I don't think extrapolating from the past to the future will work here. Also the biggest companies are most often the least societal beneficial ones, so it's morally more difficult for me to justify investing at a stock exchange.

There a handful of funds out there that invest in less damaging companies, obviously with a somewhat smaller return. I ended up choosing PAXWX, for example, though there are others. I'd be happy to hear others' ideas for ethical investing (preferably without a lot of effort).
