"Canadian investors are generally favourable
towards SRI. A third (32%) said they are 'very' or
'somewhat' interested. [Another] 55 per cent indicated
that they would consider SRI if the return was 'as good
or better' than other investments... The majority of
investors surveyed view SRIs as 'futuristic' (78%) and
'a win-win for the individual and society' (77%)."

July 28, 2006 -- There are
extraordinary biases that I believe are behind the
design and presentation of many US government
statistics. It seems to me that the public should
know much more about this. My research reveals many
surprises.
I'm writing a series
of editorials for the Investing for the Soul website
on the ethics of US government statistics. The
first article in the series begins below. Feel free
to use it, or parts of it, as you wish. I only ask
that appropriate credit be given.
Unethical
Statistics - the US Consumer Price Index?
by Ron Robins
Media relentlessly publish the latest government
statistics, and markets react to them, sometimes
violently. Often your paycheque, government support
payments and investment income are significantly
influenced by them. But are they valid? Some astute
economists and statisticians conclude there is
obfuscation of these statistics, and subsequent
misrepresentation of them in the media – who usually
have neither the time nor expertise to examine them.
Best wishes, sincerely,
