Green Commodities for a Complete Green Portfolio

Haha! Thanks for the advertisement, Stockaccumulator. According to my short term trading models, I would be short SOL as of June 13th, and would be up 30%+ (though it's not one of my top 20 positions, and I didn't trade it).

Keep the pump and dump kind of vibes on someone else's posts perhaps.

Jgib, I agree - I talk about my criteria for holdings like EWZ on the blog. I use biocapacity and carbon metrics for macro holdings (like currency and index), but there is some soul swallowing that happens. It's inevitable in green investing. Even green holdings have questionable things. I definitely understand the underlying hypocrisy, but I do use a series of actual scientific studies to come up with the allocations. In my opinion, the overall idea is to promote green and not sacrifice returns, and a holding like EWZ fits that model.
