		<description><![CDATA[Stocks in the Consumer Staples sector carried out their traditional defensive role as the broader equity markets came under pressure over concerns about the prolonged weak US economy and the debt crisis in Europe. But the group has been a laggard as momentum returned to the market over the last three months. In 2011, the sector index grew 10.5% versus a flat finish for the S&#38;P 500 index. The group’s defensive attributes stem from its ability to buck sluggish economic growth as food, beverage, household products and cosmetics companies that manufacture and market non-durable consumables are considered essential to daily life, such as food, drink, toothpaste, deodorants, toilet paper, etc. Although staples’ top-line is expected to continue the uptrend of the last few quarters going forward, margins will remain under ]]></description>

In fiscal 2011, earnings of $3.38 per share also surpassed both the Zacks Consensus Estimate by one cent and the prior-year estimate by 8 cents per share, respectively.

Shares of consumer staples companies, accounting for a total of about 11.4% of the S&#38;P 500 Index, were up 5.3%, compared with a 3.3% drop for the S&#38;P 500. In 2010, the sector index grew 10.7% versus a 12.8% increase for the S&#38;P 500 index.

		<description><![CDATA[According to New York Times- Americans eat 31% more packaged food than fresh food and they consume more packaged food per person than their counterparts in nearly all other countries. A sizable part of the American diet is ready-to-eat meals, like frozen pizzas and microwave dinners and sweet or salty snack foods. This probably doesn&#8217;t come as a surprise, given the country’s obesity rates. However, the surprise lies in analysts assigning a camouflaged tone of under-weight to these processed and packaged food company stocks, which has been dwindling investor confidence over quite some time. Is Hormel Foods Corp (HRL) a prey to such a confusing situation? The Industry Hitch The trouble with quality food companies is that they rarely get cheap and when they do, they often erode away the ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We have downgraded our recommendation on Kellogg Company (K) to Sell from a Hold on weak third-quarter 2011 earnings of $0.80 per share, which lagged the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 10.1% and the prior-year earnings by 11%. The results were driven by weak economic environment, increased cost of goods sold and increased supply-chain costs due to the reinstatement of incentive compensation costs. The company expects these costs to rise for the foreseeable future. Though the company has shown compelling signs of improvement in the third quarter, particularly in the top-line growth, the results seem bleak in the challenging environment. Thus, the company has reaffirmed its 2011 internal sales guidance growth in the range of 4% to 5%. Kellogg lowered its 2011 internal operating profit guidance to a range of down ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) released a report on June 14, 2011 stating that traces of listeria have been found in the food products of a Kellogg Company (K) bakery in Augusta, Ga. The regulators after an inspection in February this year came up with such findings. The Augusta plant makes Keebler and Famous Amos cookies, and is one of five cookie bakeries Kellogg operates in North America. FDA said that listeria was found in several spots along the production line where the food stands at a higher risk of getting contaminated on direct contact. The FDA also noticed other unhygienic conditions such as insects hovering around the food. Even leaky pipes near food mixers and poling water near spiral coolers were a common sight at the plant.

Not only was the headline number disappointing, but the quality of the growth was lower relative to both the first release and relative to the fourth quarter. New commentary will also be in bold. In the first quarter, the economy grew at an annual rate of 1.8% (unrevised), down from 3.1% in the fourth quarter, and from the 2.6% pace ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The negative build-up over the last few days to today&#8217;s jobs report turned out to be completely off the mark. We got an impressive jobs report this morning, with the private sector coming up with one of its best showings in a long time. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported the creation of 244,000 jobs in April, handily coming ahead of expectations. This is one of the best jobs report in a very long time. Importantly, the private sector added 268,000 jobs in April, up from the March tally of 231,000, with broad-based gains across all sectors. On the negative side, the unemployment rate jumped to 9% in April from 8.8% in March, reversing the rapid decline of the preceding months. Today&#8217;s report is the first positive indicator following a ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Markets declined on Wednesday, as disappointing economic data combined with the lack of strong quarterly results weighed the benchmarks down. The job market has not looked rosy and investors’ fears were heightened with signs of a slowing economy. Even after three trading days, the markets have remained in the red for the week, failing to continue the strong gains of last month. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) shed 0.7% to settle at 12,723.58. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) closed down 0.7% at 1,347.32 and the Nasdaq Composite Index finished the day at 2,828.23, shedding 0.5%. The CBOE Volatility Index surged 2.3% and settled at 17.08. The fear-gauge index has now risen over 17% in the last four trading sessions. For the week, the Dow, S&#38;P 500 and ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[With the April non-farm payroll report coming out Friday morning, the market&#8217;s focus remains on the labor market. And we got a less-than-reassuring glimpse of the jobs situation through the weaker-than-expected report this morning from the payroll processor, Automatic Data Processing (ADP). ADP reported that 179,000 private sector jobs were created in April, which was short of expectations in the 200,000 vicinity. This is also below current expectations of private sector jobs in the Friday&#8217;s non-farm payroll report. ADP&#8217;s position as the nation&#8217;s largest private-sector payroll processor provides it an excellent vantage point from which to read changes in the nation&#8217;s labor market. The ADP report did not do a good job of foretelling the government jobs reports in the winter months, but has been right on the money in ]]></description>

The new revised numbers are in bold, the original estimates are in normal type and in parenthesis right after them. Thus it will be easy to see where the changes in GDP came from, not just relative to prior quarters, but relative to the first estimate. New commentary will be in italics. In the fourth quarter, the economy grew at an annual rate of 2.8% (3.2%), up from 2.6% in the third quarter, and up from the 1.7% pace in the second three months of the year.

		<description><![CDATA[Stocks had a mixed finish on Monday as investors avoided taking chances ahead of this week’s Federal Reserve meeting and the mid-term elections. A surprise jump in October manufacturing activities in China and the U.S. gave stocks some initial boost but the rally faded as investors, already concerned about the economic recovery, wondered if the Federal Reserve would launch the treasury buying program sooner than expected. The Dow Jones industrial average rose modestly after spending much of the session in negative territory. The 30-share average rose 6 points, or 0.06%, to 11124.6. The broader S&#38;P’s 500-stock index edged up more than one point, or 0.09%, to 1184.38. The Nasdaq Composite index fell 2.57 points, or 0.1%, to 2504.84.

The growth rate was in line with consensus expectations, and frankly a bit better than I was expecting. So how did we get to the 2.0% overall growth? What parts of the economy were growing and thus adding to growth, and which parts were acting as a drag on growth? Since the different parts of the economy are of very different sizes, and some tend to be relatively stable, while others can be very volatile, I will focus on the contributions to growth. In other words: growth points, not the percentage growth rates. After all, a ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Productivity increased at a 3.6 percent annual rate during the first quarter of 2010. Output rose 4.4 percent while hours worked rose 0.8 percent on a seasonally adjusted annual-rate basis. Year over year, productivity increased an incredible 6.3% as output increased 3.1 percent, while hours fell 3.0 percent. The year-over-year gain in productivity was the largest since a 7.0% increase in the first quarter of 1962! Since 1948 (when the data starts) the 6.3% level of productivity growth has only been exceeded six times. While the first quarter was a significant slowdown from the fourth quarter productivity pace of 6.3%, and the fourth quarter numbers were revised down from 6.9% growth, they were far higher than consensus expectations of 2.4% growth. These numbers make it extremely likely that the first ]]></description>
