So... I was thinking. If you do receive a stimulus check of $1200 or any amount really, if you are comfortable without it, how about investing it in a stock that you like. That would bolster the company, and face it, most are in trouble. This would ultimately pay you a dividend down the road so both the company and you win. Without companies, there are no jobs and without jobs, we become Venezuela.

After 9/11 When Wall Street took a big hit, there was a campaign in New York to buy “just one share” to start rebuilding. I bought one share of Walt Disney stock and to this day I do receive a quarterly dividend. It’s not much, change really, but it was something to show support after a really tough time. We are facing a horribly rough time head of us.
