      Oil stocks were down 90% in March 2020. That’s what I went with. You can profit off a lot of things if you’re willing to hold for a few years.

        I once had stocks in Shell, mainly because it’s a Dutch company (I’m Dutch) and its a pretty stable investment. But it felt very wrong to invest in oil. So after a few months I sold them (thankfully with a little profit).

        Personally I just don’t want to invest in anything I think fucks up the world. It’s also why I don’t want to invest in meta and some other tech companies.

          For better or worse, then you wont want to invest in well, anything. Capitalism is always fucking up the world.

          That said, most don’t have a choice about it, if they ever want to retire.

          The best I can get you is investing in Seed Commons, or something similar: https://seedcommons.org/invest
