I buy competitors to companies on my boycott list, so I'm actively opposing their growth.

That's not how the stock market works, dumbass. Unless they emit shares, they are not monetizing their stock price. You could say that managers get rewarded when the stock price is high, and that a high stock price is bad for that reason, but it has nothing to do with their 'growth'.

I also started opening small short positions against the likes of Citigroup, Victoria's Secret and the NYT. I closed one a few days ago for a decent profit against Victoria's Secret.

You got lucky.

But when you have power to actually stand up and do something, you're no longer just predicting, you're showing that you won't do anything to stop it because you don't actually care.

LOL, how is letting others profit from stocks "standing up" to anything"? It's just being retarded.
