If Intuit has no financial gain from selling stocks, then why sell stocks? That's why it is called an investment. :-)

Perhaps its just the simple, naieve farm boy in me, but I've learned since I was a child that you don't sow your seed in the weeds where it will be choked out, you sow it in good, clean and fertile soil where it will not only grow, but produce a harvest for everybody to share.

I refuse to provide any sort of support to companies who fail to do right by their customers. If you want to make a choice of good investment over good business, I can't stop you but I certainly cannot applaud you for it, either. You may not think yourself a hypocrit for doing so, but consider what your investment in this company really stands for.
