Max asks:

If I buy a company’s stock, the money that I spend does not actually go to the company itself, but to whomever owned that stock last, right?

What if I want to use my power as an investor to actually help companies that I like and I feel good about? What if I want to make my investment help that company directly by giving it an infusion of capital to use in R&D, innovation, etc, rather than just line the pocketbooks of third party investors?

I understand that a company’s IPO is a good time to do this, because the money raised from sales of stocks in an IPO goes directly to the company, right? And when companies sell new stock later on (not an “initial” public offering, but a subsequent public offering (?))?

But is there any other time or other circumstances when my investment directly raises money for that company, or am I stuck just trading symbolic pieces of paper with third party speculators?
