Cool, I think you missed my point, though. I personally do not want to have a penny invested in Facebook/Google/Amazon. I do not care about the gains or losses or the number of people that love to use their apps/services.

Money isn't everything.

There are ethical investing firms, and they offer ethical investing mutual funds and ETFs -- my wife holds a few of their offerings. Their performance isn't amazing.

You're also not obligated to buy an ETF -- you can create your own "index" without much effort. The OP's $80k would let them do that, were they so inclined. Maybe not all 500 in the S&P, but a lot.

Eh, after seeing the pile of dogshit that VCs are pushing on the public markets lately, I've lost a lot of faith in publicly traded companies.
