Dave!
You don’t consider ethics at all? in any investments?!

If someone came to you with a solid investment plan in a company you knew used sweatshops using child slaves (A few kids die here and there, but great returns!) you’d be ok with that?
Thinking about it I refuse to buy British American Tobacco but it's the only one I can remember just saying no to despite it being a good bet for long term stability.

Dave!
Well i’m glad you have some standards.

That’s how i feel about proof of work crypto - it’s disgusting to promote such a pointless waste of resource.

Tell us about what your pensions invested in. You probably have no idea but like to think you're whiter than white.

Thats a fair comment, but I still make a point of not actively choosing to support it.

I still hope it fails too - regardless of if that affects me.

You can actively choose your investments. You choose not to. Not liking crypto is fine, tobacco, rolls royce or war shares too. But you have to realise the folk managing your money put it where's good for you. Funds have been very good to me recently, I have no idea what companies are in them.

I’m not sure he would want me to post this but Broccers is a nice guy who doesn’t need to justify his investment choices to me or any of us.

That’s a good point - I don’t know exactly what is in mine but I have a feeling Nvidia is, and they feel like the bubble which has caused all funds (along with the world’s largest economy) to be doing OK. Fingers crossed for our ‘safe’ investments too.
