Interestingly, my 3M stock purchase worked out. I'm currently up 53% and have booked 2 quarterly dividends. That's probably the best I've ever done on an individual stock purchase. Obviously my long term index holds are up more than that over time, but I'm pretty happy with the stock pick.
Now I need to figure out if I should sell it or turn DRIP on and let it go. If I can get things wound down in the next couple weeks, I'll look into the company a little more.
Full disclosure, my pussy ass only bought 2 shares, but I'm still marking it down as a win.
