NOW WE'RE TALKING !!!

Defense contractors, oil companies (U.S. and friendly gov't only), alcohol, tobacco, GAMBLING, and "adult films". Missing any categories?

When I worked for an investment management firm, we used to joke about wanting to set up the Couch Potato Fund.

It would invest in Playboy, cable TV, online gambling, booze, publicly traded strip clubs, and tobacco.

There probably aren't any that are defined quite like that. I'd be a hoot though. Probably very popular too.

Wanna guess what the non-smoker's stock of choice used to be?
