So I felt like Warren Buffett for a while today. I drank a CocaCola and realized that it actually brings me several hundred dollars a year in dividends in addition to tasting pretty good. And that got me thinking - do you use the product of a company whose stock you own? And do you have a stock that you bought as a heartland because of the product? For me, it's like this with $AAPL

MW

Definitely $AAPL $MSFT then probably $INTC.

DL

Daddy 😁

DL

And they're downright heartbreaking for you. Or is it that you "just use them"?

YE

I don't want to be a hater here, but seeing how many $AAPL fans/shareholders there are, I wonder, given the prices of their products, if those shares have made you any money since you left them in the store?;)

DL

No way 😂

MD

Definitely also $AAPL, sometimes $DIS then Coinbase, (but I want to get rid of that one), then $GOOG

BG

Definitely $AAPL like others here, you need to see and feel the product too when the opportunity is there :D same with $MSFT for example.

BC

For me, definitely $AAPL, $MSFT, $GOOGL, $KO, but there will be more.

AA

We're in the same boat with $AAPL. I don't drink Coke on a daily basis, but when I do, I'm aware of it, like with $MCD.

RR

For me, it's mostly Volkswagen. 👍

DL

Hmmm... I'd like to buy shares in, say, Porsche... but I guess it wouldn't be valid then :D

JB

Definitely Apple. Well, if I had the spare money for it, it would be Nio 😄

YE

It is much better not to buy any products of the companies I co-own and then I will have more money to increase my share;)

DL

Look, I'm an investor too, so I get it. On the other hand, a pocketful in the grave won't do us any good.)

DV

hey I used to have that with $AAPL but I don't hold it anymore and the biggest heartland stocks are CEZ, Elm Company and DEWA ♥

DL

I didn't even know those... what kind of product did you get from them?

DD

ČEZ electricity:D Microsoft, Disney, sometimes I take an Uber ride or have a CoCocaCola. There will probably be more :)

DL

I never thought of electricity.. and I rarely realize how much I enjoy the product... :D

OP

Oh, that's right! $TSLA

DL

I didn't expect anything else :D
