An Interview with BoiseKen

Last updated: 4/30/2012
The Fool:
What was your first educational exposure to investing?
BoiseKen:
High school personal finance class.
The Fool:
Does ethics or 'socially responsible investing' have a place in your investment approach? How so? How not?
BoiseKen:
Yes it does. I'm looking for green -- both in profit and in consciousness. We aren't just investing for cash; we also have to invest for the long term -- that means making the earth a place we want to retire on. Why kill the planet, upset everybody, and oppress every working person? Doesn't seem like much of a legacy.
The Fool:
What was the most significant discovery of the last century?
BoiseKen:
H3 on the moon.
