Just some "for the way you think" about investing -- or when you're shopping for places to put your money.......
REMEMBER PLEASE!!! I'm not saying buy this or buy that -- I'm using this as an EXAMPLE --- a way to think... it can apply to almost every investment. You can buy Apple -- if you think their business is good - or you can buy one of their suppliers?
Let's pick on Amazon for an "instance"
Amazon is hugely pricey.... dang near $1200 per share (I personally wish they'd split 4 for 1).... and this simple fact closes many investors out. They think - WTF - I can only buy 2 shares with my $2500 deposit this quarter. And they're right!!
But --- start to think about the beneficiaries or ancillary businesses that benefit from THEM....
Box sellars?? Amazon buys a lot of boxes --- way more than retail stores do - they buy bags... Everything Amazon sells gets shipped in a box....
UPS ??
FED-ED??
Oh yeah...... As Amazon grows -- won't these two favored shippers get their fare share?
I just read this:
"Good news for FedEx and UPS: People just opened $90 billion in unwanted gifts".
UNQUOTE: Somebody is paying to ship those back aren't they? UPS and FED-EX get it going both ways? And how much of those returns generate another purchase.... another box.... another shipment....
Think of it like car companies having good sales --- every car/truck comes with 4 tires.... LOL
Merry Xmas you Deplorables
