Chef Jim Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 Since I've moved to SF as you can imagine I'm coming accross more people looking for "green/sustainable/socially consciouse" funds. We found a half way decent one (usually the returns on those things suck). Well guess what their top holding is....Transocean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC Tom Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 I get requests for Socially unresponsible......Oppenheimer Sex Drugs and Rock & Roll Fund C I just invest directly in Agfa, BASF, Bayer, Aventis...companies that used to be part of IG Farben.

Chef Jim Posted June 17, 2010 Author Share Posted June 17, 2010 I get requests for Socially unresponsible......Oppenheimer Sex Drugs and Rock & Roll Fund C A few years ago we "created" a vice fund. It did pretty well. BTW I sat down with this kid up here a few months ago and he said he didn't want to invest in any fund that had Haliburton in it. I asked why and he said "they kill people."
