Not sure what you're trying to say with this pic? The State of Wisconsin Investment Board runs the various pensions for state workers in Wisconsin. Most of their assets are indexed, and they run the index funds in house. The largest owners of most companies are index funds, so they're bought and sold as their weights in the underlying indexes changes. It's not a discretionary decision on the part of the asset manager reflecting some opinion on the merits of the company, they're just replicating a passive index.

Yeah that would explain the purge.
Social governance is now squarely located in the boardroom and HR offices.
No company should be powerful enough to have this much control. We have anti trust laws, we don't use them.
Mega corporations are bad for the consumer, bad for the worker, and only benefit the government and company.

scum of the earth. people like this want to take away the American dream. millennials will be the last generation to "own homes" the few millennials who get to. everyone else will be perpetual renters for life where 40%+ of their paycheck goes to rent.
So you don’t like capitalism?

One thing that I think needs clarifying: BLK doesn't actually own stakes in any of these companies. BLK is relatively unique among asset managers in that they do not have a proprietary trading business, i.e. they do not trade for their own accounts. The ownership stakes with which they are associated represent the ownership of funds, mostly index funds, that BLK manages on behalf of their clients. The clients are the beneficial owners of the shares of these companies, not BlackRock. If the ownership stake changes, it's typically because the weight of these companies in whatever indexes they're in, e.g. S&P 500, Russell 1000, etc, has changed.
Nawww this is Blackrock

Someone I’ve never heard of on Twitter says “could they (blackrock) have pushed Tucker out?”. OP says blackrock is likely responsible for shakeup.
If we’re going to yell about fake news coming from the dnc and their propaganda arm (the mainstream media), let’s not do the same.
The main shareholders of every major corporation will be fund managers, there isn’t some sinister plot here.

Not just American houses. They're doing the same thing in France.

Why so much hate for Libertarians? What did they do to you?
I promise that they are all over twitter and don't give a shite about FoxNews, ESPN's, or CNN's firings right about now.

At some point, at least the stated points of the argument should be accepted as existing in-fact.

Blackrock doesn't buy houses.
Other institutions do, but not blackrock. Blackrock is just a meme at this point.

Tucker put a bunch of stuff in writing, including criticisms of his bosses that those bosses got to read. The other stuff he wrote was used as evidence in a lawsuit Fox settled for 3/4 of a billion dollars. But yeah, must have been Blackrock and proxy voting power.
Maybe so.
Or maybe it was a Sue and Settle screw job and Tucker was just collateral damage or lagniappe.
Sue and settle is when two colluding parties predetermine litigation and ultimate resolution via settlement for some larger purpose. I don’t know if it was invented by Obama’s regime but they certainly perfected it with many EPA and enviro-related lawsuits.

You know nothing about anything else, Gomer.
Blackrock became a partner with the Fed in bailing out firms in the financial crisis and current consulting, based on non competition.. Their current investment practices are non competitive because they have fed backing.
Both of those things are antithical to "liberty."
