It's true. A person has to make the best choices for themselves.
Oil stock, in my case, paid off my student loans and paid for the down payment on my home, and just in time too given that the US leaders have allowed things to get so bad for the people in those arenas.
The way I justify it to myself is that, as far as investing goes, I am among the smallest of the small fish. Unless you own enough to sway votes in a public company, your investment doesn't particularly matter as far as a company's policies and behavior.
