In my experience, the auditors themselves aren't really going to provide much value in terms of an evaluation. It was a little like having a Physics teacher ask each student to write their own final exam... and then take it. The teach

Yeah it's been wild hearing what people wanted to exclude if they could. Even the definition of "sin" stocks varies person to person. Some people are anti-tobacco but perfectly fine with stem cell research. re: Wealthfront
