Obviously the stock market does not exist in a vacuum to society: some companies are more profitable than others blah blah blah. market caps, hype, short squeezes, etc. but isnt Earnings Per Share the best blind taste test of a stock to buy and hold or more specifically how much of a percentage of a stock it is
for example BRK has a huge EPS but the ratio per share is like .25 (still a feat no less).
obviously a one and done earnings beat is not what im talking about, im theoretically talking about something like NVDA with an EPS of under $10 dollars but obviously a multigenerational bagger so its gonna grow (in theory \*cough\*)
in theory i think i want to start chasing the “highest constant EPS”
im buying some real stinkers and mot following this advice anyway but hey, in theory “i could be smarter”
