DON'T BUY
Among the worst Dow performers in Q3 Down 17%. Pays a 6% yield. He expected more from them given the Covid booster shot business. Trades at 6.3x earnings. That tell him they gained little market share during the pandemic unlike CVS. They lack a strategy to compete with Amazon; people buy consumer staples from Amazon instead.

We should not judge when we sell or buy on a gain or loss in the past. It has an emotion effect, but in the end no one cares what we paid for it.
