This forecast is posted on our web site at least one month earlier in our premium channels for WSNW subscribers.

While the internal Stock Market astrology, as in 2003, is mixed, the external risk potential is horrific!
Short term, If you were unhappy about markets March 2000 and September 2001, don't expect to be singing in the rain JUNE 2004!

Long Term, we consider the long term economic fall out of the US Iraq invasion quite severe and believe that global markets can retest or break their 2003 lows. It is only a matter of time before more and more savvy international investors move more of  their money out of the US stock market and invest in countries that they feel are in better shape than the US.

Stock selection continues to be paramount and count more than sector rotation; it  is as important as market timing!
Given that the traditional "Buy and Hold" investing strategy will continue to under perform, we again recommend trading 50%  in "investing" portfolios in 2004. TAKE/PROTECT PROFITS CONTINUOUSLY.
For 3 years we warned:
LEARN THE MARKET LESSONS OF 2000, BECAUSE THEY WILL REPEAT IN 2003 and 2004.
Now that the forecast is true, come June 2004, many investors will be berating themselves with why didn't they sell when the Nasdaq was above 2000? Why didn't they learn their lesson in March 2000?

BOTTOM LINE:
DON'T BUY AND HOLD. THE STOCK MARKET IS LIVING ON BORROWED TIME. I ADVISE KEEPING A BALANCED AND DIVERSIFIED PORTFOLIO, ELIMINATE ALL MARGIN DEBT AND BE CASH RICH.

MARKET NEUTRAL INVESTING FOR EXPERIENCED INVESTORS
In order to sleep soundly at night, I recommend a Hedge Fund style Market Neutral Strategy in 2004. This involves both buying under valued and selling short overvalued stocks.  This is best done in industry pairs as it involves the smallest risk, although the most work. Alternately, stocks can be hedged against their individual sector membership or the overall market: Buying a stock and selling its sector or broad market index, or Selling a stock and buying its sector index or the overall market.
If you are bullish, I would recommend a long/short ratio of 2-1.
If you incline more to the bearish camp as I do, then a long/short ratio of 1-1 and 1-2 (depending on the short term astrological trend) is preferable.

There are five primary celestial and terrestrial phenomena affecting world events and global markets in H2 2004:

• October 13, 2004 Solar Eclipse;  Total Lunar Eclipse October 28, 2004,
• Saturn in Cancer and Uranus in Pisces,
  
• The World War on Terror and Iraq,
• 10 countries joining the EU May 2004,
• The 2004 US Presidential Election.

Three Big Investing Ideas

1. US DOLLAR  REMAINS UNDER PRESSURE IN 2004     
Will the dollar stabilize, weaken or strengthen going forward? Short term, US dollar has strengthened since falling over 40% against the Euro since late 2001 when we began to forecast a major Dollar reversal. Unfortunately, for Americans, this is an intermediate, but not long term trend reversal. Before year end, with US and Euro interest rates closer to par, the dollar will have resumed its secular decline. We therefore continue to recommend that All investors need to diversify their investments globally. Many blue chip foreign investments are more attractive with stock prices cheaper by most valuation measures: price to earnings, price to sales and price to book.  US interest rates will rise not only for future inflationary worries but also due to a lower US dollar. Our US dollar Index Fair Value is 88 with .85 to .82 again possible in H2 2004. One lurking possibility is that it may become necessary for the FED to defend the US dollar or that outright intervention from the US Treasury in the currency markets may be necessary. However, Spring and Summer 2004, we could also see the US dollar as high as .93 to .95. If so, this would be a MAJOR sell signal for us. This will reverse either if the US changes its economic policies (unlikely before November), or the US dollar is trading below .85 with stability, i.e. .80-82 support seems likely to hold.
Our recommended US equity portfolios international stock allocation remains 50%.      

2. A WAR TIME ECONOMY: GUNS AND CAVIAR REDUX


• Bush's Progressed Mars (War) was increasingly prominent in 2003 = an expansion on the war on terror. Saturn is also transiting the US Sun and partile (exact) in June 2004. As Saturn represents "reality", paying the piper is not likely to be overly favorable for US markets, given the US budget deficit from a weakened economy, the War on Terrorism and Tax Cuts. The violence level on the War on Terrorism, unfortunately, is likely to increase in 2004 given prominent Mars aspects in both Bush's and the USA horoscopes. It is possible this could be US global trade war(s), instead of a new/expanded hot shooting war on terror then. Homeland (Cancer) security (Saturn), defense (Mars) and insurance will garner even more public attention. As this will take money away from more productive areas of the economy, we are far from bullish.
• Fears of deflation and interest rate cuts left US and UK government bond yields at multi-decade lows in H1 2004.  Both suffer, however, from a  sharp increase in supply, the former more so due to massive tax cuts underway as well as military adventures and increased defense spending. Now we are seeing the beginning of a very nasty bear market in bonds that we forecast.   TIPS (Treasury Inflation Protection Securities) can offer some protection.
  

3. THE END OF THE HOUSING BUBBLE

Housing, along with Commodities and physicals can be viewed as an Asset Class along with Stocks, Bonds and Cash by many investors. Positively, there is the enjoyment factor: most woman would prefer to have an additional 100K in a home than in a portfolio. Housing also appeals to safety concerns in times of trouble, but home buying is cooling. Record low interest rates have ended. Other negatives include the fact that the ratio of home prices to home rental rates is too high, while the value of individually owned residential property to disposable income is at a 50 year high. Classically, Real Estate weakens 12-24 months after a market collapse. Thanks to the Fed, this did not happen when individual stock prices returned to pre-1998 pricing.  I still see the probability of a housing drop of 10-35% [depending on location and individual property] over the next 6-18 months. Still, Saturn will be in Cancer (Housing) for another year. Let's not forget what Saturn in Gemini (Communications) did to Telecoms. Hopefully it will NOT be that bad: Favorable tax treatment, along with continuing demand, could make this a slowing market with a soft instead of hard landing before July 2005 when Saturn leaves Cancer [home] for Leo. Either way, buyers will benefit more than sellers.


In 2004, property prices in Australia, the US, the UK, Ireland, the Netherlands and Spain are at very high levels. They have risen exorbitantly in relation to average income. It could be said [The Economist] that house prices are over-valued by up to 33% as low interest rates have allowed more and more people to borrow large amounts to buy a home or investment property. The Bank for International Settlements (BIS) is concerned about this situation. Its researchers have found that historically, the bigger the boom in house prices, the bigger the bust. Central bankers are as likely to be concerned about this as financial astrologers. Saturn in Cancer (home) suggests it is more than past time to begin (accelerate) reducing exposure to the still booming housing sector.

Global Stock markets in 2004 will be determined largely by answering three questions:
Q1:  How will Bush's military adventures affect Oil prices and help or hinder the War on Terror?
Q2:  Who will be helped/hurt the most by the lower/higher US dollar?
Q3:  What P/e's will investors be willing to pay for modest corporate growth?

WILD CARDS: Range from FASB rules to expensing options (strong NASDAQ hit 44% reduction) to allowing partial privatization of social security (a bond hit/market bonus).

 HOW HIGH IS UP? HOW LOW IS LOW?

VALUE WITH GROWTH
Capital Preservation is again most important for global investors; hence, we stress caution. We no longer recommend an investment strategy paradigm of  BUY and HOLD Growth stocks with at least reasonable valuations based on current and future profits. Market timing will be the key.

Classic "Buy and Hold" is passé: Stock picking, more than sector membership, will rule in 2004. Successful investing will depend on knowing: 
When all the good news has already been factored into the share price, at what price is the valuation just too high? 
When all the bad news has already been factored into the share price, at what price is the valuation too cheap?

Any and all investing profits need to be protected against future bear assaults in 2004. 
Trade more (50% of  portfolio) and take/protect profits at 10%-20% profit points for long term non-core holdings.

LEARN THE LESSONS OF 2000, THEY REPEATED IN 2003 AND 2004 WITH EXCESSIVE SPECULATION:
1) Buy carefully and when stock valuation becomes super frothy again, SELL.
2) Be careful about owning stocks that are “priced to perfection”, they can only disappoint.
3) It is NEVER “different this time.”
4) Ultimately, profits matter.        

The Horoscope is a MAP of TIME and PLACE - here is a brief overview of selected global markets:
Country risk is re-emerging as a corollary to anti-globalization forces.  Sophisticated investors today are rightly concerned about being overly invested in any one country or currency.

EUROPE - A global alternative to the US
On a global basis, Europe is cheaper and more reasonably valued than the US. We are buyers of Euro's 116 to 117.50 and sellers above 126. Our Fair value is currently 121.50.         

• HOLLAND - Market Out Perform Q3 2004.
• ENGLAND - The City will Out Perform Wall Street largely due to outperformance of the British Pound.
• LUXEMBOURG- Hold Safety:
• SWITZERLAND: The worst is over.
  
  
Note: WSNW subscribers can review our favorite S: Dow Jones Stoxx 50 stocks.             

NORTH AMERICA - Traders paradise

• S: CANADA - We correctly forecast Canada would no longer lead the G7 economies last year and downgraded it to market perform. The Loonie was no longer undervalued and this affected some of its export driven economy. In 2003, its economy was pummeled by SARS, the Iraqi war, the mad-cow scare, the Aug. 14 blackout, a stronger Loonie and weaker US economy at the beginning of the year. A strong loonie early 2004 hurt export-oriented industries such as forestry and manufacturing. Fortunately for Canada lovers such as yours truly, 2005 will be stellar for Canada beginning almost  immediately after the US presidential elections. In 2005, the loonie will approach .80.
  
  
• S: MEXICO - Mexico sends 90% of its exports to the United States and its fortunes are increasingly tied to its northern NAFTA neighbor. In 2004, I look to potential take over targets sporting reasonable valuations or companies that can compete in the US for the rising Hispanic consumer market share.  I hope its December 2003 record low currency and record high stock market (in pesos) is NOT the future of its northern neighbor.
• UNITED STATES - Still overvalued versus global counterparts. Our current Dow Fair Value is only 8400. Many former investor favorites will disappoint as investors sell rallies to "get even". US Bonds are by and large unattractive except for Treasury Inflation Protected Securities or a similar alternative I Bonds. The US Dollar remains a potential time bomb: It is no longer as safe a haven given budget deficits and the War on Terror. Positively, thanks to the weaker US dollar, intermediate term, select US exporters have out performed. Additionally, more American firms will become take over targets, e.g. Henkel buying Dial. Dial Given one can trade stocks here for 10-25% appreciation/depreciation a day/week, this remains TRADERS HEAVEN.
  

• S: JAPAN - As forecast, there has been a recovery in the Japanese economy and the Nikkei reached our 12,000+ price target.  Our mantra on JAPAN INC. is "You have Japanese products in your home; why don't you have Japanese stocks in your portfolio?"  Accordingly, we would rebuy Japan after any strong global stock market drop.
• HONG KONG/CHINA - Capital continues to pour into China to take advantage of low productions costs. In
  terms of potential, there is no country like China with its 1.3 billion people and high annual rate of economic growth. This has been the well spun story that everyone and his grandmother has been buying. However, there is increasing concern that China may be overheating. That and the 2008 Olympics not withstanding, too many of the mainland's industries are a mess and its stock market is overloaded with poor quality state owned companies. Until this is rightly addressed and Chinese leaders make dramatic moves to reform the country's financial system, we continue to recommend great caution. At the minimum, I would expect the merger of A and B share markets and most important, the move to float the Chinese currency.  On the plus side, sooner, rather than later, the Yuan is going UP, whether a free float or just a one time appreciation. China will be the third largest economy in the world in 2020, after the US and Euroland. Yet its public debt is over 100% GDP if you include "off-balance sheet" accounting. Non-performing loans held by China's banks are 25% to 50% of GDP making China highly vulnerable to an economic downturn. China's banks have 4.14 trillion  Yuan ($500 billion) of bad loans, or more than the total at lenders in Japan, whose $4.6 trillion economy is almost four times larger. Nursing the banking sector back to health before foreign banks get unfettered access to China in 2006 is critical to maintaining China's rapid economic growth. I prefer to wait and buy AFTER the collapse of a big bank or two, given my predilection for sound sleep. Hong Kong is not particularly attractive, especially as fundamentals often seem to matter little on the Hang Seng, and its stock market acts closer to legalized gambling than any other major one in the world. On the bright side, Hong Kong benefits from a spill-over effect from Chinese mainland's trade. As for buying directly on the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock exchanges good luck or should I say "good connections matter! Despite a far better economy, we also remain reluctant to invest in Taiwanese markets unless compensated for potential "war like" conditions in the future.
• KOREA - We continue to like blue chip giants Korea Telecomm (KT), LG Electronics and Samsung Electronics (SSNGF). We expect a MAJOR peace dividend in 2004/2005.  Like Taiwan, this is a largely a bet on the US technology sector.
• INDIA - The story is now much bigger than just computer and pharmaceutical blue chips. Growth of 7.5%+ is likely to make India the world's fastest growing economy after China. Global investors have finally noticed the giant sucking sound of thousands of US and UK jobs being outsourced to India. Goldman Sachs predicts that India will be the third largest economy by 2035.  IIF or IFN are two closed end India funds, and the best way for US investors to invest (not trade) in India. As the May election could be a setback for Indian reformers, fresh investments should have a multi-year horizon. 
• AUSTRALASIA - We remain mildly bullish for H2 2004 given our forecast for a stronger Aussie $ and maintain our "out perform" rating country rating. Note: The A$ reached our .80 target early in 2004 and we recommend selling. Now hovering below .70, we strongly recommend rebuying to .76/.80 and hold cash at 5% interest.
• OTHER TIGERS AND DRAGONS - After SARS in 2003 and future terrorism threats, we continue to avoid for the time being any sizable investments in Thailand, Malaysia, and especially Indonesia and the Philippines.
  

OTHER- Opportunities for savvy investors ONLY .

• BERMUDA - Bank of Bermuda (BBDA), LOM (Holdings) [LOM:BH] and RenaissanceRe Holdings (RNR)
  
• S: ISRAEL - Israel's technology sector is desirable given its highly skilled labor force and favorable tax treatment. Unfortunately, it is best to buy only when there is blood in the streets, which happens all too often. Happily, we see the possibility that this market could enjoy another tradable peace dividend rally ahead.
• S: LATIN AMERICA - Accumulate on weakness only for appropriate multi-year long term investment portfolios and longer term for multi-national corporate investments.

We continue to advise caution for emerging markets unless you monitor them very closely.  They "behave like rich-country ones on speed, both up and down". It is very important for investors to distinguish between high and low risk countries. In addition to the obvious political and currency risk, many are too loosely regulated.
Current AFUND ratings on the BIG Four Emerging Markets are: Brazil (Watch), China (Wait), India (Hold) and Russia (Watch). Later in 2004, the global investing landscape may be dramatically different.

WSNW subscribers should periodically review our S: AFUND GLOBAL 12 - for our favorite global blue chip long term investments.

• Public enthusiasm to spend, spend, spend will be subdued as the US job market continues to go through structural changes and more better paying jobs are exported to China and India. Consumers will be in a financially weak position with little pent-up demand. 2004 will bring a rise in interest rates that is likely to dampen consumer willingness to spend and borrow.  If/when the US housing markets corrects, the question will be whether the US enters a recession or worse. The bottom line: Our advice to individuals and businesses is to increase cash flow (profits/income - expenses) by 10% next year.
  

LONGER TERM

2005: The fifth year of each decade has been positive since 1881.  We see no reason at this moment to disagree with history.

March 29, 2006 is a Total Solar Eclipse. In 2006 Jupiter squares Neptune 1/28, 3/16 and 9/24. Also we have the first pass of Saturn opposite Neptune 8/31 and again in 2007 (2/28) and 6/25).

2007: Jupiter Square Uranus: 1/22, 5/11, 10/9 and then in December 2007: Jupiter will be conjunct Pluto. Two Total Lunar Eclipses March 03 and August 28, 2007.

The low point of the nodal cycle is reached in 2008, when Pluto ingresses into Capricorn with one Total Lunar Eclipse February 21 and a Total Solar Eclipse over China 8/1/2008. 

Jupiter conjunct Neptune in 2009: 5/27, 7/10, 12/21. Total Solar Eclipse July 22, 2009 (India/China).

The next epic shifting planetary configurations in 2010/2011 of Jupiter conjunct Uranus AND Jupiter opposition Saturn as well as Uranus entering Aires and Neptune enters Pisces and a total Solar Eclipse July 11, 2010 and a Total Lunar Eclipse December 21, 2010.  ALL precede the December 21, 2012 Mayan end date.
Also we have 7, yes 7 Uranus-Pluto squares from June 24, 2012-March 17, 2015--Wowie! Some of the more extreme forecasts made for this time period include alien visitations/invasions, catastrophic asteroid impacts, violent volcanic eruptions and massive earthquakes. We will give our views here no later than 12/21/2009.

• Aging, Biotechs, S: Healthcare 
• Employment & Career Development
• Beauty: Cosmetics, Fashion & Jewelry 
• Homeland Security
  
• Insurance & Law
  
• Life Essentials: Energy, Food, Shelter and Water 
• Nanotechnology 
• S: Precious Metals
  

• US health care expenses will total $1.5 trillion this year, or more than 14% of the total U.S. economy. This is more than Americans spend on food, housing, or automobiles. We expect major political fireworks into the 2004 election over this issue and we are downgrading this sector ahead of Jupiter's exit from Virgo in late September 2004. Uranus re-entered Pisces in late December 2003, which is helping Biotechs. The best biotechs to buy are those with revenue generating products increasingly close to launch. The easiest way to play this sector is to either market the market leader Amgen (AMGN) or to buy a basket of 20 with the Merrill Lynch Biotech HOLDRS (BBH). Long term investors should look for companies that will benefit from the increasing baby boomer aging population: a baby boomer becomes a senior citizen every 7.5 seconds!  Healthcare, especially for retiring babyboomers, will receive more attention and money as time goes by, e.g. Sunrise Assisted Living (SRZ) and Lifeline Systems (LIFE). These range from assisted living communities, to laboratory testing companies to companies that provide orthopedic care and dental products. Drug companies such as Novartis (NVS), but especially generic ones such as Israeli Teva Pharmaceutical (TEVA), the largest producer of generic drugs in the world , and India's generic drug makers Dr. Reddy's Laboratories (RDY) and RANBAXY LABS (RBXLF) will benefit. Perhaps most important, and certainly closer to my heart and soul are traditional SRI favorites such as Herbs, Natural Foods, Vitamins and Natural Healing Therapies which will continue to grow market share as Cultural Creatives age. Personal care companies Church and Dwight (CWD) and global giant Unilever (UL) are safe and boring buys, but along with many natural food companies shares, are expensive, e.g. Hain Celestial (HAIN), NBTY (NTY) and Whole Foods (WFMI). They should be considered when their share pricing again intersects with reality as demand for health foods and sustainable practices as part of a healthy lifestyle will fortunately continue to grow.  Alternately, small caps such as Afund client Health Sciences (HESG), while risky, are cheaper and may be worth a look.
• More employers are turning to temps. We will not comment on the obvious longer term social implications of lower wages, lesser benefits and job security. Instead, I will note how this trend is likely to benefit employment agencies.
  While Jupiter is in Virgo, temporary employment agencies plus vocational training schools stand to benefit.  Four favorites to watch and trading buy after weakness are: Manpower (Man) and Teamstaff (TSTF) plus Apollo (APOL), Career Education (CECO) and ITT Education (ESI).
• Jupiter moving into Libra will bring investing in art back into fashion as an alternative to the equity markets. This will obviously help revive the fortunes of the likes of Sotheby’s (BID). We likewise give out perform rating to Ann Taylor Stores (ANN), Tiffany (TIF) and Shiseido (SSDOY).  Elizabeth Arden (RDEN), Helen of Troy (HELE),  British health and beauty retailer Boots (BOOT.L),  China small cap LJ International (JADE), and luxury French retailing giant LVMH may also out perform for the same astrological reasons..
  
• It is hard to find a more apt astrological translation for Saturn (security) in Cancer (Home) than homeland security. Being SRI inclined, there is not too much I wish to hold in this sector. Some possibilities include Kroll (KROL), London based Securior (LSE:SCR), Ceradyne (CRDN) manufacturer of lightweight-ceramic armor vests for military personnel and microcap Command Security Corporation (CMMD).
• Our favored financial sector for 2004 is Insurance over Banking and Brokerage, given our forecasts for both higher interest rates and the specter of a stock market decline. Since 911, more Americans see value in having insurance. Even though industry pricing power is beginning to wane, throughout the world, governments and private companies will also have to spend a lot more on insurance. Our four favorite North American insurers are: AFLAC (AFL), Allstate (ALL), Metropolitan Life ( MET) and SunLife (SLF). Our five favorite foreign insurers are Aegon (AEG), AXA, Legal & General Group (LGGNY), RenaissanceRe Holdings (RNR) and Swiss Re (SWCEF). Given that one astrological rulership of Libra is Law, the legal profession should prosper and remain a growth industry into 2005. One potential beneficiary is LECG (XPRT), which provides experts and consultants for trials and legislative lobbying.
  
• In future, we hope to see SRI favorite Fuel Cell, Solar and Wind companies as suitable intermediate term SRI  investments. One reasonable long term play seems to Fuel cell supplier Quantum TechnoTechnologies (QTWW) As for shelter, most of our money in this sector is long term invested in our client International Hi-Tech Industries.  The number three and fastest growing beverage is Water, which is forecast to grow 50% over the next five years. more than double in the past five years. Growth has been spectacular in a number of countries, with bottled water fast becoming the norm for in home and on the move hydration. Big Euro food groups, Dannone [DA] and Nestle [NSRGF], own the largest brands and  remain conservatively profitable. The demand for providing clean water and cleaning dirty water when that use is done is surging. German RWE and French SUEZ are serious global players, while American Stat Water (AWR), Pentair (PNR) and Aqua America (PSC) are good alternative domestic choices in conservative portfolios. Treatment stocks Calgon (CCC) and Ionics (ION) are safe long term holds.  
• The Nanotechnology Research and Development Act authorizes $3.7 billion in federal funds for nanotechnology, the science of building new prducts and devices by manipulating molecules and atoms. Today, most Nanotechnology investments are largely venture capital plays or early stage R & D developments. However, the hype will grow, if not the reality. The prefix "Nano" in a company name will have a similiar effect to the suffix ".com" last century.  
• The cheapest long term protection against a US Dollar decline is GOLD. Geopolitical uncertainty, war, global economic sluggishness and a weak U.S. dollar are usually good for gold companies. The major factor providing intermediate/long term support for gold is that a further decline in the US dollar is practically inevitable. However, as 2004 is a election year, don't be surprised if Gold is "surprisingly" weak at times. These are the times we like to buy. With gold under $380 in May, we still have a $425-$450 target rise possible by year end.  Just as IBM and GE are DOW bell weathers for DOW, so is Newmont (NEM) for gold in BIG money portfolios. FYI: Last century, it was ABX, when hedging wasn't such a dirty word. My favorite major is Placer Dome (PDG).

I like to begin with one or more of the following 4 criteria:

     1) Jupiter in Virgo until Q4 when Jupiter enters Libra.
    
Spring/Summer 2004's favorite strategy will be Market Neutral Hedging: Buying a strong stock while shorting an appropriate index (SPX or Nasdaq), or Pairs Trading - buying a strong company and selling a weak one in the same sector usually makes money whether the market moves up, down or sideways. Over the next few months, we will not so much be investing as doing short term trades such as shorting Nasdaq Internut-like fantasies.

1.  The US dollar will fall again, select Country I-Shares or Foreign Blue Chip companies to hedge:

• Canada (EWC): Accumulate late H2 2004.
  
• Japan (EWJ):  Honda (HMC), Shiseido (SSDOY), Sharp (SHCAY) and Sony (SNE).
• UK (EWU): Pound outperformance for Allied Domecq (AED), BP (BP), Cadbury Schweppes (CSG), HSBC (HBC) and International Power (IPR).
• Switzerland (EWL):  Novartis (NVS), Nestle (NSRGF), STM Microelectronics (STM) and SWISS RE (SWCEF).
  
• S: AFUND GLOBAL 12                              

BIOTECHNOLOGY: e.g. BBH and IBB or heavyweights Amgen (AMGN), Cephalon (CEPH) and Genentech (DNA) can be trading buys on strong pullbacks.  I prefer to invest in companies that have multiple products in clinical development.        
SUCCESSOR ENERGY: e.g. Vestas,and Gamesa. Watch: FuelCell Energy (FCEL), Hydrogenics (HYGS),  Intermagnetics General Corporation (IMGC), Mechanical Technology (MKTY) and Quantum Technologies (QTWW).
NANOTECHNOLOGY:  e.g. NNZ or Veeco Instruments (VECO) and FEI (FEIC).

6. SRI STOCKS 
Given the increasing risks to global sustainability, we believe there is a corresponding increasing need for increasing exposure to SRI stocks in one's long term investing portfolio.  One list to refer to annually for an initial stock screen is SustainableBusiness.com's annual list of the 20 World's Top Sustainable Stocks.  Another is to periodically check our Neptune Fund selections.

*7. AFUND CLIENTS
Business Astrologers know that the best way to predict the future is to create it.
With strong Disclaimers and with an informed but obviously biased view, I am doing my best to help create investor wealth for client companies we consult for including International High Tech Industries [IHITF], Health Sciences (HESG) and Karma (KRMA).
