In case you felt the sudden urge to do evil and make money at the same time, there's now an investment fund for you. Unlike ethical funds that do not invest in companies that produce alcohol, tobacco and weaponry, this fund invests ONLY in alcohol, tobacco, defence contractors and casinos. It would be really amusing if this were a satire, but it isn't.

So it's only mildly amusing.

I thought I already invested with them.

Oh, wait, that was the American Large Cap fund.

Investing in tobacco, alcohol, weapons and gambling? That would be income tax.

Except that its private-sector version is called "a license to print money."
