campbells soup still on a roll

[glovesetc]

as their stock today is up another 1/2 % !!!!! You might want to check their chart out - {CPB} . Only thing that bothers me about that is could this be a harbinger of the future - lol????????:cool2 :

Campbell's is still made in this country?

a low dollar makes it dirt cheap and a great export. we need a whole lot more items made here to take advantage of a cheap dollar.

Actually, Kelloggs and McDonalds aren't doing too bad either, and have weathered the initial phase OK. BTW if these stocks are of significance, then grab a Health-Care stock or two... sugar, salt, fat and cholesterol... the 4 major food groups.

but we might need all the soup for here . I had a realtor today call { making a cold call } and he said there has never been a better time to buy a hiouse then now . I told him right - that is what realtors were sayting 3 years ago !!! Buy now before somebody outbids you !!! LMAO!!!!

no clue on that buddy !!!! When I sold my businesses 3 years ago I cashed out the IRA and the 401K and was kicking myself . Happy I did not wait as it would of been bad news !! I got top buck for my businesses , warehouses , and all the real estate and today I could not get half or worse might not even be able to sell it . The market and the economy has a long ways down yet to go .

Yup! But nobody here remembers soup lines including you and me--we heard about them from our parents! Apples and pencils might be a good investment, too.

there was 2 hookers in Fed Court filing bankruptcy and the judge asked them why ??? Both in unison said " business is so bad your honor we can't even give it away " !!!!!! The downturn is going to continue especially now the euro is in trouble big time . Funny the boneheads are still buying the dollar and it is going to inflate like the Goodyear blimp sooner then later . It is now aglobal crisis and perhaps this will start to sink in sooner or later . The Jap Yen and the Chinese Yuan though seem to be unaffected actually ! It will be interesting to see how things go !!!!!!

Souplines... my parents remember that and the apples and pencils. I see in our local supermarket flyers that soup is on sale.... Chunky used to be $2.59 locally... now 3/$4.... go figure. However... W-Mart has had Chunky for $1.68 (say 3/$5) for 3 years running!, and they dropped to $1.50 recently. Perhaps W-Mart saw this financial mess early... lol

people are buying the generic "Chunky" soup that is made by Campbells on the same assembly line and in the same factory . I was in the food business for 40 years amongst other sideline investments and I was at Kelloggs in Battle Creek Michigan and saw the line run rice crispies - my fav - and then I saw them run Krispy rice for wal-mart without the line slowing down for a heartbeat . Tell you anything my friend ?????
