does anyone have any advice on 'ethical' investing? like funds/ETFs to buy?
the Islamic dow jones seems like a good idea (no porn, gambling, weapons, alcohol) but I don't really care about Islams specific rules about usury/interest, nor do I care about pornography or alcohol, and they still have companies like Alphabet, Microsoft and Amazon
basically, I'm looking to avoid surveillance companies, gambling companies and companies related to global military contractors (especially US-Israeli related firms)

>inb4 no such thing as ethical investing
directly funding palantir in anyway makes my feel physically sick and I will not compromise on that.

Nouveau Monde Graphite? Seems to be on a bad downwards trend (-80% in 5 years), though renewables are probably something I'd look into.

this is a good idea, probably Japan

I'm a moral investor, I always invest according to my moral values and my values are the perennial values.

You gotta be careful because there are a lot of lies that will try to make you invest in something that is pure evil.

I take it you invest in individual stocks rather than funds/ETFs?

god already watches everything and even knows our thoughts, why is it uniquely bad if palantir finds out what we publicly broadcast over the internet? i think you're more worried about companies that would hold you to account for your own evil than anything else.

Moral investing is dumb and just a way to miss out on gains and lose more to fees. I used to work at a big wealth management place and they love those leftist trust fund kids because they generate more fees.

This is how I'd see it

If I'd get rich thanks to palantir, I'd spend my free time (thanks to the money I earned) "combatting" palantir, like joining association, or just giving money to NGO who work against it, you see... patronage/volunteering, this kind of stuff. So the ethical would not be on the investment itself but on my spare time

Why 'more fees'? It's not like I'm going to be using a specific service. Do 'ethical' funds cost more or something?
>>62119105
I've mulled over that too, but since it's unlikely that you or I will get 'rich', it's unlikely you or I would be able to 'combat' palantir. Of course, by the same metric, I also wont have any influence over whether they thrive or 'fail', so not investing and investing ultimately have the same outcome.
I suppose it's a hard situation, but I think it'd weigh heavy on my conscious to fund it, therefore I'm willing to lose out on any potential gains. This applies not just to Palantir, but also to any company I dislike, like Alphabet, Apple or Microsoft.

If I wouldn't give these companies my own money for one of their services on ethical grounds, I don't feel as though I should raise engage in funding them in any way, no matter how minor.
