Again scanning the falling knives of the 52W low list, we've been talking about another retailer, WMT, here, now yielding about 3.4%. It's problems are very well documented. From a macro perspective, I would opine that the drop in oil and gasoline prices could be more than just a small boost for its target market this upcoming holiday season.

re WFM (Whole Foods): ...And it has a very low d/e ratio. That should give it some flexibilty in responding to heavy competition now being seen in its market (natural foods). I am in for a few shares. I often shop at Whole Foods because it's convenient for me and has foodstuffs not available at other markets. For me, that makes holding some shares somewhat more attractive than if it were just a dispassionate decision to buy/hold/avoid based solely on an evaluation of the company's financial performance, metrics or media reports.

Re: Whole Foods Market, Inc. (WFM) Competition slams Whole Foods' same-stores sales, shares drop ----------------------------------------------------- It's a very tough business and new competition in this sector. The only value attribute I can find is WFM has little debt. PE still too high, low BV and even their divided not that attractive. I will shop at the store if/when I need something as quality is always good. However, not a quality 'value' investment IMO. Need to see how much company owned real estate they own if any. That may/could change my mind. EKS
