Totally agree, and that advantage of the information is an edge, or a crime, depending on how you use it, fro “Humans are very emotional creatures, and we make a lot of big decisions based on our emotions. A lot of those decisions usually have to do with money.”
Humans vs. Stock Market, the greatest battle that never ends. Market cycles bring a lot of emotions to investing. Let’s breakdown why avoiding emotions while investing will benefit you.
Yeah, I see why it could be called noble, rather than ethical… “Ethical investing, or ESG, has been a buzzword on the edges of the investment industry for decades… Do we all need to be wary of greenwashing and cynical grabs for assets? In this video, Laura Suter explains all.” Maybe it’s not as sexy as it sounds. (?)
Having an investment version of the philanthropy awards would be a good thing, and could be presented to the public better, I agree. But I wonder how many people realise they have never even heard of the biggest giver on the list you linked to:
Jamsetji Tata $102.4 billion Education, healthcare
Bill Gates $75.8 billion Healthcare, extreme poverty, education, access to information technology
Warren Buffett $32.1 billion Healthcare, education, AIDS-prevention, sanitation
George Soros $32 billion Healthcare, anti-fascist publications, human rights, economic, legal, and social reform
These philanthropist investor winners are just presented as lists, it should be a top-10 countdown every week like the music charts was on tv. Make them heroes, not just names and invite them to private events. How is the world to know if Bill Gates or Jeff Bezos do the most for the world with money they have made from it? Respect to the winners, whoever they are though.
Could go either way though. An often repeated mistake is PAYING TOO MUCH attention to new information. According to WealthDesk

And “lack of information”, as discussed here https://youtu.be/2q1M1H8a9FA?t=290
cool video, love khan – “when your neighbor loses his job it’s a recession – when you lose your job, it’s a depression.”
Top 10 philanthropists are celebrated in jazzy ways. If giving is rewarded by God, then more power to them.

An ‘Ethical’ award exists already and the UK event is coming up soon. Not sure if noble is the right word, but I like the idea.
one of the great ideas that have come out of capitalistic countries over the last 30 years. imho.
sounds good, how do we get wealthy folk to do it though?
Some space companies interested in asteroid mining are already crowdfunding. Maybe they could use this idea!
Here is how it could work – though you would need someone to organise the funding bit
