PEP looking good! - But expect more.

I made my PEP call on 2/21/12 and it has been positive momentum ever since. Though gradual, PEP is moving in the direction I thought it would after hitting resistance on Tuesday. PEP is a better company than a few layoffs will make you think, and it seems to me to be a move towards operational efficiency more than a move towards lower performance expectations.

PEP is going right back to where it came from. IMHO there is still plenty of time to jump on PEP as this is a long term play with lots of room to run. The recent pull back was merely creating a great buying opportunity to get a quality stock for much less than its worth.


I am still holding my January 2014 options with a $75 strike price which has gone up 6.5% today as it has benefited from momentum on only a .14% uptick in stock price. Again you get rewarded or killed on momentum in the options game. I paid the price big time last week on bad momentum so I'm still down on my trade over all. But this is just the beginning for this stock.
