I understand your desire for investing in non-exploitive & humanitarian friendly companies and I bet there’s an ETF out there for you, they have everything else covered! Do you want a clear conscience or financial independence? Are these conflicting notions? Sin sells. Sex, drugs, booze, gambling has big profits. Keep the sheep liquored up and ignorantly squandering money on lotto & slots and I’ll take the profits from them. I lack remorse for fleecing the fiscally dumb in order to get ahead. There are those amongst us that feel the need to wrench ourselves from this existence of depending on a company that does not truly value our effort and could pull the rug out from under us on a whim. ---

in all honesty, the economy is in a slump cause its all consumer driven now-a-days, with all this investing, less spending and more saving, it just hurts the economy and then your money you invested looses value when stocks fall… ---
