To The Moon

My afterthoughts to Tiger_chat 's question of whether an investor profits from a good company or a good price ?

"Why not both" I asked myself ?

Wouldn't there be more upsides comparatively speaking ?

Having put the theory to test on different company types (see below for details); time to try it on a food & beverage company ?

Testing $Pepsi(PEP)$ & see if it fits the bill.

Sidetrack: Below are stocks that I have covered. Interested ? Click to read.
