Tip, Yeah, and some of my other funds own tobaccos. I'm a HYPOCRITE!
Are you happy now? I never thought I'd get caught. I actually believe in smoking, just not tobacco. <G>

I haven't thought of a justification other than that it is important to get these third world exploding populations hooked on something that will kill them. Ugh, that may not sound too liberal and progressive and international in scope. <G> Perhaps I figure that if I am tobacco free in my individual holdings, and have no control over the fund manager's decisions, my principles are not violated. Do I sound like Bill Clinton?
