Make an impact with your investment portfolio In today's world it can feel like the politicians are not listening, and that your vote doesn't count.​ The good news is that your investments make a difference. Your money talks. Corporations are listening. With the speed and distribution of information and the rise of social media, voices are being heard. Corporations know that irresponsible behavior is noticed and will not be tolerated. Recently, Blackrock (one of the largest mutual fund companies) said that they would re-evaluate any company's inclusion in their funds if that company sold military grade weapons to the public. Within a month, two of the largest retailers of firearms had ceased the sale of assault rifles.
