Fresh links are back in your eyedrums.
- Larry Swedroe put out a piece a couple of weeks ago about the costs of socially responsible investing: I wrote a blog about it, here.
- Controversial investments generally yield positive abnormal (risk-adjusted) returns using the Carhart four-factor model (beta, size, value and momentum). Screening them out produces suboptimal financial performance.

nearly 90% were in favor of making college free for students from lower income families
