1. I sold almost all my North American stocks after 9/11. Exxon, a couple of other oil

and oil related stocks and a couple of financial companies my wife and I have relationships with are the only ones I kept.

5. Sell out of Sudan for sure!
Did you know that your 401K, pension fund, or perhaps a college savings account, may be helping to fund the genocide? Divestment from Sudan by cities, states and universities is an important action to help end the crisis in Darfur. So is divestment by individuals from companies like Fidelity Investments.

Even as the violence in Darfur has escalated, Fidelity has increased its investments in PetroChina and Sinopec, two of the largest oil companies feeding money to the government of Sudan. It is clear that Sudan's oil revenue provides arms and funding for the genocide, not economic development for the people of Sudan.

Visit www.FidelityOutOfSudan.com to learn more and sign the petition to keep American investments firms from investing our money in companies that fund the genocide.

6. We're about to see how money trumps peace. (again)
I suspect some people will make a lot of money by going long on oil exploration, defense and aerospace and shorting just about everything else.
