ardoor for publicly expensive organic food have dimmed and in their places come target, walmart, krogerde. ah, it was never me. i never thought whole foods lost a step. i stuck by it. more important, the company heard what had people said had gone amiss. they saw it, themselves. they adjusted, cut expenses, introduced lower priced merchandise that brought the numbers right back up and then son, bargains on chickens, plus it hinted with the lack of cannibalization out there and what was thought to be the saturated areas around boston, if the 1,000 target goal for stores in the u.s., they have about 350 now. it could be too low. that's certainly my take away. i think in light of the same store sales success in collegeville, massachusetts, by the way, almost doubled what's in new york state and the instant hit in south bend, indiana, home of notre dame. you can argue that every college needs a whole foods nearby because they're healthy eating. they're driving this thing t. company rolled out plans for an affinity program. i think judging by the starbucks mindset of whole foods, they think

we know the competition in this space from both kroger and, yes, trader joe's. i like that place and trader joe's. they have started to give whole foods a run for its money. i would feel a lot more comfort annual about the stock going to the quarter if it were hanging out in the '80s. i know the long-term growth is intact. we could use a lot more. i wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't run more after spending all that time in purgatory. the walt disney company reports on tuesday, bob eiger's company, i think it is going to be fantastic. i got to tell you that the multi-year stars aligned here with a film red hot right now, brand-new "iron man 3" and more adventures, there is star wars star wars coming. star wars star wars 7. espn is claiming money. here's my hope. i hope come wednesday, see, i hope that disney, i hope that disney gets crushed. you know why? because i want to come out here wednesday evening and tell you to buy it. wednesday we're going to the oil patch. that's right. we got continental resources. remember them in the bachan? that's where we visite

without nearly as much money made for sale, it's possible they were able lose share to the likes of kroger, of all things, as well as that foreign encloture trader joe's. perhaps the chatter es and naysayers say whole foods lost its prime. maybe they lost their way. by the way, whole food has it's own $2-bucks, only better. management listen, management owners, they, too, you may fought believe it, they, too, are disappointed in themselves. see, they worked like crazy since then to cut cost, cut the way they ship goods, manage the supplies better, keep new growth lower, try to saturate the market and please wall street? no, to meet demand. wp it reported last time, it delivered unbelievable good numbers to put to rest anything is long, long term, if anything, things are more right than ever before. you know what the stocks still buy. even as it rallied $9.39. i know it. i was over brooklyn's giwanis canal, never to be confused with the canals of venice. i found myself staring at the biggest construction site in the most vibrantboro in new york a. giant whole foods in an amazing location. t
