Upthumb. Nominal cash flow. Low payout ratio. Good quick ratio. Low to nominal debt ratio. Low gross margins. Continues to execute well. Plenty of growth opportunities.

They have a compelling product during a depression era when people are looking to enjoy food at home, eat right. Diamond's Emerald brand is meeting consumers' goals of a good value.

This company has a PEG ratio well below one, and has a margin structure that is blow the average for CPG companies. It is a high growth, small cap food company with strong brands and a good balance sheet...lot's of upside, and appears to have little downside.

Along with supplying all ranges of the consumer nut market, from bulk sales at Costco and Wal-Mart to single-serving canisters and bags, Diamond Foods Is a Savvy Investment in a slowing economy, as staple foods and home consumption increase. Also well positioned with major distributors.

Company is performing very well in a somewhat safe consumer space. Keeps reporting great quarters; gets rewarded with a 20% one day drop? This is a guarenteed winner. Get some of this. Or you're nuts!

The market seems to think the company is worth 25% less than it was before the "record" quarter, simply because of cautious guidance going forward and a one week delay in the walnut harvest? Doesn't seem to make sense to me, I'm long at $23.50

Jim Cramer pick on Mad Money. I want to see how one of his picks does.

The company's numbers do not show a company that can beat the market. Maybe they'll have another run, but the steam isn't there. They're costs are soaring with their sales and it looks like they don't have much breathing room. Add in bad cashflow and strong competition, you have a sure failure in the making. Will the company make a profit? Yes. Will it beat the market? Not consistantly. Not overall.

This company is being poorly managed, terribly overspending on a branded entry trying to compete with one of the best marketing companies in the world (Nabisco). In addition, its growers are leaving the company in droves. This stock is a bow-wow.

Their balance sheet is just not strong enough. Much of this is because the business is very cyclical. During the late winter and summer months, they do not sell nearly as many products as they do during the holiday times.
