Free Coffee? Sure, if you own stock in Starbucks.

May 22, 2008

In a market like this, where stocks seem to be getting slammed every day, there is a bright spot to owning certain stocks.

You see, some stockholders get extra perks, even if they own just as 1 share of stock.

For instance, if you own stock in Berkshire Hathaway, you get discounts from some of the companies that Berkshire owns - like GEICO insurance. Plus, they get invited to its famous annual meeting where they can take in the wisdom of Warren Buffett.

Investors who own at least 100 shares of Royal Caribbean stock get great savings on the company’s cruises.

And if you’re a Starbucks stockholder? Well, you get a gift card that’s just enough to cover the cost of one of their coffees. Hey, it ain’t much. But it’s better than nothing.

Check it some more stockholder perks in this Motley Fool article. And tell us if you get any perks from the stocks that you own.
