> However, I sold it all in June 2024 at $25 a share as they started to pull in military contracts (and lots of them). These FDEs were too damn effective. Not a fan of military contracts but I guess thats where the money is. Nevertheless, morals first.

Yeah, I don't know about this. Imo, from as soon as you decide to invest in the stock market, you're signing away your ability to call morals as a rationale for any further decision. Where does the line start and end? Would you sell MSFT because of their involvement in Gaza? Sell a broad market index because a company there is doing something 'immoral'? No matter how you invest, you should automatically assume the company is doing something awful.

My opinion though, to each their own. An interesting article!

Yes.

Honestly, this is a lot harder to do. It depends on your definition of immoral but there are some smaller indexes and ESG funds that vet individual stocks before inclusion.

Interesting response, good point about the smaller funds also!
