Interesting that you think that things that aren't in the company's interests increase the share value.  That would seem to be counterintuitive to most investors.

It's true though. At the end of the day share values reflect the short term success of the company significantly more than they do the long term. It's definitely not uncommon for people to put off or avoid things that would benefit them in the long term if they'd negatively impact the short term. It's not just companies either, governments are incredibly prone to that too.

You know where robinhood.com is then.  Plenty of investors make money by investing for long term trends.

Every day the share price is exactly where there is a balance of people buying and selling.  If you are smarter, don't argue with me here.  Go forth and make money.
