So, I'm new to this whole rotten world of stock markets, but I would like to invest in progressive minded companies. Any suggestions for promising companies to invest a little cash in?
THx!

1. No, but I have a recommendation for a website about SRI |

Socially Responsible Investing. Lots of good reading there to start.

want profit, regardless...If you are against capitalism, don't invest your money in corporations...It's all about the bottom line, even for so-called progressive investments.

3. Don't (simply) invest your heart |

Be very careful and shrewd, or you're going to lose your shirt. It's insufficient to pick a progressive company and buy into it. You might want to simpy establish some ground rules first--no defense, no tobacco--and then buy into what remains purely analytically.
Also, consider socially conscious funds. If you're a concerned novice, that might be the best bet.
