Being part of a Professional Business Fraternity (Alpha Kappa Psi), I am privileged to have the opportunity to visit Raymond James, a brokerage firm in Vancouver Downtown, as a representative for my fraternity’s investment club I carried a long a learning attitude when I went to visit them. Not surprised, I did in fact learn a lot from Peter who was a Financial Advisor in Raymond James. He provided us with insights on how the firm works, the breakdown on how deals get through and the sectors to be aware of in the next coming months.
I would like to direct your attention though, to stocks which many financial advisors would agree that its a great invesment, a stock which rarely fails you, a stock not many people would like to buy, tobacco. Linking this to my earlier blog entry, tobacco stocks, many consider them to be ‘unethical‘ stocks which is the sole reason why an average investor will not be willing to invest money into these companies. To invest in them means that you are actively supporting them, by giving them money, people are allowing them power to expand and to harm more people through their marketing strategies which is targeted towards young people.
As a potential investor I would strongly oppose the idea of investing in something which brings negative impact to health, if you are an investor, what would you do?
