Proud, but only one?

What's the calculus there, and why proud — if you don't mind me asking?



It was a slightly tongue in cheek comment :) You need to own at least 1 share to be eligible for the annual gift box, so I own one share. I think it's a solid dividend stock if you're into that kind of thing, but I'm not. I try not to have too much of my portfolio invested in individual stocks, or do anything else that would make the late Jack Bogle disappointed in me.


> he preached investment over speculation, long-term patience over short-term action, and reducing broker fees as much as possible. The ideal investment vehicle for Bogle was a low-cost index fund held over a lifetime with dividends reinvested and purchased with dollar cost averaging.

Wow, pretty cool guy for a banker — wonder what his "catch" was!
