Thought question: what would you invest in?

[dmaze]

Pretend you're running a mutual fund. You have lots of other people's money to play with. While they'll be sad if they lose it, fundamentally you've told them up front what your investment strategy is. ("I invest only in IPOs and plan to sell everything within 6 months" is legit, even if there's a substantial chance they'll tank; "I buy a controlling share of Microsoft common stock" isn't realistic; "I buy consumer debt" or "I buy houses in expensive urban areas" is; less glamorously, "I buy government bonds" is also a fine answer.)

What do you invest in, and why?

I'd invest in lots of companies working on environmentally-friendly tech (wind power, electric cars, green computers, hemp farming - things like that). Because I think it's a growing sector and because I WANT it to be a growing sector and investing in it is one way to make that happen.
