PCM-some-DAGMD DAGMD-some-PCM PCM-most-not DAGMD not DAGMD-some-PCM "Thus, even companies that are managed badly will usually turn a profit."

@rockinrobinpa you are absolutely correct. Naz made a mistake there.

It is saying that some companies that are managed badly will also turn a profit.

Hope that helps! Please let us know if you have any other questions.
