Do you consider your own portfolio when you are deciding where to spend money?
For example, I've been a long term holder of Exxon and constantly find myself filling up my gas tank at one of their stations when there is a BP and a Shell station less than a mile away from my house. The same can be said for someone who chooses CVS over Walgreen, Home Depot over Lowes, etc. because they own one stock over the other. In reality it probably doesn't affect the bottom line but in my mind I'm of the opinion if I'm going to spend money, it should be for something that I've invested in.
I'm wondering who all thinks the same way?
