They are not the only ones. Recent earnings reports show that the food producers and others who make "necessities" are doing a good job of front running inflation and/or taking advantage of peoples inflation expectations. Prices, profits, and costs are all going up. It seems strange given that Americans are supposed to all have their wallets closed right now. You would expect prices to get dragged along unwillingly by inflation and not lead it. (In other words, profit margins narrowing.) I just can't figure it out: Joe Sixpack spending down, profits for basic providers up, stock market record outflows, insider selling, stocks holding up, etc. Maybe Joe Sixpack has decided to use whats left of his money to start hoarding Spam and toilet paper? You got any theories?

It's part of the food pryramid? Only rich people from Hawaii eat spam...the 1%<g> Other notable poor people stocks are peaking...MCD etc finance.yahoo.com "For we are opposed around the world by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy that relies primarily on covert means for expanding its sphere of influence-- on infiltration instead of invasion, on subversion instead of elections, on intimidation instead of free choice, on guerrillas by night instead of armies by day. It is a system which has conscripted vast human and material resources into the building of a tightly knit, highly efficient machine that combines military, diplomatic, intelligence, economic, scientific and political operations. Its preparations are concealed, not published. Its mistakes are buried, not headlined. Its dissenters are silenced, not praised. No expenditure is questioned, no rumor is printed, no secret is revealed." -John F. Kennedy
