Again, would you not consider it relevant to discuss if 20% of your HPQ investment was going to be diluted away from us shareholders? Well, in effect, that's precisely the position we Americans are in when in comes to our HPQ investment, if Biden wins. Since he is promising to raise the max tax rate on long term capital gains from 23 percent all the way up to 40 percent!
Americans who hold HPQ stock deserve to know this, so they can vote to protect their investment. And the only way to do that is to vote for Trump, and to a lesser extent, for Republican senators and congressmen.
So you may call it "politics", but you cannot say it is irrelevant or that shareholders should not be informed about this impending disaster for their investment. They need to know, and they deserve to know. This massively and directly involves their investment in HPQ, so it is VERY MUCH on topic!
Fake News
Fake news, huh? Not so much.
Per CNBC:
- Biden has proposed increasing the top tax rate for capital gains to 39.6% from 23.8%, the largest real increase in capital gains rates in history.

The network news on TV are not talking about this. I have asked a number of people if they are aware of this, and most were not.
HPQ shareholders in America need to be made aware of this, so they can vote to protect their investment. This is directly on topic - you're talking about taking almost 20 percent of your HPQ investment away from you!
Americans who hold an investment in HPQ, vote accordingly on Nov 3. Protect your investment.
