Ethics and investing/trading should not be married together.
I don't say this lightly: this is a disgusting worldview. What keeps you from funding human trafficking, assuming a great rate of return? Or funding terrorism while shorting the stocks of companies affected?
You also realize that there's no real difference between funding the organizations who do bad things, and starting / running those organizations, right?
Honestly, it sounds like maybe you just don't have ethics, period.

I'm speaking about investing, the other things you added don't enter my thought process, they are irrelevant to investing. Stand on your moral soapboxes if you must, but this is about investing. I'm profitable, and one of the keys to that is not caring about anything other than being profitable. Don't handicap yourself, the sharks you are playing against certainly don't.

I didn't mean to ignore your question in my earlier reply. I realize this entirely. I'm not funding ISIS or trafficking organizations - I'm funding(for minutes at a time) pubicly traded organizations. Those tend to not dabble in the acts you mentioned. Hyperbole is fun, right?
