Whole Foods Market Inc (WFMI) is a SELL
By admin | July 23, 2008
Oil prices are triple what they were when WFMI peaked in 2005, CPI increase of 1.1% is highest since June 2005, and home prices are still falling. Middle class consumers are no longer able to donate their weekly paycheck to WFMI now that they are facing high gas prices, declining incomes, and the mortgage trainwreck. Aggressive expansion by WFMI (new stores and purchase of Wild Oats) has been countered by slowing economy. Look for stock to take another hit when they miss earnings report on 8/5. If you think the US economy will recover by mid-2009, then buy on the dip and hold WFMI through Sep. 09.
