Also, it's interesting to see how different managers run different companies. I don't just invest in companies whose product lines I appreciate. This one would take up a whole post, so I'll add it to my drafts for another day. I’m always interested in new products, new companies, or new ways of doing the same old things, too.

Humans are by nature curious animals, often to our detriment, but sometimes to our benefit. By studying companies we, or at least I, find my self interested in products more so than the companies themselves. In examining products I get a glimpse into "how things work". There are several shows on television which do the same therefore it must have some "entertainment" value. I find when researching companies and their products I am constantly fascinated with the ingenuity of man. I believe in the adage of "buying what you know" and therefore when looking at stocks I usually invest in companies where I believe in their product line. If I don't know anything about a product, or line, I usually steer clear. In summation I buy what allows me to be a proud "owner" or a product line I believe in. If I don't believe or like the products I don't invest. My interest in the market has always seemed to be the fact that it provides me with a means of discovery.
