I own Oil,Tobacco,GE stocks.

I earn dividends on my BP stock, GE, Tobacco industry stocks and some war industry stocks. I guess I sold out but the money requires no work on my part it just reinvests itself into more shares. If you cannot beat them join them is better than starving.

My evil portfolio.

 

you can avoid starving without supporting something you don't condone.

To each his own, but owning stock in a company you criticize on moral grounds is hypocritical IMHO.

 

Good for you. Those are some profitable stocks right now. The stock market is all about making a profit, so don't worry about anything else.

 

I did something similar, I was upset at how almost everything I buy is made in china, so I invested in a Chinese mutual fund.

As long as you sell it and take as much money out of the company as possible its not all bad.

 

as long as you dont feel guilty about it then its fine....

 

My dad gets oil money, but nothing big, just the occasional check. It's helped my family out...Nothing shameful about taking a piece of the pie! After all, the greedy politicos profit off these things, so why shouldn't we "normal" people do the same? It's not like you're embezzling or engaging in mass cover-ups and lies like they do, so not to worry.

 

Well said. I agree.

 

You are a true capitalist! I am proud, you are a true American...:cheers2:

 

yeah, a typical money minded ****.

 

.

 

It's your money, you can do what you want with it.

Your supposed to make money in the stock market not lose it, good job man.

 

problem is money becomes your life, back in 06 when oil was coming down I thought about investing in oil but I didnt because I didnt want any part in the blood money, and who knows I may have turned into a Republican

 

Eh if you can make a profit off of the corporations instead of them making a profit off of you, go for it i say. Not like you're stealing anything and it's not like they wouldn't do well without your support.

 

problem is you turn into a war cheerleader even if you dont want to

If you invest in a company and that company is profitable when there are wars, wouldnt you hope for war subconciously

at this point I wish I invested in oil back in 06, I knew it would jump back up, I would have made alot of money to, I realize this country and world for the most part is all about fucking over the next person and making money, I tried to change it but this world go the best of me

 

money and time destroys the soul.

 

What are their stocks at right now? I know tobacco should still be doing OK.

 

What if you donate the money you make off the corporations to someplace like Greenpeace? Or at least a percentage of it

 

Go see who is selling gas for more and trade them in. Chevron and Shell are pretty expensive!
