So, few years ago Uncle Joe dropped me $100,000 when he died. Very sad!

He left me some papers income statements of two companies and directed me, in his will, that I MUST pick one of the two companies to invest the $100k in. Uncle Joe was always a bit of a control freak!

Attached in a separate doc are those two Companies. Pumpkin and Bucks. I need your help. WHICH ONE would you advise me to pick? And tell me why, please.
