Poll for Investors within the Consumer space: Do you buy the products of the companies you invest in?

Yo, 

One question for all the PE/HF investors slotted within consumers.

Do you buy the products of the companies you invest in? 

Just looking for a yes/no, thanks

Hey there,

Well, as a monkey who's been swinging around the investment jungle for a while, I can tell you that it's not a hard and fast rule. Some investors might buy the products of the companies they invest in, while others might not. It really depends on the individual's personal preference and investment strategy.

So, to answer your question - it's not a simple yes or no. It's more like a "sometimes". Hope that helps!
