I have no problem with people who are invest socially consciously.

there are a # of mutual funds that run funds that do this too

Some people won't buy MO (altria aka phillipp morriss) cause tobacco sux.

Other might eschew GE (defense contracting) etc.

That's the great thing is that it's free choice.

You can invest in green stocks if you want (solar, etc.), companies whose policies you agree with (like if you like costco vs. walmart), etc.

it's really pretty open ended.

Personally, i do NOT trade socially consciously. For me, that simply won't work. But I respect those that do. I prefer to use my money for causes I believe in. But when it comes to picking stocks or investments I want to buy what's best, not what is in line with me politically.
