Would you, as investor, buy shares in the corporations reputed to have "unscrupulous, amoral" attitude?

Hypothesis: if you were a day trader/investor/stockbroker and the prediction for Halliburton, KBR, Wal-Mart, AT&T, GE, Lockheed Martin, Boeing, Raytheon and Monsanto stock bound to rise percentage 150% will be fulfilled, would you buy the hundreds or thousands of shares or avoid the companies in question due to ethical qualm? Is ethical investing completely irrelevant because it interferes with the express purpose of making profit as a matter of political statement in staunch far right-wing laissez-faire capitalist outlook?

Frankly if I knew a stock were going to go up 150% I would invest in it... You can actually make considerably more than a 150% profit on a move like that if you have an options account... Of course situations where you get guaranteed 150% returns don't show up much in real life...

Personally I can respect anyone who chooses not to invest in a particular company for moral reasons. Personally I would be leery of investing in a company that appeared to have dishonest management (though not for moral reasons so much as because the people who run such companies may seek to screw over their stockholders...) I can't recall ever not investing in a company for purely moral reasons, though I suppose I could think of situations where I'd be reluctant to do so...

Also personally I doubt that ethical investing has much effect on either the share price of a company or the actions of its management--there will always be people who won't have a problem with a particular company or just won't care.
