It’s not a conflict of interest if you buy a share as part of the investigation, literally I have no clue how to tell you this in any other way. If you need to own a share to ask questions, it is only proper to buy a share and ask the questions. You are the reason journalism is dying.

The reason you buy it does not matter. Owning a share in a business you're reporting on is a de facto conflict of interest. You merely saying it isn't does not make your statement true. Coming up with excuses for why it was bought doesn't either. A good journalist will at least still declare their conflicts of interest, but that declaration does not dispell it.

You are the reason journalism is dying.

You are being an ass.
