- I disagree. I think the argument goes more like this:
-
- Examine the set of all stocks and look for companies that seem
- appropriate for investment on either a fundamental basis, technical
- basis, or some combination of the two. Then you apply the "socially
- resposible" filter to that list and invest in those that pass. This is
- what the "Clean Yield" newsletter said they were doing when they were
- interviewed by Buz Schwartz. As best as I remember, their first pass
- would generate about 500 companies, and the filter would pare it down to
- 50 or so.
-
- Usual disclaimers and I'm not advocating SRI.
