Investing Morally - the Opioid Epidemic

Morons!!!  That is who this is for.  Remember the blog title carefully.

What if you see that you need some type of retirement like a 401(k) or a Roth IRA or an annuity or at least a social security check and you wonder what the best investment is out there.  You start to hear all over the place that there is an epidemic in America related to heroin and opiates.  Herion and opiates are really the same thing.  The drug dealer on the street and the scipt for Oxycontin are really the same thing.

You are a moron, and so even though people are dying from the opioid epidemic (everybody has to die some time), the opioids are helping people with there pain.  Didn't someone once say, "Religion is an opiate for the masses."  So giving people an opiate for pain is good, of course not to be used except at the uttermost point of need (or when someone wants it).  So as a moron you say, "How can I build my retirement portfolio on opiates?"

No! You would never sell heroin on the street.  So you can't do that.

But this cool company called Purdue Pharma makes Oxycontin and tons of other pain meds.  They pretty much just make a bunch of pain meds.  Are these pain meds killing people?  Yes.  But are they escaping their pain?  Yes, they are dead.

Purdue Pharma sounds like a pretty smart organization in that they have figured out how to kill loads of people every day and get paid for it in the name of helping people in their pain.  Funny how they have had lots of law suits against them that they have lost, but how can the millions they lose in court ever compare to the trillions of dollars they make every year?

You don't believe me!  Try to look up how much anybody high up there makes.  They take the natuarlist's law in their disclosure of their financial information - LEAVE NO TRACE.  Is Oxycontin alone a big money maker for Purdue Pharma?  If 2 billion dollars is a lot, then yes.  But what if they don't record all their sales?  Wouldn't want everyone to know about all their deals.  What about the Oxycontin and other opiates shipped all around the world?

If you are a big enough moron and have absolutely no ethics like Purdue Pharma, you are super-excited to buy Purdue Pharma stock.  You were thinking of Bershire Hathaway, and then you got all moronic and went all in with Purdue Pharma.

Then you realize there is not Purdue Pharma stock.  It is a private company.  You see, to be a public company and sell shares of stock, there would be two problematic issues that Raymond Sackler (read: evil character in real live thriller), the owner of Purdue Pharma would have to be faced with:

1.  In the words of Carrie Underwood - DIRTY LAUNDRY.  His information would become less and less private.
2.  He would have to share all that money with investment companies like Vanguard and Fidelity.

So you cannot invest in the Opiate Crisis, because Raymond Sackler, the owner and Drug Lord of Opiates, won't let you have any of the money that he uses to kill people all throughout this country.

Sadly, although Purdue is the worst they are not alone.  Abb Vie, Indivior, and Mallinckrodt and many others.

There are many morons willing to live rich on the funerals that fill the obituaries.
