Getting Paid for my Christmas Dinner

Tweet

Okay. Not really. But that's sometimes how my mind kind of works. I own stock in Walmart, and we will have our Christmas party, or gathering, or celebration, or whatever you want to call it, on the 10th of January. That's when the entire fam can get together, and my wife and I are hosting at our place as we usually do for this holiday. I have to get a few ingredients to make this year's dinner, which will be a Cantonese style marinated pork butt roast served with hot, white, Jasmine rice. Granted, we will have some other goodies and sides of course. I'm a little short on honey, so that goes on the list. I want to use red food coloring for the marinade since we have guests, and it needs to look like Cantonese pork, which is red. I will get everything I need at Walmart, and I guess, in a way, the way I see it, that will add to Walmart's bottom line and help to fuel my future dividends. It's win, win right? Not to mention, my Walmart position is currently up around 93%. I have not sold a single share and have no intention to. I think Walmart still has lots of upside, and so it's a stock worth continuing to hold. Interestingly enough, I also own Amazon, and it's an amazing company and an amazingly profitable stock, but it's only up 49% in my portfolio. Go figure.
