Vaccinated stay contagious longer than Unvaccinated

Cigna....

United Health Care....

These 2 top shareholders own everything you have from your fork to your computer, clothes, food, energy, healthcare, medication, furniture, food chains (even competing ones) they own the majority share of both coke and pepsi, pizza hut and dominoes... and everything in-between.

.... and if you think im blowing smoke up your ass, just google any company via Google, or Yahoo Finance and look up the Top ShareHolders. And if anyone can find a Company the is not held by BR/VG in the top 3... i'd like to see it.

I appreciate the insight, wasn't what I thought you were trying to say. Being they all appear to be investment managers, it's not really only two shareholders as it's other peoples money.

Ok... You are a "shareholder" because you have invested in that Company. Who cares where the money came from.

“BlackRock itself is not a shareholder,” a company spokesperson told Reuters, adding that money being managed or invested “belongs to our clients”.
“The owners of these securities are our clients, through their investments made on their behalf via the funds managed by Blackrock”.

A Vanguard spokesperson told Reuters that its firm was “mutually owned”, meaning the “firm is owned by its funds, which, in turn, are owned by its investors.

That was your entire point, wasn't it? It's all about the money?

Big pharma was just cashing in on the vaccines?

Now do Twitter.....

But to your point.... it is funded by fees. They still own the shares.

Yet insurance companies are encouraging clients to get vaccinated, in fact they are spending a lot of money to get more people vaccinated. Well if they are all "owned" by the same two shareholders, something doesn't add up

I mean... If I'd have known that this shit was gonna last 3 years, I would have loved to have bought in on MNRA back in 2019.

I never said it did.... I just thought it was odd.

So here is what AHIP stated to Health Subcommittee, keeping in mind they have nothing but financial gain to paying less for health care related costs:

It's actually pretty brilliant. Take peoples money and invest it... charge fees, and create an account to invest the fees as your firm into everything you can. Who cares about your investors, other than they are funding your investments via fees and service charges.
I read that article.. and I don't know what to make of it. Seems like this whole world of wealth is a game of smoke and mirrors.

.. and Im guessing that through "securities lending" is where they are gaining ground. SL are often short sells, which come with a hefty fee if held less than a year, and they pass that along to the security investor, and re-invest those fees to hold shares, real shares into Companies, hence becoming true shareholders. Do that for more than 3 decades, and you have a lot of control.

UnitedHealth Group share holder equity for the quarter ending September 30, 2022 was $78.064B

BlackRock Shareholders Equity (Quarterly): 37.16B for Sept. 30, 2022

Lots of money, but not the trillions of other peoples money as described. Context matters.
