1. I see...
Tech, financials and some blue chips. How that relates to anything Edwards is advocating is quite beyond me.

All in all, I see no conflict in Edwards investing his money with a company that he trusts. That is his money and his right.

I was looking for something Id been told about but didnt see it.
Then again, this stuff is entirely Greek to me.
Plenty of bad actors from the consumer/small business pov.
Guitar Center is the great Satan of musical instrument retailers.
Pacific Ethanol is one of the Clean Energy scams Im familiar with.
The Gap is of course The Gap, they really tend to suckle.
Halliburton, GE, GM, Banco de everybody, citigroup, Hersheys, Chevron,
Coca Cola AND Pepsi (We got both kinds, Country AND Western)
Cable companies, Energy companies, financials, publishing like McGraw Hill,
Primedia- major contributors to dumbing down, consolidation and the death
of culture in magazine publishing.
Not that JE is responsible for the reprehensible behavior of any of these
companies, but I would say having an interest in Halliburton is disturbing
if not surprising.
He's definitely turning bucks off this war.
Wouldnt it be nice if the average American profited as well?
I guess thats not how it works.

3. I have long found it disturbing that Edwards invested so heavily in
a hedge fund and worked for it. It's a bit ironic that he made money off the war- and frankly, it's not a good sign. If you really are anti-corporate you don't invest in the worst corporations.
