Christopher's Ethical 100

C100 Investments for period close of trading 13 August 2006 to close of trading 13 August 2007.

 

The C100 is a list of 100 Domini stocks. I first created the list on 13 August 2002, so it is in its fifth year now. In year one, it beat the Domini400, S&P500 and the Dow. In year two, it beat those three again, as well as the NASDAQ and the Russell2000. In year three, it beat the Domini400, S&P500, Dow, and NASDAQ. In year four, it beat the NASDAQ. Three months into year five, it is beating the Domini400, the Dow30 and the S&P500.

 

Two caveats! 1) Please note that I am in no way associated with Domini Investments. The C100 simply uses this publicly available index as its "universe of stocks". 2) Do NOT regard the C100 as a list of "stock picks" from which to choose at random. I maintain separate portfolios for actively-traded stocks and the correlation between randomly selected stocks from the C100 and the overall C100 would be haphazard.
