Do your investments influence your shopping habits?

My company pension owns my local upmarket shopping centre. I do think about it every time I go in there, but I certainly don't see it as reason to spend money there. I did buy a mug from John Lewis the other day, and one day I may calculate the notional proportion of a 1p coin that will end up being returned to me in my future pension via the rent that JL paid for the store this year. I wonder if you'd even be able to see it with an electron microscope?

Yes, If I am using and like a certain companies products I do a little research and consider investing.

Been in and out, of Tesco ,Next, Marks & Spencer and Morrisons.

Holding BP, Legal & General, and Greggs and use their products regularly.

Recently purchased Aston Martin and intend to purchase when I win the lottery!

I own a 1/4 of a billionth % of SSE, and am also a customer :think:

I think I own a bit more than that (thank you sharesave scheme) but far too expensive for me. I also moved my mum from them when she moved!


So, no.
