Die 24.000er-Marke ist gefallen: Der DAX schloss am Freitag mit -0,6 % bei 23.902 Punkten. Nach einer kurzen Stabilisierung am Donnerstag setzten die deutschen Börsen damit ihren Abwärtstrend der Woche fort. Belastend wirkten vor allem die anhaltenden Sorgen über weitere Zinsschritte der US-Notenbank Fed, die Konjunkturängste schüren. Die aktuellen Inflationsdaten aus Deutschland zeigten kaum Wirkung. Gefragt waren hingegen erneut Rüstungstitel wie Rheinmetall. Bei den Unternehmen sorgte Gerresheimer für Schlagzeilen: Der Pharmaverpackungshersteller tauscht überraschend seinen CFO aus - die Aktie gewinnt 1,6 %. Schaeffler springt nach einer Hochstufung durch die Citigroup um 5,5 % nach oben. Über 15.000 Hotels ziehen gegen Booking.com vor Gericht und fordern Schadenersatz für erzwungene Preisbindungen in Höhe mehrerer Mrd. Euro. Paypal verspricht nach einer Sicherheits-Panne, Händler im Umfang von zweistelligen Mrd. Euro zu entschädigen. In den USA verliert Marvell nach schwachem Ausblick 17 %, während Autodesk um 12 % steigt. Dell erhöht zwar die Jahresziele, muss aber wegen schwacher Quartalsperspektiven 9,9 % abgeben. Caterpillar rechnet mit Zolllasten von bis zu 1,8 Mrd. Dollar - die Aktie rutscht 3 % ab.

Welcome to my podcast episode 158, published on August 22, 2025, titled “Sustainable Stock Picks for August 2025.” Before I begin, I would like to inform you that I'm adjusting the release schedule for these podcasts. So, for the foreseeable future, this podcast will be released on the last Friday of every month. Hence, my next podcast will be on September 26th. This podcast is presented by Investing for the Soul.

Remember that you can find a full transcript and links to content, including stock symbols and bonus material, on this episode's podcast page at investingforthesoul.com/podcasts. Also, a reminder. I do not evaluate any of the stocks or funds mentioned in these podcasts, and I don't receive any compensation from anyone covered in these podcasts. Furthermore, I will reveal any investments I have in the investments mentioned herein. I have a great crop of 12 articles for you in this podcast! ------------------------------------------------------------- 12 Best Ethical Companies to Invest in 2025 The first article is by someone who has been on this podcast a few times. His name is Faheem Tahir, and his article is titled 12 Best Ethical Companies to Invest in 2025. It's found on fool.com. The methodology underlying his stock selection is fascinating and impressive. Here's some of what he has to say about it and brief quotes on each of his picks. “To curate our list of the 12 Best Ethical Companies to Invest in 2025, we used Ethisphere's list of ‘World's Most Ethical Companies'. Ethisphere's list relies on its Ethics Quotient, which evaluates companies based on their ethics, compliance, governance, and corporate responsibility across multiple criteria. We then used Insider Monkey's database to assess hedge fund sentiment on the shortlisted stocks. Finally, we ranked the stocks in ascending order based on the number of hedge funds holding stakes in the respective stocks as of Q1 2025. Our research has shown that we can outperform the market by imitating the top stock picks of the best hedge funds. (See more details here.) 12. Autodesk, Inc.

It's by Emelia Fredlick and Leslie P. Norton and seen on morningstar.com. (Note: follow the article link on this podcast episode's webpage to all 83 companies that Morningstar considers the best 2025 sustainable companies.) The article also highlights the three companies below. Here are some brief quotes from the authors. “Morningstar's research finds that the biggest ESG risk is in energy and utilities, with the smallest in technology and real estate. Morningstar Sustainalytics measures this with the Sustainalytics ESG Risk Rating… We didn't include valuations for these (83) companies. Rather, we focused on the criteria that set a company up for success in the long term. So, while not all these names can be considered a buy today, this can serve as a great watchlist… Data Source: Morningstar Direct as of Jun. 30, 2025. 1) RELX RELX UK-based RELX is a global provider of business information, analytics, and decision-making tools for professionals across industries. The firm generates revenue mainly by creating and selling access to curated information databases, analytics, and journals. Morningstar senior analyst Rob Hales assigns RELX a wide Morningstar Economic Moat Rating… Sustainalytics gives RELX an ESG Risk Management Rating of Strong. 2) Danaher DHR Danaher focuses primarily on manufacturing scientific instruments and consumables in the life science and diagnostic industries. The firm aims to accelerate core growth at acquired companies, including Cytiva (formerly GE Biopharma), by making research and development and marketing-related investments… Sustainalytics gives Danaher an ESG Risk Management Rating of Strong. Morningstar senior analyst Julie Utterback assigns Danaher a wide economic moat. 3) Keysight Technologies KEYS Keysight Technologies is the leader in communications testing and measurement solutions. We think it has the strongest and broadest communications testing capabilities in the market across hardware, software, and services. Its wide moat rating, according to Morningstar senior analyst William Kerwin, owes to ‘intangible assets in the design of test and measurement equipment and software and switching costs for its portfolio of solutions.' Because of Keysight's strong ESG reporting and oversight of ESG issues, Sustainalytics gives the company an ESG Risk Management Rating of Strong.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- Top Wind Energy Stocks That Will Drive Long-Term Portfolio Growth The last article I'm covering is by Avisekh Bhattacharjee, for Zacks, and found on nasdaq.com. It's titled Top Wind Energy Stocks That Will Drive Long-Term Portfolio Growth.

BIO: Blair LaCorte is a dynamic executive with experience across entertainment, aviation, AI, aerospace, consulting, and more.STORY: Blair shares three catastrophic investment failures and the life-altering lessons that rewired his approach to wealth.LEARNING: Chase knowledge, not hype, and don't let greed hijack logic. Invest with friends only if you're willing to lose both. “The worst investment that you can make is to put your time into something that you don't enjoy or that you know is not going to work out.”Blair LaCorte Guest profileBlair LaCorte is a dynamic executive with experience across entertainment, aviation, AI, aerospace, consulting, and more. He has held CEO roles at companies such as PRG, XOJET, and Autodesk, and led startups to successful IPOs. Currently, he's training as an astronaut for Virgin Galactic and is Vice Chairman at the Buck Institute.Worst investment everFresh out of college at 22, Blair met a smooth-talking investor who flaunted his “lifetime monthly checks” from an oil well. Blinded by dollar signs and zero industry knowledge, he poured his savings into a single well.Blair ignored basic due diligence, diversification, and warnings about low-quality reserves. It was all about greed. He had seen someone make money where they got paid every month for the rest of their life, as long as the well lasted.The greed kept him in and kept him investing in the well. At the end of the day, the oil was of below-average quality and was not as much as they thought it would be. Blair's ignorance caused him a 100% loss. The well underperformed, and his greed trapped him in a sinking ship. Blair even commissioned a plaque to memorialize his shame—a daily reminder that “easy money” is a predator in disguise.Burning $200k and a friendshipAfter Blair's first IPO success in 1999, his roommate pitched him on Coffee.com—a visionary play on single-origin beans (decades before it became trendy). Blair invested early, then panicked as losses mounted. When the roommate begged for more capital, he refused because he did not think it would succeed, but guilt kept him from cutting ties.After a while, the startup imploded. Worse? Blair's friend never spoke to him again. He learned the hard truth from this unwise investment: mixing money with friendship is financial suicide.The $59.50 ego taxAt the peak of the dot-com boom, Blair had just scored a top-tier IPO. His broker urgently called and advised him to sell immediately at $59.50 as he believed the boom would not last. But pride convinced him that the broker was just chasing commissions.Blair held stubbornly as the stock bled out to $2. He lost $570,000 in vaporized gains. Blair's ego had bet against reality, and reality won.Lessons learnedChase knowledge, not hype, and don't let greed hijack logic. If you don't understand how the money is made, you're the exit strategy for someone else.Friends + money = atomic risk. Invest with friends only if you're willing to lose both on the same day.Pride is the silent portfolio killer. The market doesn't care about your ego, and exit signals don't negotiate.Your time is your ultimate currency. Grinding your years into a dying venture to ‘prove a point' is the costliest investment of all.Andrew's takeawaysMacro trumps micro. Brilliant ideas fail if they're too early or too late. Always ask: “Is the world ready for this?”Preserve capital like your life depends on it. A young you can risk time; an older you must protect...

​In this episode of Flanigan's Eco-Logic, Ted interviews Susan Gladwin. She's just finished a 2.5 year role in the U.S. Department of Energy's Loan Programs Office (LPO). The office, under the leadership of Jigar Shah, had an amplified mandate to foster innovative companies launching energy innovations. The Inflation Reduction Act boosted the LPO's budget from $40 billion to $400 billion making it the world's largest green bank.Jigar Shar brought Susan and other professionals to Washington to help with the LPO's surge of activity, what they all knew was a moment in time. Susan's role at the LPO was in supporting loans for Clean Energy Title 17 projects... focusing on virtual power plants. The key was helping companies on a "bridge to bankability," helping promising firms with solid technologies in their execution of business plans to scale up and seek conventional financing.Since leaving the LPO, Susan has been on assignment with Planetary Boundaries, a UK-based organization with leading, global sustainability professionals that has established nine principles/indicators of planetary well-being. Alas, there are still many red-light indicators, but a framework has been established that is helping countries in their policies and practices.In this episode, Susan shares aspects of her career and what motivates her: She was educated in science and information technology, worked for Apple on the launch of I-Tunes, and she developed AutoDesk's clean energy design integration. She's now moved up from Washington and is working globally, keen on applying her aspiration of accelerating the adoption of clean energy through capital and creativity.

As in any other industry, artificial intelligence is becoming a vital tool in construction, reforming how projects are designed, planned, and executed. It can help construction companies with critical challenges like skilled labor shortages by empowering junior employees with expert knowledge ingrained in digital tools. As the industry evolves, AI stands out as a practical, approachable tool that delivers efficiency and innovation. However, it's important to note that AI is not a ‘know-all' but rather a tool that continues to evolve and improve over time through user feedback and experience.  Meet the co-founder and CEO of Augmenta, Francesco Iorio, a company on a mission to empower the construction industry to design buildings more efficiently and at a lower cost, enabling a future of sustainable buildings, cities, and infrastructure. Before Augmenta, Iorio served as Director of Computational Science Research at Autodesk, where he led a group of researchers and engineers in exploring state-of-the-art computational science projects that pioneered modern generative design. Previously, Iorio was a solution architect for next-generation computing systems at the IBM High Performance Computing Group in Dublin, Ireland. In this role, Iorio focused on accelerating financial, engineering, and digital media workloads using hybrid high-performance computing platforms. HIGHLIGHTS [00:51] The role of AI-powered tools in mitigating the skilled labor shortage.  [04:15] The process of gathering knowledge for AI tools.  [08:44] Augmenta's approach to designing intelligence and constructability.  [13:31] The relationship between user skills and the effectiveness of AI tools.  [19:15] Removing the mystique around AI.  [21:55] Francesco's background in computer science and  [24:17] Sustainable building practices and reducing material waste.  [27:26] Democratizing building performance.  [29:30] Augmenta's role in the future of construction.  [35:13] Advice for construction leaders.    KEY TAKEAWAYS Position AI as an attractant for new talent.  See to it that skilled tradespeople actively review AI-generated outputs.  Consider AI as not ‘all knowing' but ‘students' who listen, learn, and adapt.  Encourage iterative use. Pose a challenge to the responses of AI.  Involve senior staff during the AI adoption phase and use the tool as a bridge for junior employees.  Point out the power of real user stories in breaking down skepticism.  Present AI as the next step in progress instead of a disruptive leap.    RESOURCES Connect with Francesco Iorio LinkedIn – linkedin.com/in/francescoiorio/  Website - augmenta.ai/  Toronto, Canada restaurant recommendation: terroni.com/    90-Day High-Performance Dashboard You can't afford to let your people drift.
