Sustainable capitalism is an oxymoron; a parasite always kills its host in the end.

Says someone who is either ignorant or a shill: “If a majority of Americans quickly invested the minimum in Generation Investment Management (GIM), that would send a profound message to Wall Street.” It sure would—it would tell them that people are idiots and the next bubble to exploit is “green” investing.

But can the “majority of Americans” even invest in Gore’s gambit? When carbon neutral pigs fly to Davos on their private jets! How many Americans, beaten down by unfair taxes, usurious debt slavery, hidden inflation, and the rest of the economic deviltry of the corporate elites—of whom Al “Carbon Neutral” Gore is undeniably one—can actually afford to invest in Gore’s conscience-washing machine?

“With a US$3 million minimum investment, [Generation Investment Management] will market its services to pension funds, charitable foundations, and wealthy private investors.” - source

So, that’s basically nobody but the .001%.

And what are the planet-loving .001% buying when they get into “Sustainable capitalism” with the Al Gore Show? Their money goes to vaccine peddlars, Taiwanese semiconductor manufacturers, and multinational purveyors of household chemicals. The only thing green about this portfolio is its management fee. And anybody stupid enough to pay ex-Goldman Sachs gamblers to gamble with their money deserves to be fleeced.

That’s right, those crims again. Gore co-founded Generation with “David Blood a former CEO at Goldman Sachs Asset Management, Mark Ferguson and Peter Harris, also former Goldman Sachs executives…”

Blood, Gore, and Goldman Sachs - sounds like a zombie gangster movie.

“The first thing you need to know about Goldman Sachs is that it’s everywhere. The world’s most powerful investment bank is a great vampire squid wrapped around the face of humanity, relentlessly jamming its blood funnel into anything that smells like money…”  —Matt Taibbi

Al Gore is a front-man for a Goldman Sachs greenwashing machine. If a epically mendacious liar like this man is talking about a bunch of pie-in-the-sky reforms, which he knows full well are never going to happen in ten thousand years, then the only purpose these comments serve are to bring attention to his fund: to bring more money in from guilty rich fools to hand over to his crew of management fee-collecting gamblers. He is selling green snake oil, and you are snapping it up.

I don’t know specifically how the fee structure of GIM exactly, but the way many of these funds are set up, the management takes 2% of thet total amount of money managed every year as their fee, and then they take 20% of the profits earned by the fund off the top—the classic 2 and 20 hedge fund set up. By simply understanding basic math, you can see that the more of other people’s money they have to gamble with, the more they make in short-term management fees regardless of performance.

If their long positions are ultimately unsustainable and the fund ultimately blows up, because they invested in junk bonds or dotcoms or fraud-soaked mortgage securities or green tech hype machines, it doesn’t matter to them if they’ve been collecting multi-million dollar “management” fees before the principle vanishes.

This is what they call the “free market”, but the game is rigged, the markets are fixed, and nothing in life is free.

@ PeopleOVERgreed

You are joking right???

We already have pension plans invested and dependent on the health of the Dow Jones etc., now we should get activists to become Wall Street stakeholders.

“hey, it’s a free-market”

“invest in your conscience”

You are a funny guy in every sense of the word (including smell).

If a majority of Americans quickly invested the minimum in Generation Investment Management (GIM),  that would send a profound message to Wall Street.

I believe it is time to fight fire with fire using activist hedge funds to [peacefully] disrupt the financial market through investment demonstrations.

Up to now there are zero consequences on Wall Street as the markets have their way until the big slow battleship of public opinion gains momentum, but, by them its too late and spin doctors cover the tracks.

Having one or more activist hedge funds is the perfect tool to put the financial fear in the hearts and minds of multi-national corporations and their share-holder values.

There is just one fundamental problem. People, citizen activist need to put their investment money where their mouths are on Wall Street. Activist hedge funds need to be big enough to rock the market. Without individual private investment the ability to police the market is lost.

Say for example you are upset that Apple hides behind its Chinese supply-chain accused of child and slave labor issues. Instead of buying that next generation Apple product. Invest that money instead in an activist hedge fund such as Generation Investment Management (GIM). If enough individual investor do this and word gets out, the message to Apple is loud and clear: opportunity LOST. This scenario applies to any product or service from a publicily traded company. Eventually a hedge fund such as Generation Investment Management (GIM), has the financial means as a market mover to make market driven financial protests and then the fireworks really begin to fly.

But, hey its a free-market. Nobody said activist could not band together and invest their conscience.
