If they include book-keeping and junk or fast-food, I'm in too!

What a rabbit-hole.

It turns out there are several of these "vice funds". Some include gaming, which I think is in keeping with my broader view of including junk-food and gambling.

Genius. I can easily see this genre outperforming the market during a downturn.

Now I just need to learn how to buy a stock and/or share (although for the record I do tend toward the views of Maynard Keynes and Bogle on the subject of share prices).

Many years ago, I came across something called the 'Vice Fund', a fund that invested in tobacco, alcohol, and guns. They had some numbers that showed that they tended to do really well when the overall market went down, and have slightly worse returns than average when the market was doing well.

If I could find them again, I'd probably invest...

#RFKJr to link #Tylenol use in pregnancy to autism

Tylenol is the just about safest drug in the world

Health Secy RFKJr plans to announce that use of Kenvue's popular over-the-counter pain medication Tylenol in pregnant women is potentially linked to #autism, WSJ reported on Friday, citing people familiar with the matter, WITHOUT including #EVIDENCE for the claims.

#RFKJr, in a report, will also claim a medicine derived from #folate called folinic acid can be used to treat symptoms of #autism in some people, the WSJ reported. [guessing he owns #stock in whatever company makes it]

#Shares of #Kenvue fell 14% after the report [because people are crazy]. #Tylenol, whose active ingredient is #acetaminophen, is a very safe widely used pain reliever, including by pregnant women.
