		<description><![CDATA[by Marc Lichtenfeld, Investment U Senior Analyst Wednesday, November 9, 2011: Issue #1639 I just got back from my annual physical. Fortunately, everything was fine. But my experience solidified my belief that one of the major healthcare trends that will emerge is the concept of personalized medicine. I had been going to the same doctor every year since 2003. He’s a good guy and has helped me when I’ve been sick. But when I went for my physical every year, he’d tell me to watch my cholesterol, turn my head and cough, and that was pretty much the end of it. This year, I changed doctors. The practice I go to takes a more holistic approach. No, they’re not burning incense and the place doesn’t smell like patchouli. They’re still ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Whole Foods Market&#8217;s (WFMI) fourth-quarter 2011 earnings of $0.42 per share beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate by a penny, and rose 27.3% from the prior-year quarter on strong sales. The company is revamping its pricing strategy and concentrating more on value offerings while maintaining healthy margins. Cost containment efforts, effective inventory management, and improved store-level performance are driving earnings growth. The company reiterated its fiscal 2012 outlook, and projected sales increase in a band of 13% to 15% and earnings growth in the range of 15% to 17%. Moreover, a prudent capital investment is also translating into improved cash flows with a lower debt level and a healthy balance sheet. We maintain our long-term Outperform recommendation on the stock. Our target price of $76.00, 33.8X 2012 EPS, reflects this view. ]]></description>

The company’s strong corporate and national brands helped gain customers’ loyalty.

Identical supermarket sales are expected to grow 3% to 4% in fiscal 2011 compared with 2.8% in fiscal 2010. The company aims to achieve annual earnings per share growth of 6% to 8% over a period of 3 to 5 years.

		<description><![CDATA[On Thursday, markets ended marginally lower and shed gains from the previous session. The dismal show of the indices yesterday was primarily due to disappointing economic data. However, successful bond auctions in Europe somewhat soothed investors’ frayed nerves. The Dow was down 0.2% and closed at 11,731.9. The S&#38;P 500 lost 0.2% and ended the day at 1,283.76. The Nasdaq composite edged down 0.1% and closed at 2,735.29. On the New York Stock Exchange, breadth of the market was marginally on the negative side and consolidated volumes stood at 4.4 billion shares. The economic data that caused much of the tension in the markets was from a report issued by the Labor Department. According to the report, the number of jobless claims surged to its highest level since October 2010. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by Marc Lichtenfeld, Advisory Panelist Did you know that 59 million American adults are obese? That’s 25% of the adults in this country. Not overweight. Not “soft around the middle.” Not, “Yeah, I could probably lose a few pounds.” Obese. I highlighted that alarming statistic in a report I published last week for my small-cap healthcare service, Access. Of course, it’s no surprise that America loves to eat. It’s also no surprise that many Americans eat too much – and often, indulge in food that’s bad for us… It’s obvious that we’ve vaulted from plus size, to king size, to super size.

		<description><![CDATA[Winn-Dixie Stores Inc. (WINN) reported fiscal fourth-quarter results earlier this week. The company swung to a net profit of $9.4 million from a net loss of $5.5 million in the year-ago quarter. Earnings per share came in at 17 cents, which missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate by a penny. Winn-Dixie is one of the leading food retailers in the U.S. and currently operates 515 grocery locations Incorporatedluding more than 400 in-store pharmacies, across Florida, Alabama, Louisiana, Georgia and Mississippi. The Jacksonville, FL-based company’s sales posted a slight growth of 1.4% year over year to $1.72 billion. This was driven by a 1.6% rise in identical-store sales, mainly due to a favorable shift in the timing of Easter holidays, partially offset by higher sales of generic drugs compared to branded ones. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Whole Foods Market, Inc. (WFMI) has rebounded nicely from its November low as the company continues to pursue price and promotional initiatives to attract value conscious consumers. Company Description Whole Foods Market, Inc. together with its subsidiaries, owns and operates natural and organic supermarkets primarily in the United States. The company was founded in 1978 and has a market cap of $3.79 billion. Whole Food&#8217;s took a turn for the worse when the economy started tanking a few years back.

But that’s exactly what happened yesterday, when Whole Foods (Nasdaq: WFMI) was upgraded by two analysts. “In summary this quarter we saw much better-than-expected cost containment, leveraging of labor costs, further capex [capital expenditure] cuts, plans to rationalize the store base and positive free cash flow,” said Bob Summers, analyst for Pali Capital.
