When you are an investor, you are attempting to help the business you are invested in to succeed (unless you are a hedge fund manager.) From a moral standpoint, I would not choose to invest in companies that profit from tobacco sales. However, I am torn in that I own certain diversified mutual funds which are likely to have some investments in big tobacco.
I would like to say that the stock market is just for making profits for investors and if I did not participate, someone else would; but I feel there is some personal responsibility to take for your investments.
