Investing legend Peter Lynch famously advised investors to beat Wall Street by investing in companies they saw doing well in their everyday lives. Inspired by Lynch’s approach, here are three companies that ordinary consumers may relate to based on personal experiences:

* Genuine Parts (GPC): With its vast network of auto parts stores, Genuine Parts benefits from the trend of Americans keeping their cars longer, requiring routine maintenance and parts replacements. Its long history of dividend increases (Dividend Aristocrat status) and relatively stable stock price make it suitable for dividend-capture trading and writing options premiums.

* McDonald’s (MCD): Despite his personal preference for Coca-Cola over coffee, the author highlights the widespread appeal of McDonald’s to consumers of all ages. The fast-food chain’s impressive profit margins, dividend yield, and low beta make it another candidate for dividend-capture trading.

* Walmart (WMT): As the world’s largest retailer, Walmart offers essential items like protein shakes and pet food, attracting repeat customers. Its ongoing expansion plans and strong financial performance, including a low beta and high trading volume, make Walmart suitable for dividend-capture trading as well.
