Wheels falling off food stocks ?, page-315

I agree that the inevitable weakness that follows such a strong run in food/consumer stocks has occurred.
This weakness doesn't dispel the fact that the with a number of them the underpinning fundamentals remain. They have solid bases to continue to grow from and quietly grow legs as they enjoy earnings growth above most other businesses.
The formula makers are uniquely positioned being in the right place, at the right time with the right product.
So if you are making money shorting the stock I say good luck to you, because it is any wonder why there is so much speculative money. BAL, BKL and others seem to make the newspapers every week now that the news out there; however, going back only a little while there was little interest.
Ultimately though it is really only the market that is correct and if you happen to ride on its coat tails up or down then all the best!
