Double TAP

Tweet

It may be a weird way to think about it but, it is one of the ways my mind just thinks about money. When I am invested in things. I like to drink beer. I am sure I have mentioned that a time or two here and there. Of course I have. And my preferred beer, although I like many brands and styles, is Miller Lite. I own stock in Molson Coors (Ticker Symbol: TAP) which pays an annual 2.6% yield. So, every time I buy some, I am of course contributing to my stock in a small way. But I also mostly buy it at Walmart, where it happens to be cheaper than anywhere else. And, I also happen to own stock in Walmart (Ticker Symbol: WMT), which only pays a paltry 1.37%. But man, it's a cash cow which is why I own it and own so much of it. But the way my mind sees it is when I buy Miller Lite from Walmart, I am contributing to BOTH stocks. Which to my mind is a double "tap." Both Molson Coors and Walmart make a profit, and because I own them both... So do I.
