Questions: We have a rapidly growing natural foods industry; yet two companys that interest me, Hain and Unfi, have a return on equity below 10%, a low cash position, and insider selling ( especially unfi). What is your take on the long-term potential of these companies? Will they be acquired by bigger fish? Will they continue to falter? All opinions welcome

Bemore, re: "Gary, did you let management know? Would be a good way to turn things around. I own a small store and I do appreciate imput from customers. I went long wfmi on Tues." Bemore, no I didn't tell mgt this time. Over the years I've mentioned the freezer issue several times, and gotten either excuses or no acknowledgement of the problem from management. The other items I assume are so obvious to management that I don't feel motivated to mention to them something that they must be seeing themselves. I'd be curious to hear observations from others of other specific wfmi stores: do they seem to be well-run and managed and customer-friendly? Good luck on your long position. I might join you at some point. Gary
