They should be mad that their pension funds are bankrupt and that the only reason they are shown as being solvent is because the actuaries that model returns for the funds are using unrealistically high returns in the models.

These kooks don't speak for everyone.

Mrs. 40 is a retired teacher in the Peoples' Republik of Kalifornistan and she is perfectly fine with her retirement funds being invested in gun manufacturing.

I fully agree, these shares should be sold immediately and every teacher’s pension summarily reduced. Each quarter, the stock should be examined for what profits might have been made, and all teachers should be assigned a reduction in benefits equal to their share of this loss.

Hint to the teachers: If it’s making money, shut up.

“They should be mad that their pension funds are bankrupt...”

We can only hope that in the not too distant future, CalPers will be forced to cut the pension benefits for all California State and Local Employees. Ditto for the Teachers Retirement System here. The trough is being closed, you PE hogs will be needing to find a new wallow.

“Gore is an honorary Black.”

From recent pictures, it would appear that Gore has been personally trying to inhale all the errant atmospheric pollution. Being “black” is the least of his current worries. He’s going to need a bigger jet just to get him off the ground.

I hire a Group to do my investments. I’m sure there are many companies who are led by CEO’s whose views I hate. But I asked my Group to make me money and let them decide the way to do it. If they fail I will just change Groups.
