- The fund seems to be doing better than its competitors. It's focus: "cigarettes, alcohol, gaming and casinos, and defense." I'm okay with alcohol in moderation and possibly defense in a small number of cases, but I think that I'd pass on investing in the rest.

At first they thought I'd
At first they thought I'd sprained my wrist on the monkey bars when I was a kid...but it was actually a hairline fracture they missed on the x-ray at first. But I still loved the monkey bars. I was just a lot more careful using them after that. Live and learn within reason? Sounds like they could use less red tape and more common sense.
