Hyundai Motor Company (HYMTF)

I do not buy stocks based on my philosophical or political views. I have bought some that, when it came to consider selling, I have weighed the factor of what good the company was doing in the world and let that color my decision, but never a buy based on that kind of thinking.

And, I admit to buying stocks that I know are not doing good. Interestingly, the last one move to private equity to stay out of the spotlight. Yes, it was that bad. My small investment did not make it any more powerful, and it gave me very high returns. Karmically, I hope my charitable donations offset that.

All that preamble has to do with my adding Hyundai to my watch list today. I have admired Boston Dynamics for years, and am annoyed that big companies with a public face have kept the ownership in private holding companies. But now, Hyundai, with an 80% stake in BD, will be using BD robots in its factories. The cynic in me expects that there will be an accident at some point, which will be terrible for the person or persons involved, and will create a buying opportunity that I think of as revenge for Hyundai not making BD available for public trading.
