Comment: Several commented on my
JVA stock question (one on Facebook). So I thought I would throw out another investment discussion: Coke vs Pepsi vs Dr Pepper Snapple. This is not a taste test question (I prefer Diet Pepsi), but if you could buy 100 shares of any of these which would you buy and why?
Relevant data from yahoo finance below:
KO
PEP
DPS
Comparison stock prices over the last year:
In general I like food stocks because "people are gonna eat". All of the above look to be solid dividend stocks. What think ye?
I'm not a huge guy in judging stocks, but looking at the P/E and history of the stock price, I've got to go with Coke unless it's evident that they've taken some liberties with accounting to juice the P/E ratio.
ReplyDeleteI like Coke too because they are strong internationally.

My investing skills are about like my 9-ball (pool) skills. At the rate I am growing I might be there in about 1000 years!
