Her goal may be noble but I find it strange that a financial article provides no quantitative measure. How do her reults compare to traditional benchmarks. She may have out performed the investments that were recomended to her but what were they, Enron? This would be very easy for someone to do or recreate. If her financial achievements were as the article claims she has really missed an opportunity to persuade people, which is what the goal of the article is. As the expression goes, "Money Talks ........"
The article states that she worked for the environmental group Greenpeace. This does not help her credibility with most people who read financial articles which puts an additional burden upon her to support her claims.

What do you have against greenpeace, 2Labs?
