I just got home and saw the WFMI numbers. Since they just met expectations at 21% growth (put into perspective, that's not bad at all), I think the conference call tomorrow will carry a lot of weight with the analysts.

To me, the most bullish part was where it said 29 stores are under development, this is a third of the existing number of stores. Expectations for a 19 percent increase in profits (from 1.65 to 2.00) will easily be greatly exceeded with a 33 percent increase in stores, not even counting increases in comps.

The stage is set for exceeding expectations in the future. This is true not only of WFMI, but also OATS, TWLB, and other industry stocks that are oversold.

The analysts have sold these stocks down because of bad results from competitors that don't have a clue. What they haven't figured out yet is that GNC and the commodity nutrition companies are doing poorly because OATS, WFMI, TWLB, and NTOL are taking away their business.
