Here's a great clip from NBC Nightly News with a great story about an NFL player, Madieu Williams, and his efforts to help his countrymen in his native Sierra Leone - watch:

What do you think of this idea: terror-free investing - making certain that your investment dollars do not go to companies and banks that do business with countries that have state-supported terrorism or invest in them. Mark Langerman, CEO of First Allied Securities, believes there is a lucrative market for Americans seeking high returns on their money AND the assurance that they are not supporting terror activities through their investment dollars.

Post your comments here on the blog site. Look forward to the discussion.
