Whole Foods Market, Inc. Message Board

I'm long, but it's garbage...absolutely no content other than what everyone already knows...

ADUS is rated A by Schwab. I own it at $7.91.

good call- no thumbs down from me, got me out of 1/2 my May $5 calls at .23..

nice to hear you're holding on , I have those jan 15 $5's at .83, the Jan 14 $3's at .73 and a gamble (50 May 13 $5's at .11) that's now in the $$.

hey, look, a rare messge board troll from the 90's who still thinks he's funny...
lemme guess...
out of work or worthless work..
laughs out loud at own stupid comments...
no where near this vocal in real life...
not much going on in real life...so yahoo message boards continue to be highlight of day, 15 years running..

actually I was referring to the wfm chickens when I said yes, they are safe, bc I know they are temp controlled and in a much better enviro than the cutlets on the counter-I was using the butcher as an example of someone who doesn't even abide by the temp rules and still doesn't have people dropping dead or returning product bc they are sick...oohhh...lookie there, my 600 shares under 82 just went ballistic...

actually I never said it was right....but if you've ever taken a serve safe class or know anything about food safety, keeping food at the the proper temps is way more important than how long it's sitting...quality is a different topic, but he asked if it was safe...and bla bal bla'd about the bacteria count....

did they have wild range chickens?

after the close.

my local butcher deep fries chickem cutlets and then sells them off a room temperature counter all day long...uncovered..so, yes, they are safe...are they good? Depends how hungry you are, I guess..if not, return it, or grab something else...it'll be rehydrated in tomorrow's chicken salad or soup anyway...

junk HAIN? You said at 53 it was going to $45...it's now 20% higher...you need a real job...

j-
thanks again, you're a godsend...

WFM ran up 47% to a PE over 40 last year, it has nothing to do with pain from local supermarkets when you look at the historical PE of the compony. The pullback was healthy, just like TSCO, which did the same exact thing off par. I agree that supermarkets are stepping up their game, but they were all doing the same thing in 2005-2008 too, before the recession, the exact same thing. I also understand that Walmart has 25% of the grocery business in this country and gaining fast, so maybe traditional supermarkets are looking at the wrong demographic lol...in addition, Whole Foods is a strong brand, a very strong brand, for a variety of reasons past the food. You can paint lipstick on a pig, but it's still a pig when you talk about some conventioanl markets...also, these markets steppig up thier game only aids exposure to the Whole Foods brand in due time as shoppers become more and more educated on the product.

you finally got one right...they don't....because they went public, got cocky and tried to take on Whole Foods in Whole Foods territory...bad move. They should have stuck with expansion into brand new markets for a while. ie, no Whole Foods, no Trader Joes, No Wegmans, No EarthFare. Now they are feeling the pain....as Whole Foods reaps the gain. Inverted head and shoulder here, if it breaks the neckline on volume, look for mid 90's.

You kind have a choice here Sam-if it looks old, don't buy it and ask for something fresher. Management isn't always on top of every team member every minute, who wants that, it's micromanagement. So sometimes it helps if you bring it to their attention; it's kind of hard for anyone to help you with your issue on a yahoo message board. Also, if it doesn't look old and you buy it and it sucks or winds up being old, take it back for a full refund....even if you ate some of it...a FULL refund. Kind of a win win for Sam and WFM too because hopefully they'll address the issue once you bring it to their attention. If they don't, not your loss either, because you just find someplace else to shop for better food whereas they lose you as a customer. Lastly, if you feel compelled to make this your vocation in life, by all means post away and thanks in advance for the heads up on the rotten food. Since the company has over 300 stores though, it would help if you could give us a location during your play by play so we know where to avoid-some don't even have pizza, like the one near me in Phila.

yeah, I saw that too, but I gotta tell you, there was a heck of a lot of buy interest at 4.35-4.37 on level ii today...you would have though that was the 200dma lol

I agree, was just thinking about this this morning-even the board is relatively quiet for such a move, no extreme increase in bashers pumpers-no major headlines on news or financial media sites...just a steady move up with slight pull backs here and there...
