• 13/2/2007 - VICTORY - I AM THE RULER OF THE WORLD

Posted in Personal

My thesis is, as far as I'm concerned, done.  Finished, over.  Tomorrow I will get it printed and submit it on Wednesday before I fly off to Perth.

It's not due until Friday.  My supervisor still hasn't got back to me or as far as I can tell from my lack of read recipt, read it.  But it's going in and that's it.

 

It was about Ethical Investing and Portfolio Theory, which I won't bore you all with, but my big spectacular conclusion is that whilst Ethical Investment may work, it is actually a Corporate Governance issue as markets are efficient and financial performance based.  (I was of course ignoring the fact that only academics believe in market efficiency and most Mac traders would gladly golat that markets are not efficent, they can capitalise on it and are not prepared to share their info).

Everybody, I read it and found it very interesting! Surpised me too as I have NO concept of figures/money markets and the like but Angela made it very readable.

Ethical Investment... I've got all the paperwork to swap my super over and I feel it's the right thing to do even if it just sends a message out to the market, that ethical investment is a market - if you know what I mean? So, oh doctor to be, whaddyareckon?

It is up to you how you invest your money, but after researching it, it's difficult to say what is actually an ethical investment. Basically a long as it's legal it will be considered ethical by someone. The Reputex index, for example has shares that are in the gaming and alcohol industry, however they conduct their business in an ethical manner.
For ethical investing to work, it would mean that either ethical companies would be bought and sold in the market for more than they are worth, or unethical ones sold for less than they're worth. There is a lot of evidence to suggest that most companies usually sell for what they're worth.
That being said if you don't want your money in something, don't put it in it.

And is only for my masters, I don't think I have the level of sanity needed for a phd.
