Summary
This week on Brown Ambition’s Friday BA QA, Mandi answers a listener question that hits right at the intersection of money, values, and activism. A listener asks: If we’re boycotting a company, should we also sell the stock?
Using Target as a real-life example, Mandi breaks down what it really means to invest during a boycott, the difference between individual stocks and index funds, and why long-term investing often requires emotional discipline. She also dives into the ethics of investing, socially responsible portfolios, and how to decide when holding — or selling — is the right move for you.
As always, this is not financial advice — but it is real talk about aligning your money with your values.

| 0:00.0 | have a question about investments during a boycott. I've had a few shares of target stock for |
| 0:05.7 | several years. Now that we're boycotting, the value has decreased, but what would you |
| 0:11.0 | recommend doing with the stock? And as we participate in more strikes, how should I plan for the |
| 0:16.6 | future? If we boycott a business, should we automatically sell? I didn't sell my target holdings |
| 0:22.8 | initially because I optimistically thought my beloved Tarje would bring DEI back and the value |
| 0:29.3 | would rebound. This is an I-Heart podcast. Guaranteed human. Hey, hey, VA fan. Mr. Girl, Mandy Money and welcome back to the Friday, BAQA. I am so excited to be here and to |
| 0:47.4 | answer y'all's questions. I have been doing some cleanup. I've been going through, scraping through |
| 0:53.6 | the Brown Ambition DMs and my |
| 0:56.9 | DMs, my personal account, Mandy Money, and just making sure that I haven't missed any. And in fact, |
| 1:01.9 | I did. So today's show is dedicated to a listener who sent me a question back in September that I |
| 1:07.6 | missed, but I loved it so much. I said, I have to do this for today's show. |
| 1:13.5 | And I'm actually, it's a blessing in disguise that I missed the question until now because we're |
| 1:19.0 | going to get into it. And the fact that my answer really wouldn't have changed, whether I gave |
| 1:25.9 | this answer in September versus now. But I'll show |
| 1:30.7 | you when I answer the question how that actually has saved her money over time. All right, |
| 1:36.7 | let's get into it. Again, this is the BAQA. This is where I take your questions and I give you |
| 1:42.7 | answers with like a lowercase A because obviously I'm just a girl. I'm just a girl in the world, Gwen Safani. And I want you all to get those salt shakers out. Please don't sue me. If you do, I ain't got it. I mean, I'm a responsible business owner. So do I invest in business insurance? Yes. But do not take that as an invitation to try me in court. |
| 2:02.4 | Please. I have children. I have a life. I'm really just here to give y'all infotainment, right? |
| 2:08.4 | I'm going to give you my advice based on my personal experiences, but I am not in your pockets. |
| 2:13.7 | I am not your personal financial advisor. I'm damn sure I'm not your investment advisor. And in |
| 2:18.5 | particular because today's episode, this question is around investing in a single company's stock, |
| 2:24.0 | I want to double down on that. I am not your personal investment advisor. I highly recommend if you |
