Anybody going long Whole Foods has to believe, implicitly, in economic recovery because, absent that, folks will discover rather quickly that they can survive just fine without five-dollar organic artichokes.

Tack. Whole Foods is a very interesting company

It is one that I follow - I don't own the stock but it is a good indicator of consumer mood - better than survey. A canary. Similar to transport stocks which I also pay a lot of attention too - even though I don't own any.

Watch their sales, build program and stock price. They tell you something about what is going on in the real world.

How can WFM be doing well when we are in Great Depression 2?

How?

Are they running Organic Soup Kitchens?

Have they invented an Organic form of Crisco?

The wealthy and the healthy will keep trafficking and spending at WFMI regardless of the rest of the population's financial woes. Plus it still has synergy benefits playing out from Wild Oats acquisition. Stock likely to hold up relative to retail peers and probably broader market in tough economic environment. Ready to nibble at the 200-day.
