We've been mulling over inve$tment option$ here at work, $ince the
401K per$on wa$ running around. Fooli$hly, they have a lot of money
in the a$ian market. That led me and marcia to thinking. With all
the depre$$ion in a$ia, thing$ are likely to lead to war. Now the
$ale of a few fighter jet$ to indone$ia i$n't going to make a blip
on the $tock value of northrop or ge or anything, but tho$e
$outhea$t a$ian countrie$ are really into police riot gear, like
cattle-prod$, tear ga$, $wat team $tuff. The $ale of riot gear i$
oficially $anctioned and $upported by the U$ government, a$ long a$
the $ale i$ to extremely repre$$ive regime$ $uch a$ the indone$ian$,
$ingapore, or china. That mean$ that the companie$ that make thi$
$tuff have no ri$k, $ince all $ale$ are guaranteed and all tarif$
are paid by the federal government. On top of that, they have
virtually unlimited growth potential in the next few year$.
My problem i$ that I keep inve$ting in the$e pan$y "$ocially
re$pon$ible" fund$. I need not ju$t a fund that'$ not $ocially
re$pon$ible, I need a fund that'$ aggre$$ively irre$pon$ible.
That'$ when I'd get rich. War profiteering i$ the be$t inve$tment.
