Is it you or your partner that makes the big financial investments/choosing financial instrument(s) to make hopefully good? (stocks, mutual funds, etc.)

I manage what I earn ...and some money I put into kitty on expenses with partner.

I rarely do it, but just bought a stock. Am just crossing my fingers. And it ticks me off royally that I had not purchased this particular stock 5 months ago!!.it is from a company that is heavily involved in the industry sector where I work now. I should know better than procrastinate too long.

Admittedly when I buy stock, I'm a nationalist: I will tend to lay my bets first on a home-grown company...based in Canada with overseas operations for expansion.
