### Comment:
except that when you boycott a company, you are not providing the company with money from the services/product you would otherwise be buying. 
  
 purchasing stock options is immaterial -- it does not go into EA's coffers.

### REPLY:
That is true. With options it's not really any sort of investment. Even though I recognize OP was talking about options to begin with.  
 But to be fair you did say 7 shares with your cheeky comment so I thought you were talking about regular stock trading as well.
