State of Texas: Texas Stock Exchange

Texas Stock Exchange - A proposal to create a state-focused stock exchange gets a boost from big-money backers like BlackRock. But the state just divested billions from BlackRock due to ESG. What changed to fuel this potential partnership? We speak with the State Comptroller to explain.

Black Rock and Texas have a weird relationship. My employer had a portfolio heavily invested in Black Rock. They were a civil engineering construction firm. When they fired me they took what I had in my 401k which was like 25k. When they are talking about damage control... black rock did so many texans dirty starting with their employers.

BlackRock??? Nope. Not interested. Want nothing to do with the snakes at BlackRock.

Amazing video, A friend of mine referred me to a financial adviser sometime ago and we got to talking about investment and money. I started investing with $150k and in the first 2 months, my portfolio was reading $274, 800. Crazy right!, I decided to reinvest my profit and get more interesting. For over a year we have been working together making consistent profit just bought my second home 2 weeks ago and care for my family.

I've heard that index funds and ETFs provide diversified stock market exposure while spreading risk. I have over $800K in savings; What's the most effective strategy to allocate funds in my portfolio and generate profits?

Texas was smart to divest from BlackRock. Let BlackRock fail on it's ESG policies, because if ESG was so great they would be pushing their weight behind the NYSE.

Blackrock can kick rocks….we don’t tolerate ESG or DEI in Texas.

[infini.tesimo]

We'll do it if they drop the DEI nonsense.

If Texas is the epicenter of the future economy, why are the trucking rates coming into, and going out of, Texas so bad? Everything in your house, in the background of your interview, at your church, in your bank, and at your kiddo's school was on a semi-truck at some point. Texas is getting hit hard, owner-operators are going under — left and right.

The fact that Black Rock is involved, makes me not want for Texas to be a Stock Market center

[jamesbottoms]

I will invest as long as blackrock is banned from it, congressmen too.

[TheOne-xuoy]

Texas taking steps to secede from this bih 😂😂😂

[Ellifiknow]

I'm sure there won't be any shenanigans or glitches that make a couple of people billions right off the bat.

ESG runs contrary to companies fiduciary duties to shareholders

[Diddler]

Blackrock Really, one of the most woke companies around!

[Deezalmech]

Black Rock is not good for Texas. Black Rock is not good period.

[kaylanmichelle_]

Blackrock is literally financing this thing. What are they talking about?

[V-xp]

Texas stock exchange? That just means more Democrats moving to texas

[benjaminingram]

Stock exchange is too risky texas should say no.
