes political,
panders to ideological trends,
and by doing so causes its own stock to decline,
then it has breached that duty.
And that’s not just poor leadership.
That’s financial damage – and grounds for legal action.
Mercedes. Volkswagen. BASF.
They didn’t fall because of competition.
They fell because they chose politics over performance.
And when the company bleeds,
so do the shareholders.
And when shareholders bleed,
they’re entitled to fight back.
⸻
Final Thought:
I don’t invest in Germany anymore –
not because I dislike the country,
but because I refuse to fund political theatre.
These companies are no longer driven by economics.
They’re driven by appeasement.
By fear.
By ideology.
They wonder why stock prices and trust are collapsing.
I don’t. I’m out.
