Stocks can keep things exciting, if you have a company you believe in or exciting if you have an ETF and enjoy a more hands off approach.

However, on the flip side of the equation, investors cheered when consumers got kicked off.NFLX beat its latest earnings report, and a big point of focus was the effect of cracking down on password sharing. Stock rose 16 % on the news, so if you held shares in Netflix ,and not just being a consumer of the product, you would appreciate the appreciation in share prices.
Gas
Gas Prices increase, consumers moan because it is completely out of your control, you can minimize your driving but that is about it. But what if you invested in oil companies?

If you hold shares of Exxon Mobil, you would enjoy dividends as well as stock appreciation. The attitude towards increased oil prices might be a little different, at least you can benefit from it.
