Comment on Lawsuit against Meta invokes modern portfolio theory to protect shareholdersparent

Comments

The complaint alleges that the Meta directors failed to consider that shareholders with diversified portfolios may be subject to net losses from Meta’s pursuit of a business model that maximizes advertising revenue without regard to the harms it inflicts on the rest of their portfolios.

This is one of the craziest stances/lawsuits I’ve ever read. Boglehead thought has taken over so much that the shareholders are referring to a nebulous diversified portfolio as something that somehow must be protected by law. That’s too far out there.
