Am I a socially conscious investor (also known as a socially responsible investor)? A subscriber recently asked me this very question. Social conscious investing is popular these days, as many people want to do the right thing. That being said, I also believe that social responsible investing could lead to unintended consequences. Learn about my personal values-based investing strategy, and how each dividend investment requires an open mind and consideration of all pros and cons. Learn why blanket statements and strategies are potentially dangerous in the world of investing.
At a high level, I believe in the following concepts for my dividend growth investing strategy.
1) I believe that consumers should have choice.
2) I believe in the power of moderation and self-control.
3) I believe that good deeds go rewarded. In the long run, people and companies that drive value will be rewarded.
When people approach social conscious investing, they can be quick to pass judgment. While blanket statements are easy, they can also be dangerous.
Today, I go through three industry sectors that prove the analysis (of whether a company is socially conscious or not) is super complex:
1) Energy / Oil
2) Technology
3) Fast Food
Learn how companies in energy and fast food may look "un-responsible" at first glance, but there are actually two sides to the equation.
Learn how technology companies may look "responsible" at first glance, but again there are two sides to that story.
At the end of the day, dividend growth investors are marrying their positions for decades. It's important to follow one's values in life and finance. If one does not follow their values, they may be too quick to sell a position. My strategy is one about avoiding fast conclusions and taking every company on a case-by-case decision.

About the Site 🌐
This site provides links to random videos hosted at YouTube, with the emphasis on random. 🎥
Origins of the Idea 🌱
The original idea for this site stemmed from the need to benchmark the popularity of a video against the general population of YouTube videos. 🧠
Challenges Faced 🤔
Obtaining a large sample of videos was crucial for accurate ranking, but YouTube lacks a direct method to gather random video IDs.
Even searching for random strings on YouTube doesn't yield truly random results, complicating the process further. 🔍
Creating Truly Random Links 🛠️
The YouTube API offers additional functions enabling the discovery of more random videos. Through inventive techniques and a touch of space-time manipulation, we've achieved a process yielding nearly 100% random links to YouTube videos.
About YouTube 📺
