True and good points, Keith, but value aside. I'm not looking to buy currently, but that could change. I still follow the speculative saga. I can't stop thinking Wrigley's might be looking again in time. However healthy eating is in fashion this year along with rising food ingredients costs.

Keith, no offense taken, I do agree that a PE of 20 for a company which is experiencing growth issues seems excessive. The hope with HSY is for a reversion to the mean (as Paul would say), and that investor interest for a well known global brand will percolate, as it has in the past. Perhaps the HSY trust will reconsider its position, given the stagnant stock price. Quadra may indeed be a terrific speculative play, but to mention it as an alternative to HSY is like comparing apples to oranges. The betas, company history and longevity, and profiles of investors in HSY and Quadra are totally different.

Quadra. I took a position on this one today, on a nice price drop. US$14.25 finance.yahoo.com Aug. 9 (Bloomberg) -- Copper in New York fell the most in two months as global inventories rose to the highest level since June, bolstering speculation that demand for the metal may be slowing...Copper futures for September delivery fell 10.1 cents, or 2.9 percent, to $3.338 a pound at 9:08 a.m. on the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange. A close at that price would be the biggest drop for a most-active contract since June 8. Earlier, the metal fell to $3.32, the lowest since June 27. ................ big deal: kitconet.com quadramining.com quadramining.com
