Investment Strategies

So, apparently, I’ve been picking what stocks/mutual funds to invest in the wrong way. I’ve been trying to figure out things like past performance, future estimates for the company, things called p/e ratios.. all that financial muckety-muck… turns out I should have been picking stocks based on morals.

Both virtue and vice seem to be increasingly effective investing strategies. God and Satan are both winning on Wall Street. In recent years, people who have invested in a particular brand of virtue—the Ave Maria Catholic Values Fund—and people who have invested in a particular brand of vice—the Vice Fund—have both handily beaten the market.

And, in case you had to ask, yes.. my choice of the two options would have been to invest in sin and vice.
