OT: Hershey (HSY) doesn't look that bad to me. Not a value stock at current price though, as I look at it. Still, the brand name is very recognizable, and it's hard to see the company not being around in ten years (unless it gets acquired by somebody - which might be a possibility). I'll take some shares, with the intent to watch and hold for a while. Roughly a 2.8% dividend yield, with a history of dividend raises. finance.yahoo.com ----------- And now, after maybe 65 years, HSY seems like it's actually going to get aggressive about being in Europe/UK. ("International sales made up only 14 per cent of Hershey’s total revenues last year of $5.3bn.") An exclusive tie-in with Walmart (edit: That's how it's spelled in the article) might not be great for HSY margins, but it's a distribution system that can handle volume. ft.com
