Recently liberated a 401k when the owner retired. It dropped a lot in the last couple years, but for what remained, I wanted to find something that I could feel good about, as well as 'feel good about', but there was simply NOTHING else worthy of my money. Even the folks I respect and trust when I posed the moral question responded essentially 'if it's legal, it's OK to invest in'. I don't let government decide my morality, so I simply had only one choice, certainly not for that 'institutional money'.
