Blue Square Israel operates that country's largest chain of supermarkets. It is traded on the American Stock Exchange as an ADR. While we are loathe to enter the poisonous geopolitical atmosphere of the former Palestine - a nearly 11% dividned is, well a nearly 11% dividend. Not that we are for sale or anything. The stock is at the low end of it's 52 week range and the company is diversifying into other retail businesses. This, of course, is fraught with risk - but there is upside imbedded in the possiblity of buying into the Israeli equivalent of the former glory days of Sears - and like the present Sears, Blue Square has some valuable real estate.

Although this stock will underpreform the S & P; it is still a good investment. It is not heavily traded ( more on that later), so I would caution you on that. But a nice dividend ( 8.89%) and PE ratio will ease the pain. I pleaded with my broker to buy it and he kept saying..." No, it is not something I would trust in Sandy. It's not heavily traded and it being a retail food stock it won't weather the price increases". Well. Kept after him for a month when it was hovering between 9.6 and 10.5 > Finally stopped hitting my head against the wall. Now, it is at 14.40. Go figure.

This company has a hard competition against the small food companies (like Rami Levi) and few weeks ago they sold chickens in 1 shekel per killogram (1/4 dollar per killo of chicken, loosing price which made them loose alot of money), and it seems that with the blue square expansive prices or crazy sells it will continue to become less popular...


most of the people here prefer the small stores with the better prices.
