My stock options

I've been reading this book: McDonald's Behind the Arches by John F. Love....and I love it.  Yes, I have professed my (and Chris') love for McD's before and I have always been fascinated by the chain's success.

So, I decided to read about it and I love the narrative!  I'll say that much for now and I will update you later about this book. 

Anyway, my stock options.  I have none so far.  But I soon will.  I hope.  Here's what I said to Chris this morning:

Me: I have an idea and I want to know what you think about it
Chris: Okay
M: You know the $4400 wedding ring that we plan on buying?
C: What about it?
M: Well, how about this?  Why don't you use $4000 to buy a stock for me.  The remaining 400 to resize (fix) my dad's wedding ring?
C: ??
M: I just feel like spending that much on a ring that will depreciate the moment I wear it is a bit silly.  If I'm going to spend that much on something, I want to spend it on something that will do something.  Besides, my dad's ring is just sitting here and I don't want it to go to waste.  It's meaningful to me. 

I think Chris was a bit surprised.  Obviously, because we have been shopping for wedding rings for some time and have actually found a pair that we both like.  So, this idea of buying stocks and bringing out my dad's ring kind of came out of nowhere.

Well, not really nowhere because Chris always knew that I wasn't big on wedding must-have's or must-do's.  So, I am sure that he doesn't think I am crazy.  For our wedding, we have pretty much scrapped all of the traditions.  XD  It's great!

So, what do you think?  What do you think of my stock options? =D
