He told me people are barely looking at the name brand meats and cheeses (Boars Head, Land of Lakes, etc) like they were a year or two ago. People are buying the discount (store) brands because of the lower prices. The store is cutting back big time on their orders of the name brand products, and getting a lot more of the generic stuff.

He said the same is true for all the departments in the store... name brand products are being passed over in favor of lower priced products.]]>

Boots and Coots Looking to Fire Up Profits http://seekingalpha.com/article/72353-boots-and-coots-looking-to-fire-up-profits?source=feed#comment-151003 151003
Not that it counts for much, but the History Channel (or was it Discovery) did a show on Red Adair and the history of capping wells & putting out well fires, and interviewed Boots and Coots. A very cool show, check it out if you get the chance.]]>

Still Too Early to Buy Sirius - Merrill http://seekingalpha.com/article/72104-still-too-early-to-buy-sirius-merrill?source=feed#comment-150359 150359
To all, I advise this- Get in and stay in for the long haul. This stock is going to go UP in capital letters.

Does anyone think some sort of reverse split may be in the cards, to raise the stock price to a level that large institutions would consider investing in it? That sure backfired for Sun Microsystems.]]>

The root issue, to me, is the satellite communications capability being built into both companies. One of these days, cell phones will be passe and everyone will be carrying satellite phones. Imagine a company that is getting their infrastructure in place years in advance.

I think a merger of SIRI/XMSR may well create a company that will be a friggin' GIANT when that happens.]]>

Greentech Media: Solar Sector Headed for a Shakeout http://seekingalpha.com/article/65920-greentech-media-solar-sector-headed-for-a-shakeout?source=feed#comment-146455 146455
if you have a few bucks to risk on a somewhat speculative play, consider WWAT. Solar power and cleaner water- what's not to like? Note that insiders have bought an average of almost 7 million shares per year for the last 3 years. If nothing else, a small player like that could be a takeover target. But what the hell do I know?]]>
