I called our ethics department and they cleared me. <br /><br />Unethical lines (among others): can't take a gift from a customer or vendor (and I'm not in a position that that is offered anyway). Can't be on a board of a competitor (ditto). Can't buy a house that is being sold by the company - Wells Fargo real estate owned property. <br /><br />I also asked about investing in Prosper loans because same guy challenged me on that. Ethics said OK with that too. <br /><br />I'm no longer in Prosper loans but I do have stock in US Bank and JP Morgan Chase (and 2 other smaller banks)Jim Peethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07649414726939918803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26981669.post-29012775766720467332012-12-20T15:21:31.975-06:002012-12-20T15:21:31.975-06:00I really need to talk with our legal department to...I really need to talk with our legal department to see what food companies I can invest in.
