I have been thinkibg aout it for a while now. I have been switch from buying individual stocks to buying funds. My funds have done better than my individual stocks. I just am not great at picking stocks. I do plan on holding onto some of them. The ones that I think are industry leaders and will be around for a long time. While I like Advance Auto Parts, they are not unique in their field. The are a several auto parts stores around here AutoZone, and Parts Plus. Of the auto parts places around here, I do like Advance Auto Parts the best.
I remember hearing a question about whether you thought a comapny would be around in 10 years. AAP Will probably be around, but who knows. I don’t have the faith in them that I might Target or eBay.
So I decided to sell the AAP stock today, and move the money into a fund. Maybe ILF?
I will be looking through my other stocks. I want to simplify my portfolio a bit.
My name is Mr.LaRue. I live in goldsboro N.C I always shop at advance. I always go to store 5991. Today I wanted to tell you about one of your employees.His name is Pat. He stepped up today running 2 computers &answering phones with no help.He helped out everyone in that store( about 20 people) He went way out of his way to make sure everyone was taken care of. You should have more people working for you like him. Because of him and what he does I will always go back there and send him all my friends.
Thank-you
Joe
