I chose Pizza Hut because I am a fan of their pizza. It is therefore only fair that I own part of the company by buying a few shares. Apple remains one of the most innovative companies in the 21st century. It is most likely that the company will continue being profitable even in the long run. An investment in such a company is therefore, likely to continue earning returns for me into the foreseeable future
