Yes, but my answer may also depend on how you define 'charity'. One might define as giving to those who ask of you , without any expectation of repayment (in other words, out of sheer good will). If that is the definition, then yes, I do give to charity. I often give to my local education foundation (yearly, in fact). I have donated to the Red Cross, and I have also given spare change to bums on the streets of NY. I have no idea what is done with this money, nor do I care. I give because they seem to need it more than I do, and I hope they do something constructive with it, and helps them in some way. Does this mean I am 'charitable'? Or just a poor investor? (I suspect the latter, and I suspect that you would probably agree if you looked at my stock portfolio)
