Which Multinational Corporation Would You Accept as Your Overlord?

[Brigandier]

Definitely Google for me.

 

[edro]

Apple
They know what's best for me.

 

[TastesLikeChicken]

Playboy

 

[ImpulsE69]

Hostess...oh wait...

 

[Jeff7]

Don't know. Maybe something out of Germany.

Pepperl+Fuchs, perhaps?


*shrug*

None really come to mind as an entity I'd really trust.

Vanguard?

 

[Printer Bandit]

The Corporation of the United States of America

 

[Kaido]

Jello.

 

[theevilsharpie]

Definitely Google for me.

This. If Google cancelled my account, they'd essentially be disappearing me.

 

[JulesMaximus]

The Corporation of the United States of America

So, Monsanto then?

 

[Pr0d1gy]

Shadowrun

 

[Farang]

Google. They have the ability to completely destroy me, but benevolently have not done so.

 

[Braznor]

Your Federal Reserve Bank.

 

[MaxPayne63]

Goldman Sachs already is your corporate overlord, whether you like it or not.

 

[fralexandr]

does Costco count?

 

[eldorado99]

The shoe cobbler's union of America holds some sway, let them control us all. Free shoes for all.

 

[thecrecarc]

Goldman Sachs already is your corporate overlord, whether you like it or not.

Facebook has a larger market capitalization than Goldman Sachs. I am not impressed with my overlord.

 

[Sluggo]

Amazon

 

[DaveSimmons]

Don't know. Maybe something out of Germany.

Pepperl+Fuchs, perhaps?

Vanguard?

I do worship their low-expense index funds . . . .

Vanguard it is.

 

[Jeff7]

I do worship their low-expense index funds . . . .

Vanguard it is.

I had reservations there though - it feels like they sold out a bit by also carrying actively-managed funds. I don't know the reasons behind that though.


It seems I've got to have some trust in them though, since that's where I've got my Roth IRA.
*sigh*
Another two years and I can upgrade my Total Stock Market fund to the "Admiral" shares. 0.06% ER.

(Now if only my employer's 401k was also with them... ERs there are 1.39-1.86%. Or Fidelity, or somewhere that would offer some good low-cost options.)

 

[gorcorps]

I've already accepted a giant multinational company as my overlord.

 

[Red Storm]

Would have to be Google.
