Our Most Controversial Episode
This week, we thought we’d shake things up.
It’s been a slow news week so we’ve decided to stir up a bit of controversy. In the era of Prince Harry’s book Spare, apparently the only way to get a bit of attention is to lay it all out, the good, the bad, and the debatable.
Anne Marie and Emmet examine their own investment boundaries and the ethical debates that happen behind the scenes of controversial stock picks.
The crew also answer the question:
What company are you impressed by but wouldn’t invest in for ethical reasons?
We hope you enjoy!
