Each of these companies is an easily understandable business whose strong brands mean their earnings are very likely to be materially higher five, 10, and 20 years from now. But while their future growth prospects remain strong, their share prices are the cheapest they've been in years. In such a volatile market, there's a chance these companies could fall farther, but I believe they're much closer to the bottom than the top.
