Investment "Logic"

Ok, so I've talked so far about why I'm up to this, I've shared a couple of my first lessons I've already learned holistically, now I guess it's time to show what little I really know and start digging into each of these stocks I own 1 by 1.  Talk about what my investing thesis was, what I felt I "knew" to back that up and what I've done right and wrong up to this point.  I guess I'll just pull one of my 7 out of my hat and start with that one.  Today's choice is...  Pepsico (PEP). Pepsi was one of the first stocks I wanted to own, but I have yet to have filled my position on it.  For those who live under a rock, Pepsico is a mult-national company which focuses on the production and distribution of a wide variety of non-alcoholic beverages and snacks (uhh, Pepsi for example?).  I've seen numerous interviews with the CEO Indra Nooyi and I must say I was rather impressed with what I heard and saw.  She has a vision of not just making profit...

Today, I've decided to start a blog that tracks what I do and how I think about my investments.  For the most part, this blog is for me to hold myself accountable for what I do, however, if others decide they find this interesting, I look forward to a start of positive communications and idea sharing.  I think you learn the most when there's constructive discussions and I won't accept anything less. As for me, I'm just a pretty average person.  You'll find I can be a little scattered at times and can ramble.  I try my best, though, it's just difficult sometimes.  I have decided to invest some of my savings in the hope to use my money to make more money.  I'm not rich, I'm not poor, I believe in hard work.  I have purchased stocks already and have been holding them for up to almost 2 years at this point.  I plan to start by laying those positions out talk about where I'm at, what I'm thinking, and what I know I've done right or wrong already...
