I am impressed that the divestment movement is doing so well.
That said, I still stand by the worry I have which is that for every stockholder that divests there must be a stockholder that invests (a buyer and a seller) and if the movement is to divest then prices will drop.
When prices drop, the value of the oil companies drop. The investors get nervous and that starts a cycle.
The risk is that the ones who step in to buy are the ones who don’t care what the companies do - so the worst traits and behaviour are given more free rein - more shortcuts - more Gulf Of Mexico oil spills.
