Kenny Polcari thinks there are good aspects in each of today's Big 3. He mentions the recent declines in each but is hopeful for a brighter future for all of them.

The company's stock has done better than its competitors over the last 3 and 20 years, showing strong performance this year and impressive earnings in the third quarter. The way management is paid is designed to match the interests of shareholders, which helps support ongoing growth and decisions that benefit investors.
